Priority One: Your Financial Return

Each component of our Total Solution has a direct impact on your facility’s financial performance

Commissary revenue and profits are important, but they have no direct impact on reducing costs and improving the overall performance of your facility. Twenty nine years of experience tells us that simply putting a price to a commodity fails to optimize the benefits that technology and sound commissary management bring to your operation.

The real bottom line is your total financial return

Designed to grow revenue, improve efficiency and reduce real costs, our Total Solution comprises trust fund accounting software, kiosks and other technology, and commissary management—components that work synergistically to deliver industry-leading financial return and efficiency to Swanson clients.

Market-based pricing

We develop commissary commission rates for our clients against a variety of considerations including, of course, our own investment requirement and profitability goals. Another important consideration in developing the commission rate reflects what we call our Market Price Philosophy. Since 100% of revenue is generated from resident commissary spending, product pricing must cover the full cost of providing our services—and still be competitive. To ensure that commissary pricing remains competitive within your facility, Swanson bases prices on an annual survey of local and regional convenience store pricing. As a result, pricing is never out of line to your residents, and will positively affect buying decisions as they place orders.

A promise from Swanson that you can take to the bank

The full measure of revenue increases and cost savings generated from our solutions depend on many variables, some outside of our control. Implementing our solutions will result in a substantial increase in your facility’s performance.

We make a major initial investment in our partnerships

We strongly believe that our relationship with you will be a win-win partnership that could endure well beyond the initial term of our agreement. That’s one reason we’re willing to make a substantial, upfront investment in the software and hardware systems necessary to put your facility on a fast-track to optimal performance.
