What We Do

Smith’s supplier-consolidation services lower overhead costs in the procurement process.

Cost Savings

Smith’s systematic supplier consolidation allows you to increase the efficiency of the buying process, lowering your total cost of acquisition. By reducing your number of suppliers, you can reduce your transactional costs and see significant savings.

Improved Global Supply Chain

Centralizing your noncritical purchases through Smith alleviates your purchasing pressures without compromising product quality or availability. Smith can give you access to hundreds of new suppliers to support your noncritical purchases, with qualified suppliers of your choice or through our global supplier network.

Time and Resource Savings

It can take hours (if not longer) to set up new suppliers. We can help reduce this time sink and optimize your resources by eliminating the ramp-up time for noncritical supplier management. Centralizing select purchases through Smith saves time and money and keeps you moving with the products you need.

Onsite and Offsite Support

Smith will assign a dedicated buyer or team of buyers to manage all of your purchases. Maximize your partnership with Smith with optional onsite support at your facility, and let Smith act as an extension of your existing purchasing team.

Teamwork
Smith’s supplier-consolidation services create new operational efficiencies by reducing the number of suppliers needed for noncritical or one-off purchases.
