The decision to outsource Supply Chain Management is indeed a critical one, with ramifications throughout the network. Hence, it is very critical to choose the right partner to associate with. At H&S, we have the strengths and infrastructure to support the needs of clients across various industry verticals.
We derive our core competencies based on the following strengths:
Technical Expertise
Through the capability and know-how that H&S possesses in the field of supply chain management, we will be able to dissect through all the requirements of clients, and enabling the most optimal solution for the client. This could result in several key benefits like minimizing order fulfillment time and improving the fill-rate at the retail level. Our expertise in Supply Chain Management comes from the team’s 100+ years of accumulated experience in this practice.
Cost & Time Savings
As specialists in the area of logistics and supply chain management, H&S will be able to optimize your resources and network to minimize the cost of operation. This, in combination with the advantage gained out of addressing market needs quicker, will certainly help in improving the profitability levels of the clients’ operations. All other factors remaining the same, the average cost savings work out to about 5-10% on total Supply Chain Costs.
Capital Light Model
As 4.5PL solutions providers, H&S offers its complete infrastructure of warehouses, vehicles and technology (IT support) to clients. This enables our clients to run their outbound logistics on very low or nil capital investment, thereby significantly helping increase overall profitability.
Focus on Core Competence
This is perhaps the most significant advantage of engaging H&S. The outsourcing of the entire outbound supply chain process will enable the client to dedicate more time and energy to focus on their core areas of business, viz., Brand/Product development, Manufacturing, Sales Management etc.
Flexibility
Our uniquely designed model provides for enormous amount of flexibility of operations from a client's perspective. With our infrastructure available for ramp-up or right-sizing of operations, setting up a supply chain would be the least of the worries from the client's perspective.
Ease of Implementation
As 4.5PL solutions providers, H&S is engaged in both the design and the execution part of the supply chain network. This enables us to visualize the practical roll-out challenges at the design stage itself, thereby saving significant executional hassles. Further, at the execution stage, we ensure that the core objectives remain undiluted, thereby enabling a smooth transition.
