Auditing
How do you know you are getting a good deal?
When was the last time you benchmarked the cost of your office supplies?
Are you sure you're not being charged for delivery and insurance?
Your core list prices are great, but what if you buy outside of this list?
How do you know what you're paying using an un-priced catalogue?
These questions and more are all answered by commissioning Almo to undertake an Office Supplies Audit. We have developed a complex software solution that forensically integrates your purchasing habits and patterns, identifying exactly where you may have problems.
A typical audit will take up to 2 weeks to process; after this we will arrange a meeting to discuss our findings and present the results back to you. Although we have designed the software to save time, a full audit will on average take over 4 hours.
This service has become hugely popular in the last few years; its growth has tracked our competitors’ increasingly puzzling and complex pricing models. The desire to have a reporting tool that makes even the most confusing contracts transparent has driven our continued development of this service.
We are limited to the number of audits we can undertake each year. Our current capacity is four per month; this ensures we maintain the service at the highest quality but has the side effect of an oversubscribed audit service. To help with this and limit our exposure to being used for ‘general benchmarking’ exercises, we ask for a level of commitment from you. Outlined below is the qualifying process for an Office Supplies Audit:
1. Initial consultation meeting - 15/20 minutes
2. Supply of all the information required
3. Date for presentation of final report - all parties involved with purchasing decision in attendance
4. Pro-forma invoice agreed - 2009 fee £225exc.vat - Refundable on 1st month’s trading.
