Case Study: Largest Farm Supply Retail and Service Corporation achieves telecom cost savings with Bluewave Technology Group

Farm Supply Retailer Migrates Telecom Services to Single Provider

Largest Farm Supply Retail and Service Corporation, one of the largest farm supply retail and service cooperatives in the United States, needed help migrating a large number of telecom services to a single vendor across more than 1,200 retail outlets in 21 states. The company turned to Bluewave Technology Group for technology evaluation, strategic sourcing, and expense management support to analyze its existing telecom inventory and identify opportunities to consolidate billing and reduce waste.

Bluewave Technology Group performed a detailed review of current bills and site-by-site line usage to determine which services and features could be optimized or eliminated, including non-published lines, Caller ID, and Call Block. Bluewave then helped convert the lines to a more cost-effective carrier and consolidate invoices, eliminating paper billing fees. The effort removed unused features, saving $700 per month, uncovered another $1,000 per month in potential savings, and is expected to deliver more than $20,000 in annual savings while simplifying monthly expense management.
