What can Atlantic Purchasing Services do for Your Corporation or Government Entity?
Services Offered: Our areas of Expertise Include: Smaller manufacturers feel that they are at the mercy of their vendors. As such, they give in too easily to price increases, accept late deliveries and suffer inconveniences. And all because they think they don’t have the power or clout to negotiate. Atlantic Purchasing Services will negotiate for you and find you suppliers that are grateful for the extra business, no matter how small. There are also other costs such indirect spend (for example, office supplies), telecommunications expenses, freight costs and indirect material costs. APS will look at every area of spend in your organization and help you spend LESS. We can even assist your design team by designing to cost and function without sacrificing quality. It is surprising how many companies still pay their invoices without reviewing and understanding all of the fine print. Things like extra surcharges for freight, handling, material surcharges (which fluctuate with market prices) and other minor fees are ways that some suppliers "pad the bill". The majority of Accounts Payable Departments do not have time to audit or properly analyze these invoices. As a result, these companies end up paying more than they should. Atlantic Purchasing Services can save you money. Let us audit your invoices by analyzing them in detail for you. Program / Project Management Our Purchasing team has managed complex projects -- from the idea stage to end of life (EOL) while working closely with mechanical and electrical engineers. We emphasize controlling and keeping costs in line with budgets and timing. This is important for driving material costs down. We, at Atlantic Purchasing Services, offer this expertise. Having worked for some of the best in the industry (JCI and Magna), we have over 10 years of experience sourcing new suppliers in low cost countries (mostly Asia). We also have very strong skills in managing entire programs from start to finish. We can jump into any program and assist you to complete your program, on-time and within budget. Process Improvement One of our team membersat Atlantic Purchasing Services, has spent many years in Germany improving manufacturing processes -- to optimize material flow from the supplier right through to finished goods.

Our hands-on, Process Improvement expertise will help you to realize optimum results. It will improve the efficiency of your current purchasing, inventory procedures and manufacturing processes -- in order to maximize your margins and improve your competitive advantage in the marketplace. IT / MRP Implementation Having been instrumental in implementing SAP at Johnson Controls Inc., we, at Atlantic Purchasing Services know that upgrading your MRP system can be fraught with many pitfalls, setbacks and out-of-control costs. If you are in the process of implementing a new MRP system and wouldn't mind a "take charge" leader or even need a couple of extra people familiar with the implementation of your MRP system, Atlantic Purchasing Services can help.
Supply Chain Consulting When organizations buy from suppliers, companies tend to assume they are always getting the best price. They also think they are being updated on new technologies which are actually lowering costs. Not so. In fact, Atlantic Purchasing Services has discovered that many suppliers hold back information about new technologies in order to maximize their own profits -- at the expense of the buyer. By taking a global approach and looking at the "forest AND the trees", we can suggest new methods, implement new policies and procedures, and even suggest new technologies that can make significant improvements to your entire organization. This will result in better cash flow and improved profits. Remember, we don't get paid unless we can save you money. Atlantic Purchasing Services specializes in saving organizations money. Our team of highly experienced corporate executives can generate significant cost-savings for you! Whether direct spend, indirect spend, excess inventory, insufficient contracts, insufficient staff training, help implementing a new MRP system or whatever your needs, we help companies improve their bottom line.
