The problem

Flooring is an eight-figure line item bought from 40+ vendors. Invoices were keyed in by hand with little detail, so nobody could compare what each property actually paid.

How Unitbase helped

  1. 01Broke every flooring invoice into carpet, pad, install and removal, priced all-in per square yard.
  2. 02Benchmarked every purchase by vendor, product and property.
  3. 03Turned the findings into four specific levers, not a spreadsheet.

All-in per SY$15.90

Which properties can reduce carpet spend by switching to a cheaper vendor?

8 properties have neighbors buying the same carpet for $6 to $7 less per SY. $34K in the window.

If I had done this all starting at 5:30 last night I would have been here until 8pm. So it was magical to complete in about 20 minutes total!
