At H. D. Smith, we are constantly striving to find ways to save you time. One way we have achieved this is by incorporating bar code scanning in OrderBase III to streamline the ordering process. Utilizing an MSI device or scanning wand automates the time consuming process of keying items. By scanning the bar codes (UPC/NDC codes) on products or shelf labels to create an order, you will spend less time keying your orders, leaving you more time to fill your customers’ needs.

H. D. Smith produces the DrugSmith, a monthly customer publication. This informational bulletin keeps our customers up-to-date on the latest product introductions, recalls, programs and services.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of business information between organizations using structured, industry standard formats. Specifically, H. D. Smith utilizes the latest industry standard ANSI X.12 formats including the 810, 820, 832, 850, and 855 transaction sets, plus more.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) provides customers an easy and convenient way to transfer funds to H. D. Smith. EFT is secure, efficient and less expensive than paper check payments, allowing customers a convenient and secure method for sending payment.

Streamline your receiving process and get your product on the shelf faster utilizing the H. D. Smith e-receiving service. The e-receiving process automates the tedious process of checking off each item on the invoice as you pull it from the tote. Also available in OrderBase III is the ability to utilize license plate technology. Rather than scanning each item received in an order, you can scan the license plate to receive all items within that tote.

H. D. Smith carries a complete line of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter items and home healthcare products. Due to the large quantity of stocked items, H. D. Smith is able to maintain at least a 98% adjusted fill rate across all scopes of product lines.

At H. D. Smith, we continually monitor inventory levels at all distribution centers. Due to unanticipated and unscheduled requests, there are times that the designated distribution center does not carry a specific SKU. When that occurs, H. D. Smith provides an automatic transfer so the item can be shipped from another H. D. Smith distribution center.
