HCI Primary Services
Financing
|
HCI’s assistance
with securing export and working capital financing can be
very valuable. We offer over 45 options for creative financing,
both foreign and domestic. |
|
HCI can also lead you to valuable
government export incentive programs |
|
Our overseas network gives HCI
the ability to secure sources of foreign financing with
little collateral and often with more favorable terms than
are commonly available domestically in the U.S. |
Collections and Disputes
|
One of the biggest
headaches in export can be collections—but it’s a problem
you can avoid by partnering with HCI. |
|
Our expertise starts with contracts
and documentation, which are written for foreign markets,
and designed to withstand the tests of foreign courts. Our
documentation and logistics systems provide clear, unambiguous
records of every transaction, designed to pre-empt the hassles
of foreign disputes. |
|
In the event that foreign disputes
do occur, HCI has the know-how and the networks to help
solve them quickly and amicably. |
|
We offer a full range of collection
strategies ranging from winning judgments in foreign courts,
overcoming anti-U.S. bias, working through embassy and foreign
ministry contacts, and the U.S. court system. |
Global Sourcing
HCI offers over 33 years of in-global sourcing in Latin America,
the Pacific Rim, Western Europe and the Middle East, dealing with
over 750 producers, manufacturers and service providers globally,
as well as more than 350 foreign agents and distributors.
Through our network of thousands of global contacts we are sure
to find a winning solution for your global sourcing needs.
Supply Chain Optimization
Handling your supply chain and logistics challenges is one of
the capabilities that sets HCI’s team apart from other trade experts.
Our experience in running our own operations, as well as those
of our clients, translates into increased profits and decreased
headaches throughout the system.
Success Story:
In serving Aramco (the world’s largest oil company), Henderson Chemicals (known as HCI) developed and implemented systems of checks and controls that largely compensated for human error and substantially increased reliability. The resulting order return rate was below .007%, and on time deliveries were better than 95% versus the 60% industry norm. |
Let HCI’s expertise work for you in the following areas:
|
Cost Cutting and Supply
Chain Streamlining - Competing in today’s global
markets means streamlining your international supply chain.
|
|
|
HCI will leverage the power
of supply chain analytical tools, potentially cutting costs
by 10%-25% and increasing gross margin by 30% to 100%. Let
us tell you how. |
|
|
At HCI, cost cutting is not purely an academic
exercise but a practical application. |
|
Cargo Management
includes how you package, warehouse and ship your export
products, as well as generating documentation and paperwork
to track them. |
|
|
HCI’s logistics systems help you navigate
the many available shipping options to maximize timely deliveries
and minimize theft, loss and breakage. |
|
Minimizing Tariff Barriers
is often the difference between profit and loss in exporting.
HCI selects the best points of entry and the most effective
ways to ship and document a product to maximize your profits. |
|
International Documentation
can be an expensive nuisance for clients not familiar with
exporting. Our Export Launch Program includes all the necessary
marketing, legal and operational documents needed for your
venture. Our clients routinely realize a considerable savings
in legal fees by using HCI’s documentation. |
|
Simplification
- HCI creates and simplifies all the up-to-date shipping
and logistics documentation required, digitally and in hard-copy. |
|
|
We systematically eliminate potential problem
sources, then create simplified shipping checklists and
procedures for your internal use. |
|
Crisis and Risk Management
- HCI is always on call to help you deal with theft, disturbances,
storms and other logistics and operational problems. |
HCI developed some of the first
"door=to-door" logistics systems in Peru and Mexico,
saving clients both significant costs and transit time,
and virtually eliminating theft and handling damage. |
|
|
We’ve helped many customers reduce costs
and overhead without affecting performance. Let HCI apply
this same level of initiative and problem solving ability
to your export challenges |
