10 Ways to Reduce Office Expenses - InteGrand

Running an office is expensive. There’s no way around that. If you are a start-up company you are probably especially aware of the high costs of office overhead, and if you are a larger company these costs can seem never-ending and impossible to cut down on. However, there are ways to cut down on expenses that you may not realize! Here are some easy ways you can cut costs in your office:

1. Save energy. Energy and money are closely related. The less you use, the less you have to pay for, and the easier you are being on the environment as well. Some ways you can save energy include powering down computers at night. Computers generate heat and consume a lot of energy. Have a power strip? Turn that off too, along with lights in any rooms that aren’t being used, and all of the office lights at the end of the day. Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is a great resource for more details on how to go green and the benefits of doing so!

 

2. Use cost-aware businesses when you outsource supplies. Integrand’s Cooper System guarantees the essentialist approach that reduces costs for your company while also getting your products delivered on time. Cost-effective programs like recycling, maintenance and repair, and consolidation of multiple vendors, orders, or deliveries ensures that you’ll be spending as little as possible and receiving the best possible outcome from your order.

 

3. Become better acquainted with concepts like expediting and workplace consolidation. Integrand understands that expediting can save you money.

4. The Grand Laser Program. Integrand’s Grand Laser Program can reduce your printing costs by as much as 25%. One of the biggest ongoing office expenses is purchasing and maintaining your printers. We can streamline and consolidate everything that goes into costs of printing: cartridge ordering, and labor and repairs on your qualifying printers. Cost-effectiveness isn’t about purchasing the least expensive product, but about finding that essential balance between affordable and long-lasting quality. It is our job to identify this balance and provide it to you via programs that are sensible, organized and created just for you.

 

5. Hold back, but then jump in. It’s extremely important to do research before you spend money on a product; yet the maintenance of an office is a worthwhile investment, because happy employees make happy clients. Don’t worry so much about spending a little bit of money on something if you’ve done sufficient research and know that your ideas or specific products are worth looking into. Consistently ask for feedback from your employees, and once again understand the idea of cost-effectiveness: it is not about spending the least amount of money, but rather about streamlining processes your needs and resources.
