Securing The Supply Chain

Our procurement and logistics experts have developed an infrastructure designed to secure the supply chain even during turbulent times.

International distribution network
HSM’s global distribution programs help customers improve productivity, reduce costs and retain the flexibility to customize shipping and product solutions for individual markets and properties. Our account management teams work with property operators to monitor and support product inventory, stock shortages, potential outages and more.

Commodity programs to keep sourcing close
Our regional commodity programs make it easier to secure the best products at the best prices by negotiating directly with suppliers in metro areas around the globe. And our national distribution programs help us lower costs across entire regions or categories by leveraging our purchase volume to reduce base product costs for partnering properties.

Strategic supplier partnerships
HSM suppliers are selected based on product quality, cost, delivery, sustainability, leadership and innovation. We also take a category approach, identifying suppliers by region to minimize cost and maximize efficiency.
