How It Works

Here at CostSmart, we often use the phrase "we source everything but the coffee beans". But what does that mean exactly? 

Let us break it down by using a coffee bean roaster as an example to demonstrate all the non-core products they would need to source themselves. Coffee bean bags, labels, coffee cups, marketing collateral, uniforms, signage, branded frothing pitchers, scales and tampers...just to name a few. Not only do they need to be affordably sourced, but they need to be safely stored, the stock levels managed, and then efficiently distributed to all the cafes who use the beans. CostSmart's services mean that the coffee bean supplier can focus on the coffee beans, while saving time AND money.

Who We Work With

CostSmart Streamline your product supply and logistics


CostSmart has been working with Marketing teams, Procurement and Finance Managers for over 15 years to provide cost and time efficiencies. Our services are suited to almost any organisation, across most industries.
Whilst CostSmart clients are very diverse they all share the same needs: 
  • The need to solve supply management issues for print and marketing collateral, uniforms/workwear, signage, branded merchandise, and a host of other non-core products. 
  • The need to store, kit and distribute marketing collateral to clients, offices/showrooms, or sales personnel across Australia with real-time visibility of stock on hand. They then require the allocation of expenditures to multiple cost centres. 
  • The need to understand if existing suppliers are delivering the best value and service by performing thorough and regular Cost Analysis. 



Case Studies

Case Study: Print Management & eStore Solution

The Client

  • A fast-growing Property Management business who manages one of the largest strata scheme portfolios in Australia. 
  • Our client came to us requiring Business Cards for the many different companies and group subsidiaries under their umbrella. 
  • The company has over 700 staff and 30 branch offices across 11,000 strata schemes. These include residential, commercial, resorts, and mixed-use properties.


The Challenge

Many mergers and acquisitions of partners saw the need for the company to maintain their branding and market presence under the single administration umbrella. The businesses needed a consistent and cost-effective Print Management and eStore Solution that the different companies could edit and change print requirements with variable text, while also providing structure, security and compliance to brand guidelines. Consequently, CostSmart was asked to provide Print Management and create a Customised eStore Solution that sixteen individual businesses or group subsidiaries could access.

The Solution

With 14 years in the industry, CostSmart was able to work with reputable local and off-shore suppliers to provide our client with a competitive price on business cards and ensure a quality-controlled product was produced, every time.
The editable products module, as part of our Customised eStore Solution, enabled our client to edit an existing product online before ordering. With guidance from our client, our Graphic Design Team created the business cards to have uneditable elements like the companies logo and format, and an editable space where employess could add their personal details. Once an order is placed on the eStore, the client was sent a print-ready file to be approved before production.


The Outcome

CostSmart was able to provide a collection of thirty-three different editable business card templates and online proofing capabilities for managers. The online editable artwork creation makes the entire processes simple, fast and secure. 

Case Study: Uniforms and Workwear

The Client

  • A Leader in sports turf, garden and open-space management. 
  • We assist them with a range of services including horticultural uniforms and workwear, branded products and specialised sourcing, print management, customised eStore solutions and warehousing and logistics.


The Challenge

The client required their custom-designed horticultural uniforms to be managed effectively to ensure that stocks were always available for the various teams located across the Eastern Seaboard of Australia. They needed a seamless and cost-effective way in which each staff member could receive individually labelled uniforms and also have an avenue to return the uniforms if the employee was to leave the business.

The Solution

Through a strong partnership with our suppliers and collaboration with our in-house graphic design and sales team, CostSmart helped the client organise custom-designed uniforms stocks that meet Australian standards of hi-vis capabilities as well as the heing suitable for the Australian climate.
Additionally, CostSmart manages the supply, procurement, delivery and laundry of uniform items via a fully customised eStore solution. Each cost centre manager has the ability to login to the customised eStore, select the items to be ordered and in return receive individually packed parcels labelled with the employee’s name for easy and secure distribution. Through the eStore solution, we were able to create approval stages and order limits set by upper management on individual login data.
The eStore also enables cost centre managers to log items to be returned if an employee leaves the business via our laundry service. 


The Outcome

We were able to save the client time and cut costs in procurement and administration and delivered savings exceeding 24% from their previous supply partner.
We were able to centralise and streamline the clients uniform ordering process hence freeing valuable capital and time for them to continue to grow.
