Myth vs Reality

The Myths: Office supplies is just a basic commodity; It should be an easy commodity to change; We'll get a quick result. The Realities: There are no standards for product number codes, packaging, quality, etc., making it difficult for companies to identify current spend data; All vendors sound the same with capabilities and promises; Suppliers play games with pricing structures and strategies; For many companies it is their first attempt to consolidate office supply purchases to a single vendor, often wasting valuable time reinventing the wheel; Most savings estimates are derived on paper with little verification or audit of actual results; The typical process from start to implementation is 9 to 12 months, wasting significant dollars.

Audit Services

Many companies have gone to the marketplace and run competitive bids to secure a vendor which is most capable of providing the required services and lowest prices. After negotiations and final clarification you've entered into a contract.

Relief....... we are finally done with a commodity and can move on.

If you find yourself in this situation, SPP's audit services are just what you need.

We evaluate your current spending history against the original terms and conditions of your contract.

Our goal is to find as many additional dollars in savings as possible.

SPP achieve verifiable savings using available market contracts as current baselines.

Once we know how much you can save, there are several options:

• Have us negotiate with your current vendor to meet market conditions.

• Take your volume to the marketplace through an RFP.

In either case, we split the savings. One more thing, we track actual savings quarterly and invoice you for the savings split along with the documentation.
