Challenge
For many years the ownership at Live Oaks Landscaping just looked at training as a resource for their field team and products they used. In recent years they began to wonder what other ways they could train their purchasing teams, administrative teams, and find additional ways to become more efficient and save.
The Central Difference Solution
From meetings with their Central Rep they began to learn how additional types of business decisions and training could also increase their efficiency and help them save. Central offered them solutions to help their business grow and reach the next level of success by introducing them to a program offered to Central’s Partners called Savings4Members.
Results
The management team at Live Oaks Landscaping realized they can stay ahead, by planning ahead. Instead of just spending day to day and then stressing about how they could save after money was already spent, they took a more strategic look at their business spending ahead of time. With this value-added service offered at Central they were provided with a Savings Team to ensure they were not overpaying, unlocked special rates and bottom-line savings on resources such as gas, office supplies, shipping, merchant fees, and much more. They saved over $3,100 in annual fuel costs in one year alone!

“We saved $3,100 in fuel in one year using the Shell discount through the Savings4Members program thanks to our partnership with Central. In the future we plan on utilizing this savings opportunity even further to train our team about where to slow down processes and look for savings on things we already puchase.” Owner, Live Oaks Landscaping
