Why should co-ops use the Co-op Cost Cutters Program?

Co-ops working together means the combined buying power of all co-ops increases by getting better and favourable pricing based on volume sales.  Based on Principle 6, Co-operation Among Co-operatives, the program unites over 450 co-ops across Ontario. The more you use the program, the greater our collective buying power is for co-op discounts.

What are the benefits of using Co-op Cost Cutters Suppliers?

SAVING TIME & EFFORT

Your co-op does not need to research services and pricing. The companies that are part of the cost-cutter program are researched by the Co-op Cost Cutter Co-ordinator. They undergo stringent testing and are constantly being reviewed to ensure that they continue to provide quality service to members. Companies that don’t provide good service are withdrawn from the program.

BACKING OF THE HOUSING CO-OP SECTOR

If your co-op is not satisfied with the service received, the federation will intervene at your co-op’s request to get the problem solved. Suppliers are chosen based on their reputation, their ability to serve most co-ops in the area of the program and their willingness to offer co-ops preferred pricing. Prices are regularly evaluated and are based on the total volume of business conducted by the supplier with all co-ops purchasing the product or the service.

EXPLORING NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The program continues to evolve and change, with new services being provided as the opportunities arise.

SAVING MONEY

Your co-op saves money by taking advantage of the buying power of over 450 housing co-operatives across Ontario.
