OpenWorks Partners with Staples to Streamline Operations for Franchise-Owner Service Providers

OpenWorks, a leading facilities services and management company, is thrilled to announce an innovative partnership with Staples that will revolutionize the way its franchise owners and service providers operate. By combining the robust capabilities of Staples and OpenWorks’ commitment to delivering exceptional service, this partnership is poised to bring unparalleled convenience, sustainability, and efficiency to OpenWorks franchisees across the nation.

A Partnership Focused on Simplicity and Efficiency

This collaboration provides OpenWorks franchise owners with access to Staples’ comprehensive one-stop-shop solution. From janitorial supplies and office essentials to technology tools, franchise owners will now have everything they need in a single platform, simplifying their day-to-day operations. Staples offers next-day delivery on 99% of products and cutting-edge resource support through its Staples Advantage online platform and app.

Michael Dunnebecke, National Account Director, Staples Facility Solutions, explains, “The last thing franchise owners need is to spend precious time juggling multiple suppliers for their business needs. With Staples, they get convenience, quality, and reliable service in one place, making it easier to focus on growing their business and serving their clients.”

Delivering Green Solutions

Supporting an ongoing dedication to sustainability across the facilities management industry, Staples has curated a range of eco-friendly products to meet green certification standards like the ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard advanced by GBAC (CIMS). These offerings ensure franchisees can utilize environmentally conscious alternatives, including green-certified chemicals, recycled paper products, and energy-efficient technology.  

Shanna Capono Gaines, Staples' Key Account Executive, Facilities shares, “Much like OpenWorks tailors services for its clients, we help franchise owners select supplies that align with their customers’ specific needs. From eco-friendly products to solutions for specialized industries like veterinary clinics, Staples ensures that each franchise owner is equipped with the right tools to succeed.”

Unlocking Exclusive Perks for Franchisees

OpenWorks franchisees will also benefit from Staples’ partnership with top industry vendors like the Betco Corporation for chemicals and TASKI for equipment. These relationships come with additional perks like on-site equipment demonstrations, guidance from vendor specialists, and rock-bottom pricing—thanks to Staples’ and OpenWorks’ National Service Alliance (NSA) membership.  

Franchisees can also explore Staples’ exclusive offering of technology solutions, including discounted laptops and accessories tailored to help streamline their operations.  

Enhancing Franchise Operations

“Staples is more than just a vendor—they’ve stepped up as a true partner. From developing tailored shopping lists to offering personalized support, they’ve allowed us to streamline processes and create consistency for franchise owners. They’ve even introduced us to new opportunities like breakroom services, ensuring we continue bringing unmatched value to both franchisees and their customers.”  Jennifer Jones, Director of Franchise Growth, OpenWorks
