Smith PPV Plus Process
Dedicated PPV Specialists
Work with market experts
When you join Smith’s PPV Plus Program, you’re assigned a dedicated PPV Specialist who will work with you to maximize
your savings. Our PPV Specialists are experienced in monitoring market changes and shifts in price that can impact your
bottom line. Offering personal service and market intelligence, Smith PPV Specialists keep you informed throughout the PPV
Plus Process.
PartMatch Tool
Access global cost savings opportunities
The first step in PPV Plus is an evaluation of your demand list. Once we receive your demand list, your PPV Specialist will up-
load it into PartMatch, our in-house PPV Tool. PartMatch automatically compares the items on your list to our vast database
of electronic components available on the worldwide open market and captures data on market pricing and demand. When
PartMatch identifies a purchase price less than your standard cost, a match is detected. Here’s an overview of the process:
• Include part numbers,
quantities and standard price
• Send demand list to your
dedicated PPV specialist
• The resulting PPV list is
forwarded to you within hours
• Whenever a new cost saving
opportunity is identified by our
system, you will be contacted
by your PPV specialist
• Once your list is received, it
gets uploaded into our in-house
PPV tool
• Part numbers, quantities and
target prices are matched with
immediately available product
