Invest in Your Most
Important Asset

The purchasing department controls your most important asset: inventory. Nothing else matters if there is no inventory.

Why is the purchasing team the last to get a new solution?

Clunky, confusing systems and in-house solutions won’t cut it. Today’s purchasing teams must know true demand for every product and ensure inventory is replenished on time.

Know more with HIMPACT®

Buyers need a powerful purchasing system. When buyers know more, they become more valuable to their team and company.

The HIMPACT® purchasing system empowers buyers to know true demand, get daily forecasts for every product, and replenish inventory with ease.

Testimonials

After a few weeks with HIMPACT, our customer service levels began to rise. We were soon hitting our goal. In just a short time, customer service levels ran 1-2 percentage points above our goal and have stayed consistently at or above our goal ever since.format_quote
Jeremy Isenberg
President, Chex Finer Foods
The HIMPACT solution and the Herlitz team really impressed us. Not only was their expediency with loading our data impressive, but also their openness to listen to our requirements and adapt their solution, even while in the demo phase. These and other considerations were essential to our decision. Another key point was that HIMPACT has a full PO Management module; whereas other solutions do not.format_quote

I worked on quite a few truck split vendors yesterday. I had one vendor consisted of 4 PO’s. All went well with no issues. I must say, this is my favorite feature!format_quote
Patricia Jensen
Buyer, Horizon Beverage
During our reference call phase, we discovered two different references were already using features that we requested. We were pleased to learn the popular features were already added to the base system for all customers. Carl impressed us with how quickly his team was able to implement system enhancements.format_quote
Lori Rutland
Corporate Project Director, Associated Grocers, Inc.
Since we started buying on HIMPACT, inventory has dropped by 30 percent and fill rates have increased by 6 points. HIMPACT recommended better brackets that gave us more competitive pricing. Overall, our costs are lower and business is up 10 percent.format_quote
José Génere
President, Génere Foods
When rolling out HIMPACT, we started with purchasing from smaller vendors first. We were delighted to see higher customer fill rates and reduced inventories. This trend continued as we eventually rolled out our largest vendors.format_quote
Phylicia Proulx
Director Of Purchasing, Pet Food Experts
Our current system (E3 TRIM) was a great workhorse, but we needed better tools to compete in today’s marketplace ... Their new solution, HIMPACT, gives us the tools to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations.format_quote
Michael J. Epstein
COO, Horizon Beverage
As everyone has discovered through the trials and tribulations of a global pandemic, independent retailers, although smaller in size and scope, have been tremendously responsive to the needs of their customers in the marketplace. Our partnership with Herlitz has been correspondingly similar: Herlitz has been very responsive and attentive to the needs of Associated Grocers, Inc. in our HIMPACT implementation project. We fully expect that this level of service will continue after we’ve gone live; just as our independent retailers will continue to excel at customer service post-pandemic.format_quote
Carl D Marks
Chief Administrative Officer, Associated Grocers, Inc.
HIMPACT includes many of the standard functions of our existing purchasing system but also offers a more robust set of features specific to perishable purchasing. While these features are exciting, it would be a moot point if our current IT infrastructure was not able to support the software. With HIMPACT, we expect integration to be swift and require very little internal IT intervention. We are confident that the features available to our fresh procurement team will be a considerable asset in the areas of inventory and margin management, freeing up time for our procurement team to laser focus on category management.format_quote
