Buying in volume saves taxpayers money
Having a Distribution Center provides significant cost savings to the PWC schools and facilities by buying supplies in bulk quantities at an average cost savings of at least 20% or better.
Providing seasonal supplies
The Distribution Center provides seasonal supplies such as ice melt to keep the sidewalks clean and safe in the winter for the students and staff. We also provide kitchen supplies for food service start-up orders to all the schools at the beginning of each new school year.
Providing student furniture
The Distribution Center stocks furniture that directly impacts the students. Student desks, chairs, and cafeteria tables can be delivered to a school immediately instead of having to wait 4 to 6 weeks for vendor delivery.
