Landing Template
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.
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.
FICA Program
What is it?
A reduction in employer FICA taxes with average savings of $575 per employee, per year.
Who Qualifies?
Any organization with a minimum of 5 full-time W2 employees (30+ hours per week)
What does it cost me?
No "out-of-pocket cost" - complimentary plan alongside Major Medical Coverage or as a standalone program.
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.
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.
Facility Supplies

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?

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.
Software as a Service
Are you on top of all your licenses?

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.
