Now You're Working the Numbers - Manage an Effective Supply Program

Manage an Effective Supply Program

An order is just an order until you know exactly who's ordering what, when and for how much.

Maintaining control over your procurement process means having a full view of every aspect of your program. OfficeMax pioneered performance dashboards in the office supplies' category for comprehensive usage and trending analysis.

Our Customer Insight Reports deliver big advantages, such as the ability to monitor and track how end-users are ordering—by phone, fax or online. With this information, you can encourage use of the lowest cost option, freeing employees to concentrate on core business activities.

In the area of planning and forecasting, we offer the ProForma Calculator, which lets us identify lower cost options for you and compare your spending levels against industry benchmarks.

Contact your OfficeMax sales representative for more information about Consumer Insight Reports and the ProForma Calculator.

Our PIN technology, which powers all of our tracking and reporting capabilities, allows us to greet everyone in your company by name and assign each of your employees their own password. We start each conversation knowing your company's profile and your contract price. This allows us to serve you better. PIN shortens the time your staff spends on the phone, improving efficiency.
