- The purchasing audit
- The productivity audit

The supplier states that there is no charge for auditing a business' current methods or future advice and assistance in helping lower coststhey seek agreement for company to partner with them as a personal service provider.
The supplier will install a simple management system to suit a company's requirements. They work with a company to select the right products, as well as provide an operating procedure and user training for the products and the system. In addition, the supplier's management system (single user or networked) provides a company with a choice of product file set up and reports to ensure 'on the spot' access to management information on stock values, cost center expenditure, budget variances, and type of products purchased by user departments. The supplier also demonstrates how a firm's expenditure compares with 'best practice' of peer groups and other industry benchmarks.
