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.

        IS YOUR MUNICIPALITY BEING OVERCHARGED FOR VITAL BUSINESS SERVICES?

        Your team has more important things to do than conducting thorough audits of your expenses. Thankfully, that’s what Schooley Mitchell does, all day, every day. We optimize your expenses so you can focus on doing what you do best.

        We know your auditors and/or accountants do a fantastic job reviewing your budgets and spending; however, we can’t all be experts in everything. Schooley Mitchell’s team of experienced analysts know how to identify savings opportunities and overspending in key areas.

        At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. Our consultants receive no incentives or bonuses from services providers. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to negotiate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact; if we don’t deliver savings, we don’t get paid.

        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

        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.

        Provide Us Invoices or Online Access

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

        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.

          rferguson lservino – Senior Living Savings

          ARE YOUR COMMUNITIES BEING OVERCHARGED FOR VITAL BUSINESS SERVICES?

          Senior-living industries continue to face challenges that directly affect the resident experience - including staffing shortages, rising care needs, and growing demand for personalized, hospitality-driven services. While teams prioritize quality care, overlooked costs like waste, telecom, supplies, and linens can quietly drain budgets - or, if optimized, unlock meaningful savings without impacting service.

          For 20+ years, Schooley Mitchell has helped clients improve profitability by controlling vendor costs. Our contingency-based model blends internal audit, outsourced procurement, and back-office support - taking the burden off your staff.

          We don’t accept incentives from providers, so our recommendations are objective and tailored. If we don’t find savings, you pay nothing. But when we do (our clients average 28% in savings) we simply share in the results.

          So, what’s stopping you from confirming whether your vendor pricing and contracts are truly competitive?

          Questions to Consider

          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.

          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.

          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.

          Is your provider phasing out copper wires or analog telephone systems?

          Cloud based telecommunications systems, such a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) 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.

          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.

              rwead asmith – California Restaurant Association

              ARE YOU PAYING TOO MUCH FOR YOUR “INDIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES”?

              We know that—running a profitable restaurant isn’t easy. Margins are razor thin. Food and labor costs keep climbing. Rent and compliance don’t get any cheaper. Even if you’re busy, you might still be wondering where all the money is going. The answer might be in your indirect operating expenses—the “non-food, non-labor” costs that quietly chip away at your bottom line. These costs can easily account for 5 to 12% of your total revenue—and most restaurants don’t realize they’re overpaying.

              We also know that your Team has more important things to do than to conduct a thorough audit and renegotiation of your business expenses; but that’s what Schooley Mitchell does, all day, every day. We optimize your expenses so you can focus on doing what you do best – delighting your customers.

              And here’s the best part: you only pay on the savings we uncover . No savings? No fee. That’s our 100% performance-based model—and it’s risk-free. You are never obligated to take our savings recommendations.

              Please register below for a 15-minute phone call to discuss which expense categories you want us to review as part of your complimentary cost analysis.
