AOPD Distributors are part of buying cooperatives with billions of dollars of annual purchases, insuring competitive product pricing and the broadest selection possible.  However, research shows that less than half the cost of procuring office supplies is in the cost of the products sold.  Often, "soft" costs actually exceed the cost of the products ordered.

That's why AOPD selects only quality dealers that have far better next day fill rates and return percentages than industry averages. Also, they will continually work with customers to improve operating efficiencies that reduce costs through regular business reviews.  These reviews allow our AOPD members to identify opportunities for additional savings including product adjustments, automating systems and employing new technologies.  AOPD enables their customers to reduce the "total costs" of procuring office supplies, all in an effort to guarantee maximum value from your agreement.
