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.

Software as a Service

Are you on top of all your licenses?

It’s all too easy to let seats go unoptimized or unused as your company grows and changes.

Are you paying for more than you need?

Some bundles charge for more than you use. We help you find the solution best suited for your needs.

Are you paying competitive rates?

Without comparative data, how can you be sure? Schooley Mitchell has the database of client data to be certain.

School 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.

          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, as well as associated setup, name tag, logo fees, and sometimes replacement charges.

          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.

          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?

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

                  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

                  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.
