AAA 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.
