While MCC is best known for reducing credit card and payment processing costs, our team also reviews other common operating expenses that often contain significant vendor markups. These may include merchant services, telecom and internet services, waste and recycling, shipping and logistics, office equipment and copier leases, uniforms and linens, facility supplies, and other contracted services frequently used by institutions.
Many members unknowingly overpay in these areas due to complex vendor pricing structures, automatic contract renewals, or bundled service agreements. MCC conducts a detailed analysis of invoices and agreements to benchmark pricing, identify excess fees, and negotiate improved terms while allowing organizations to maintain their existing vendors and service relationships whenever possible.
For community colleges and higher education institutions, this can include reviewing expenses tied to payment acceptance, campus operations, facilities management, administrative services, and vendor contracts to ensure pricing remains competitive and transparent.
MCC’s model is entirely performance-based. There are no upfront costs, retainers, or consulting fees. MCC is compensated only when savings are successfully achieved, and the fee is a percentage of the verified savings generated. If no savings are identified, there is no cost or obligation to the institution.
This structure ensures MCC’s incentives are fully aligned with the organizations we serve—we succeed only when our clients realize measurable reductions in their operating expenses.
