Preferred supplier
The hss preferred supplier model reduces your daily interaction to a single supplier. We select preferred suppliers based on feedback from your organization‘s purchasing activity. Using your current suppliers or ones we recommend, hss leverages commodities for the best price and service.

Supply-base active material consignment
Are you currently carrying a large volume of indirect material on your books? Using the preferred supplier model, hss negotiates the purchase of your actively turning material. Major suppliers now carry your “active” supplies and you’re relieved from managing and monitoring indirect material.

E-commerce and electronic (Web-based) catalog
hss provides software – a live Web-based catalog much like that found on Internet shopping outlets – that works in place of or in conjunction with your own indirect management software. Search for the part you need, get price quotes fast, check inventory levels, place rush orders, share spare parts access across multiple client locations, and use checkbook accounting tools.

Live-checkbook accounting
The hss software set includes a live-checkbook accounting system. Each transaction from crib disbursement to spot buy is displayed in line-item detail. Understand at a glance where your daily spend is in relation to your established budget. Monitor the performance of a department or of an entire organization.

On-site hss customer service representatives
Always-available technical support personnel assist your employees with the details of indirect materials procurement and management.

Expert hss product support
Highly-trained technicians offer specific product support.

Complete metrics development
Improvement comes when performance is measured. hss works with your leadership to develop comprehensive metrics that measure what’s important to your bottom line – material spend, cost-per-piece, daily spend-to-budget performance, or overall cost savings.

Full financial integration
Generate bottom-line improvements in spend and manufacturing performance. hss provides comprehensive, detailed month-end reports – fully aligned with your financial reporting system and general ledger balance – that help you track spending to individuals and departments while addressing spend performance on the floor level.

Crib supervision
hss makes cost-saving recommendations on how best to manage the labor associated with maintaining your crib. As needed, out experts can replace or support your employees in shipping, receiving and other critical crib activities.

On-site/Off-site material centralization
Fragmented inventory is impossible to properly manage. On-site or off-site, hss establishes a distribution network that brings your entire inventory together. Reduce your inventory with communization. Your material is easier to manage, readily available, and your overhead and burden are lessened.

PFEP (Plan for Every Part)
Do you currently establish inventory at your location on perceived need? With hss PFEP, inventory is based on the inter-related variables of equipment, application, criticality, lead-time to supply, and supplier stocking locations. Phases of a part’s life cycle – and how the part is tied to equipment – are electronically recorded. You get the right part at the right time and inventory is cycled down to a minimum.
