jrcaughey – About

ARE YOU 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 – making a difference.

At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent. Our consultants don’t accept kickbacks or incentives from service providers, and our process is completely risk-free. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to generate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact. If we can’t deliver on savings, we don’t get paid.

Getting Started is Easy!

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.

stratford – Coach Bus Savings

You're Focused on Getting People Where They Need to Go — Let Us Make Sure You're Not Overpaying to Do It.

Running a bus operation means dealing with rising fuel prices, compliance costs, vehicle maintenance, and ever-tightening margins. Every dollar saved on operating expenses is a dollar that goes back into your fleet, your drivers, and your business. That’s where Schooley Mitchell comes in.

We’re North America's largest independent cost reduction consulting firm. We analyze your vendor invoices, negotiate better terms, and reduce your overhead — without compromising quality or service.

Our expertise is behind-the-scenes — but the results are front and center. At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. We do not receive incentives or bonuses from service 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.

You focus on transportation. We focus on optimization. Together, we move your business forward.

Fuel

Is your business finding the unpredictable cost of fuel to be a burden on your bottom line?

Schooley Mitchell ensures you’re paying fair rates on an ongoing basis, to protect your fuel budget, even in times of market instability.

Are you using the right fleet card solution?

Our vast database of customer and vendor data allows us to know what better options are on the market.

Are your corporate discounts being honored?

We monitor, identify, and resolve billing errors.

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.

Electronic Logging Devices

Are you paying for features in your ELD system that your business doesn’t actually use?

Many companies are subscribed to premium-tier plans when more basic packages would meet compliance needs just as effectively.

Have you compared pricing across different ELD providers recently?

The ELD market is competitive, and providers frequently update their pricing and features — switching vendors can lead to significant savings.

Are you locked into a long-term ELD contract with early termination fees?

We often uncover opportunities to renegotiate terms or align contract timing with operational needs to avoid unnecessary penalties and costs.

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.

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.

“The savings he found for telecom were the equivalent of us getting 60 new donors – and it only took me a couple hours of my time to make that happen. Two hours for 60 donors? I’d do that again in a second.”

Lee Behensky

Quantum Leap Farm

“Out of curiosity, I contacted former colleagues to ask what pricing they could provide, and to my astonishment, they were only able to provide pricing half as good as what Amanda and Schooley Mitchell could provide. This proved to me that Schooley Mitchell has built very strong relationships and has remarkable buying power.”

Wayne Fredin

Community Options

“For Waste Removal, Schooley Mitchell presented some local options where we could make a switch from our current provider and save 80%! Those are savings we did not realize were available and Schooley Mitchell did a great job laying out the implementation process”
