      Waste & Small Package Shipping Savings

      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.

          Getting Started is Easy!

          Step 1

          Provide Us Invoices or Online Access

          First, you provide us with the bills or online access to your vendors so we can establish a baseline of your current cost structure.

          Sign our Letter of Agency & Service Agreement

          You also sign a letter of agency so we can negotiate with your current vendors, because chances are you’re not looking to switch. You also sign our service agreement which covers our business terms.

          Step 2

          We do the Analysis & Negotiating.

          This is where we use our benchmarking data to research options and negotiate better deals for you.

          Set Up a Call to Introduce Our Specialist

          We don't need much from you during this step, just a quick call to introduce our specialist who is doing the work.

          Step 3

          We Share Our Recommendations

          Then we share our recommendations with you. You choose what to implement and we take it from there.

          Milestone Realty and Skyline Recovery

          Shannon is a stellar client relations specialist who goes above and beyond to find cost reduction solutions. Her team's innovative approach and meticulous analysis of our expenses allowed us to uncover savings we hadn't even considered. I was thrilled when Shannon came back to me with a detailed report, revealing that Schooley Mitchell had identified savings in our waste disposal, phone, and internet services. This new found budget flexibility will greatly benefit our organization.

          Spark Signs & Graphics

          Shannon’s team analyzed our credit/debit card processing and shipping invoices to determine whether savings could be found. The Schooley Mitchell process is seamless and easy for the client. All that was required was a quick conversation about our set up, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there. My confidence was proven right when Shannon came back to me and presented the report showing that Schooley Mitchell was able to identify 45% savings in credit/debit card processing and significant recommendations to reduce our shipping costs. This will go a long way toward refocusing our budget on what matters most.

            Uniforms & Linens

            Do you rent or purchase uniforms?

            With no inventorial upfront costs and easier access to replacements/repairs, renting from a reliable source has become a preferred option to purchasing outright.

            Does your uniform rental policy properly account for employee damage and loss?

            Loss and damage charges include the purchase of a new garment at full retail price on top of the associated setup, name tag, logo fees, and sometimes replacement charges, depending on your rental agreement.

            Are your laundering and delivery schedules optimized?

            Without the correct cadence, your business could be overspending or not receiving what it needs to operate efficiently.
