Separate orders seem flexible, but the hidden cost is the time you spend on them. In this article we do the maths.
The costs you don’t see on the invoice
A box of toilet paper looks cheap. But add up who checks the stock, who places the order, who accepts the delivery, who refills the dispensers and who deals with a broken pump, and it becomes a recurring task that easily takes a few hours per month. Time that a facilities manager or office manager cannot spend on other things.
Price fluctuations and emergency orders
With separate orders, your costs vary from month to month. Run out earlier than expected and you place an emergency order, often at a higher price and with extra delivery costs. Order too much and it takes up storage space.
One fixed fee instead
With a subscription you pay one fixed fee per employee per four weeks. Products, dispensers, delivery, maintenance and replacement are all included. Nobody in your organisation has to count, order or chase anything anymore. You know at the start of the year exactly what washroom hygiene costs.
