02Sourcing, procurement & trade

Triple S Business Hub

One vendor between you and a thousand industrial suppliers.

01The name

One vendor between you and a thousand industrial suppliers.

Smart: A techno-commercially trained team from diverse backgrounds.
Service: Response time the company holds out as among the best in its industry.
Solution: Fewer vendors to manage, and lower purchasing and administration cost.

Triple S Business Hub provides procurement and distribution solutions for industrial and commercial spare parts, consumables, equipment and services. Its focus is business-to-business: mechanical, electrical and instrumentation products, safety equipment, chemicals and related industrial supply.

Offices in Dhaka, Guangzhou and California let the business serve South Asian, North American and international customers from within their own time zones — and put buyers close to the manufacturing base they are sourcing from.

The name is deliberate. Triple S stands for Smart, Service and Solution, on a foundation the company defines as commitment, communication, response time, reliability and customer retention. For a buyer, the practical effect is fewer vendors to manage and lower purchasing and administration cost.

02Trade

Goods move both ways.

Ten categories, and each one is its own trade — different buyers, different documentation, and in the case of the commodities a published specification you can contract against. Every line below opens the page for it.

Import

Sourced globally, qualified against a written specification, and delivered against a local requirement.

Export

Bangladeshi production placed into international markets, with the certification each destination asks for.

Government bids & tenders

Supplied as a Government A-Class contractor.

03Sourcing

What happens to an enquiry.

An incomplete enquiry is still worth sending — identifying the part is part of the job. Open any step to see who picks it up.

01Send the requirement
Part numbers, specifications, or a description of what the plant needs. An incomplete enquiry is still worth sending — identifying the part is part of the job.
02Technical evaluation
The process team reads the enquiry and confirms exactly what is being asked for before anyone goes looking for it.
03Supplier identification
Procurement finds and registers suppliers globally, with the Guangzhou office standing in the manufacturing base when the source is Chinese.
04Quotation
Priced landed, so what you compare is the delivered cost rather than an ex-works figure with the freight left out.
05Order and inspection
Placed, followed up, and checked before it ships.
06Delivery and documentation
Shipped and cleared, with the paperwork a tender or an audit will later ask for.

04Reach

Three offices, so a buyer is never sourcing blind.

Dhaka takes the requirement, Guangzhou stands in the manufacturing base it is sourced from, and California covers the North American market. The company states this is what lets it serve South Asian, North American and international customers effectively.
