Cost Savings & Operational Value

In partnership with SSFS leadership, CSG conducted a six-month invoice review to evaluate supply spending and identify opportunities to reduce costs through CSG’s national buying platform.

Key outcomes included:

Elimination of ongoing fees: CSG identified and removed recurring delivery and custodial-closet placement fees, saving the school thousands annually.
Supply cost reductions: Leveraging national purchasing volume to create immediate and measurable value.
15-30% savings across multiple supply categories.

These savings allow the school to reinvest funds directly into its mission and student-centered programs.
