| As the number one defense contractor in the nation, Lockheed Martin is always looking for qualified small business partners to be part of its supply chain. Being an 8(a) and Hubzone certified systems integrator, ASC was a good partnering candidate. But Lockheed was not only looking for small business partners but also qualified companies with dedicated and experience staff. In the months following the establishment of ASC as a Lockheed supplier, the company was able to adapt its internal quoting, order processing, and invoicing system to respond to the needs of Lockheed and its government end-users.
With quick quotes turnaround, competitive pricing, and solid order processing, the relationship between the two companies grew so much that in 2001, ASC was named one Lockheed's Small business Supplier of the year. Since then we have strived to improve the quality of our services to not only Lockheed but to all our customer base by providing such enhancements has:
-Tracking numbers on all shipments
-Quoting priority system to ensure all quotes are submitted in time
-Quote and order history to facilitate re-orders
-Increase lines of credit to allow the processing of large orders
