Why Softmart - Supply Chain Optimization

What is Supply Chain Optimization?

How you buy is as important as what you buy – Using multiple sources yields only a fraction of the cost savings than in times past. An exceptional supply chain requires actionable business intelligence available on demand, efficiencies that reduce operational expenses, and a partner that understands cost containment and optimization strategies.

Softmart as the source – Softmart offers all things IT – software, hardware, and services. More importantly, we add value to the supply chain itself to create efficiencies, ensure unfettered access to vital business intelligence, and drive cost savings on both what is bought, and how it’s bought.

What is the value?

• Actionable Business Intelligence – Gain unmatched visibility into your spend through our global reporting engine. We can serve up data to meet exact specifications, and help analyze it to find new ways to save.
  
  
• Vendor Consolidation – Softmart deals with thousands of publishers and manufacturers, and the list grows daily. Allow us to reduce the administrative burden of setting up new vendors, reducing costs and speeding up delivery.
  
  
• Operational Efficiencies – Elimination of hardware/software PO splits, single source of accountability, global support, consistent pricing through all mediums, standards enforcement – once we analyze the procurement infrastructure, we have a robust toolset to enhance operational efficiency in many areas.
  
  
• Sustained Cost Containment – An exceptional supply chain will yield more cost savings over time than a competitive bid strategy – provided you have the right partner.

• Tenured Sales and Support Team – Softmart has been in business for 25 years – our account teams and support personnel are all industry veterans. Even our customer service has an average tenure of nine years. When it comes to supply chain optimization strategy and execution, experience is everything.
