Streamlined Purchasing Through Cooperative Services
Batteries Plus collaborates with frameworks like E&I Cooperative Services, which aid schools in managing their procurement processes. These partnerships help streamline vendor relationships, save time, reduce costs, and ensure compliance through pre-approved contracts.
Relationships Built on Trust
According to Brian Ball, Regional Manager for the Columbus area, educational partnerships often start in one department and grow throughout the institution. "We might begin by helping a facilities manager with a lighting upgrade or sourcing hard-to-find door lock batteries," he stated. "As schools learn how quickly we can deliver, we end up supporting multiple departments. We figure it out. If we don't have it, we'll find it for you." This approach illustrates how focused service can lead to lasting relationships with schools.
Batteries Plus continues to invest in understanding and meeting the unique needs of educational institutions. The company is committed to offering tailored solutions to help schools thrive, emphasizing convenience and accessibility in their offerings.
