Chesterfield Community Health Care Trust processed 1100 of our invoices in 1999. By switching to using the Purchasing card, they saved £30 per invoice - £33,000.          Another customer of ours calculated that the cost of placing an order for low-value goods was £25 per order. They placed 4,950 of these types of orders in a year. By placing these orders with companies who use the Purchasing Card, they saved virtually all of the £25 purchasing costs (£123,750.)            Interestingly, the total value of these 4,950 orders represented only 0.5 % of the companies total spend.        This demonstrates where the real saving are made with products like office supplies - the purchase/invoice process.          If you would like to know more about purchasing card implementation please phone Ashley Walker on 0114 243 3181. He has many years experience in this field and regularly speaks to companies on behalf of the bank.
