• Always use a list of supplies when purchasing at a store, through an office supply catalog , or online. Your office supply list will remind you of what you need to buy and keep you from purchasing what you don't need. Use VIP Organizer software to create your list of office supply products.
• Have only one person in charge of purchasing office supplies, because in such a way you can avoid waste of money and place large orders with discounts. Otherwise, when several employees are responsible for office supplying, they can buy the same supplies and place orders which are inconsistent with your budget and office supply management needs.
