Many schools view their operations as a business, with a limited source of funds available to them through annual school fees. Additional capital is usually generated through fundraising events and other activities to meet any shortfall. Our research has shown that many schools administrators spend a considerable amount of time sourcing products and negotiating with suppliers, when purchasing stationery and other commodities. Due to the diverse range of products that they buy and the small quantities involved, it is difficult for them to negotiate better prices and terms for purchases that they make on behalf of their school. This is where the SchoolSavers concept can significantly assist in reducing the annual administration and purchasing costs at each school.

Using the Internet, SchoolSavers can allow each school to purchase the products that they require and have them delivered at designated agreed times. SchoolSavers can aggregate the orders received through the system from the different schools, enabling us to negotiate better prices with suppliers on bulk purchases to our distribution centre. This will result in SchoolSavers being able to offer better prices to schools on many consumable items, whilst significantly reducing the school’s administrational paperwork, as a result of purchasing from a single source.

SchoolSavers is a comprehensive cost-effective easy-to-use On-line Ordering and Administration solution for schools to purchase regular commonly used products, from a single source. Existing users of the system will continue to benefit as more schools sign up to use the system.
