How can Chartwell save me money if Im already in a buying group?
If no other cost reduction measures are taken with respect to office products, buying groups do offer savings opportunities for businesses. However, our experience has proven that there are always significant savings opportunities above and beyond the effectiveness of buying groups. Contracted items negotiated by buying groups are not compatible with many businesses and, therefore, those businesses cannot take advantage of the negotiated pricing. Chartwells approach is to negotiate the best pricing for office products you need and want to buy. Unlike Chartwell, buying groups do not monitor the prices actually charged against the negotiated prices by the office supply vendor.
