Business Supplies & Interiors is the leading independently owned business products supplier in
Northern California. We have become the leader by providing companies with the most
cost effective solutions for reducing their overall supply related costs, while providing
them with the best service in the industry.
SUCCESS STORY
We represent one of those inspiring
American success stories. The company was started by Steve Danziger in 1980 when he
was only 24, using his life savings of $10,000. Today, the company is one of the
fastest growing companies in Northern California, having made the San Francisco Business
Times' Hall of Fame list of the top 150 fastest growing companies for four years
straight and "Inc Magazine's" list of the top 150 Fastest
Growing Inner-City Privately Held Companies 3 times.
INDUSTRY EVOLUTION
The office supply industry has gone
through a lot of change over the past 20 years. Once, the industry was dominated by
small, local office supply dealers who provided business customers with limited discounts
but great service. Today, the industry is dominated by a few very large companies
that provide limited service but have created the perception they offer the lowest prices.
BUSINESS
CUSTOMERS START UNDERSTANDING THEIR TRUE COSTS
However, while these large office
supply companies focused on product costs, at the expense of service, business customers
have become more and more aware of processing costs. Industry studies indicate that
office supply product cost represent less than one half of the total costs of processing
office supplies. Processing costs, including identifying an item, creating a
purchase order, finding a source, ordering the item, receiving and distributing the item,
maintaining a storeroom, processing the bills and meeting with the vendor account for over
half of the total costs of processing office supplies.
HOW DO WE DO
THE BEST JOB OF REDUCING YOUR OVERALL COSTS?
We are members of a
twelve billion
dollar buying cooperative, comprised of the leading independent office supply dealers
around the world. The office supply sales represented by this cooperative exceed the
office supply sales of all our office supply competitors. The low pricing we are
able to negotiate with manufacturers allows us to provide you with extremely competitive
overall pricing.
In addition, we believe the
service we are able to provide our business customers is profoundly superior to the
competition. Many of our competitors are focused on national accounts, ignoring the
needs of medium sized businesses, have merged together multiple operations and cultures
into one overly large warehouse, have centralized many critical operational areas to
regional or national offices, are trying to service retail, mail order and business
customers from the same warehouse and are losing focus on business customers, have
dramatically lowered their pay scales and have lost many of their valuable experienced
employees.
We. in turn, are focused on serving the needs of medium sized
business customers. We have had the same ownership since we started in 1980 and we
have all our operations and management here in Northern California, enabling us to be
responsive, flexible and to fully control quality. We have strategically positioned
ourselves to have the highest quality, experienced staff in the industry, averaging over
14 years of office supply experience. We are also committed to using the best
leading edge technology available to enhance our service and value to our customers.
Therefore, more and more business customers have come to
realize that we represent the best of all worlds, providing them with competitive pricing
and the high level of quality service so important to reducing their overall costs.
Your business makes a difference to us, which we try to demonstrate to you every day in
the form of superior service. Please call to have one of our Account Executives meet
with you to review your needs and prepare a presentation on how we can help reduce both
your product and processing costs.
