Laundry & Linen Savings Audit
Achieve substantial savings on laundry expenses with strategic negotiation and ongoing audits for optimal efficiency.
We have been helping clients in the USA & Canada save money for 18 years with proprietary software that helps us identify savings from 30-50%.
This auditing allows for contract compliance where we routinely find credits.
We are looking for clients that spend 100K+ with our Industry National Suppliers – Cintas, Aramark, Alsco, or Unifirst.
Expense Reduction Opportunity
Our services empower businesses to reduce expenses on laundry rental and linen cleaning, yielding savings ranging between 30% and 50% on invoices from reputable providers like Cintas, Aramark, UniFirst, or Alsco.
Through strategic negotiation and ongoing audits, we secure favorable terms upfront and provide detailed reports, enabling you to maintain focus on your core operations.
Worried about existing contracts? Our solutions facilitate savings without necessitating a switch in service providers, alleviating concerns about contract termination or penalties. Whether you’re mid-contract or seeking optimization, we ensure cost efficiencies without disruption.
Case Studies
Regional Grocery Store chain with 26 locations
The Situation
- Nearly $250k spent annually on outsourced laundry services including uniforms, towels, aprons, mats, restroom services, chemicals and more. – A Master Agreement for all locations with 18 months remaining. – COO and CFO were concerned about increasing costs that fluctuate wildly making it hard to budget. –
- Other issues included: A lack of consistency in the products and inventories of each store and whether the products were necessary.
Our Process
☑️ Our Team went to work and started digging into the existing contracts and invoicing for every line item of all store locations.
☑️ We discovered that the Master Agreement was not properly executed and that there were 3 different suppliers with inconsistent pricing and terms. The Master Agreement had 25 contracted items, yet there were 139 on the invoices. We compiled all of the results with projected savings for the Initial Analysis and Strategy Meeting. Client selected the strategy to move forward to achieve the best pricing, terms and product/pricing controls.
Results
We reviewed all of the in-service products, inventories and store placements by store to maximize the service and cost. Successful negotiations resulted in best pricing, terms, product quality and dedicated National Account customer service manager.
