Waste

How predictable is your waste every month?

Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?

Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.

Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?

A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

Merchant Services

Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?

A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.

Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?

How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.

Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?

This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

Telecom

Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

Shipping

Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?

Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.

Compressed Gases

Do you think your compressed gases expenses are written in stone?

Commodity markets can be complex and confusing, making it difficult for business owners and managers to navigate.

Are you certain there are no billing errors in your invoices?

There are opportunities to optimize pricing structures and recover billing errors.

Are you receiving all tax benefits available to you?

Your business might be missing out on significant savings opportunities.

Facility Supplies

Are you over or undersupplied?

We audit your invoices to ensure optimal delivery schedules.

Are you splitting hairs with multiple vendors?

We look at all supplies invoices, across all vendors, to make sure everything you need is being ordered, delivered, and replenished effectively.

Do you require specific product quality or other specifications?

Schooley Mitchell helps you find the solutions that bet fit your business.

        Case Study

        The Client:

        • Signs a Service Agreement that covers our business terms
        • Provides us with bills, or online access to their accounts, so we can establish a baseline of their current rate structure
        • Signs a letter of agency, so we can negotiate with their current vendors
        • Describes their current processing environment

        Schooley Mitchell:

        • Uses our benchmarking data to research options and negotiates better pricing for the client
        • Requests, reviews, and validates competitive quotes from other processors
        • Negotiates with the current vendor for a re-rate
        • Compiles our research and recommendations into a Value Report
        • Assists with the cancellation of services if needed
        • Assists with compliance standards
        • Implements pricing and changes
        • Confirms the new price 30 days after implementation

        Client A:

        An attorneys office, with an average annual revenue between $1 to $5 million. Their pain points included:

        • Very poor service experience from incumbent phone system provider left them without phones for multiple employees with no clear path forward to close gap
        • Concerned costs for overnight document shipping were out of line with no ability to compare to the broader market
        • Limited time to investigate phone providers and shipping costs and no market data to use while negotiating

        Client A sought Schooley Mitchell’s marketplace intelligence and expertise to assist with a phone transition and to save money across essential services.

        Schooley Mitchell's Solution:

        • Reduced shipping, data/internet, and waste removal costs with no vendor change
        • Coordinated transition of phone system to a modern platform, added needed phone, and reduced phone system spend

        "We brought Aman in to review our shipping, telecom, and waste expenses - things that aren’t usually top of mind but definitely add up. His team made the process simple and didn’t disrupt our operations. The results spoke for themselves: 14% annual shipping savings without switching vendors, and peace of mind knowing we were already optimized elsewhere. Aman and his team were responsive, transparent, and clearly know how to help law firms run leaner without cutting corners. If you’re looking for a smart way to improve your bottom line, I’d definitely recommend having a conversation with him."
