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
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

Director Of Purchasing, Pet Food Experts
Carl Herlitz, his team, and their solution showed that they not only understand the grocery industry, but also that they are eager to listen to our needs and deliver a service that empowers us to overcome our unique challenges.format_quote
Bill Burke
Director of Information Management, 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
Ann Visser-Depp
Director of Fresh Merchandising, Associated Grocers of New England
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
With HIMPACT installed, our store’s customer service went from 78 percent to over 95 percent with lower levels of inventory. We are buying smarter and making our customer’s experience even better.format_quote

General Manager, Downtown Wine & Spirits
I’m obsessed with himpact. I’ve been working on wine set up, placing orders, and playing around in all the modules. I can’t imagine ever going back to E3.format_quote
Marissa Gregori
Purchasing Manager, Lipman Brothers, LLC
The Herlitz team demonstrated their value during the initial phase of the pandemic in 2020. Our team of buyers was only about halfway through training when the crisis arose, causing us to put the training on hold while we focused on our customers. The Herlitz team supported us the whole time.format_quote
Scott O’Brien
Director of Grocery Systems, Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Co., Inc.
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.
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
