As a company committed to growth and innovation, we have a Research and Development department that spearheads continuous additions of cost categories to provide more value to our clients and generate more revenue to our franchisees.
This department operates under a clear mandate to ensure the following:
- Mastery or Nothing: Our goal is to become experts in any category we explore, ensuring that we offer clients the highest standard of service.
- Tool Development: The Research Department invests in tools to analyze each category effectively, ensuring we find the best results possible for our clients.
- Protecting Our Brand: Every initiative is guided by the imperative to maintain Schooley Mitchell’s reputation for integrity, quality, and trustworthiness.
Currently, our Research and Development team is evaluating the following cost categories for potential addition in the near future:
Printers and Copiers – Printers and copiers often come with hidden costs, including maintenance, ink or toner, and extended service contracts. Schooley Mitchell can help businesses identify opportunities to cut costs, optimize usage, and avoid unnecessary fees, all while ensuring reliable service and supply levels.
Medical Supplies – Medical supplies represent a significant and often variable expense for businesses in the healthcare industry. Schooley Mitchell can help organizations secure better pricing, identify overcharges, and streamline procurement processes, ultimately reducing operational expenses without compromising quality.
Alarm and Security Systems – Security is a critical yet often costly necessity for businesses. Alarm and security system contracts frequently include bundled services, unnecessary add-ons, or hidden fees. Schooley Mitchell can ensure companies pay only for what they need, while also negotiating better rates and terms with vendors.
Pest Control – Pest control services are often billed as ongoing contracts with fixed costs, making it easy to overlook opportunities for savings. Schooley Mitchell can help businesses reduce pest control expenses while maintaining the quality and frequency of the service to protect their facilities.
These categories have the potential to unlock tremendous opportunities for both our franchisees and our clients:
- For Franchisees: New categories mean increased revenue potential, more savings recommendations for clients, and the ability to forge longer client relationships.
- For Clients: Broadening our cost categories ensures we deliver more financial savings for clients, while also saving them more time by taking more work off their plates.
It is important that we continue to grow and evolve as the business world around us changes, and our clients face more complexity across the many expenses they need to operate effectively. Our Research and Development department ensures that we continue to evaluate new opportunities, master them and build the tools to analyze them effectively – all to the benefit of our franchisees and their clients.
