What We Do

Smith’s market intelligence and cutting-edge technology helps maximize your cost savings. Smith offers flexible programs that promise you a stable, long-term inventory supply.

Price targeting

Purchasing departments face constant pressure to get the parts needed for production within a set budget. We help you overcome the challenges of standard pricing by setting your price targets in our system.

Purchase-Price Variance (PPV) services

You specify the parts you need and the price range they must fall within, and we’ll track down components that fit the bill on the open market – below standard pricing. We pass these savings on to you.

Flexible options

Smith’s diverse cost-savings options offer benefits like excess inventory on parts you need or ongoing procurement. If your bill of materials calls for a steady stock of specific components, we’ll track your demand in real time and find and deliver them – within your target price range.

Smith’s comprehensive system for part matching helps identify favorable purchase price variance on your part requirements.
