| How does it work -
FMS
offers you, the member an opportunity to
reduce your
costs by joining into the
network of manufacturer and vendor programs
already negotiated. When you become a
member, all of our contracted vendors are
notified to extend the FMS
pricing to you. |
|
FREE COST
ANALYSIS -
FMS
will provide a
FREE
cost analysis for you. A representative in
your area will meet with you and obtain
copies of your invoices for a set period of
time (week(s) or month). These invoices are
then sent to our corporate office where we
do a detailed
analysis (see example above) of your purchasing
and compare the prices your were charged to
the prices you would receive as a member of
the FMS group purchasing
program. |
|
FREE
COST ANALYSIS - FMS
provides a
FREE
cost analysis to determine your potential
savings when utilizing the

savings on your purchases.
(see example above) |

receive them or they can be printed
and faxed to the other vendors.
