  • Maximized piece price savings with access to over 6,000 local, regional, and national suppliers with leveraged and negotiated pricing;
  • A hosted punchout catalog offering with access to more than 2.5 million items, built-in workflow approval processes, and direct integrations with PA member ERP systems in standard formats;

  • Expanded category offerings that covers chemicals, gases, welding supplies, facilities and repair services, OEM parts, capex sourcing and much more;
  • Access to Mexico and European markets – DSSI has customer and supplier relationships in Mexico and 14 European countries with punchout and ERP integration capabilities in multiple languages, as well as dedicated teams stationed in Mexico and Slovakia.

With our combined resources and capabilities, we can provide a curated, custom solution for the entire spectrum of our valued members.

DSSI tackles the challenge of recurring unmanaged spend that falls between our GPO business for your preferred vendors/strategic spend, and Amicus, designed for rapid sourcing and spot buys. With DSSI, we now have a complete solution to address the full scope of your indirect goods and related services.
