Consider
this: As a supplier, you have multiple B2B customers, each using a different
procurement system for purchasing. This can be a tricky situation. If all
customers are using the same procurement system – say Ariba, it becomes much
easier to setup PunchOut catalog for all customers. However, when every
customer is using a different procurement system, does it mean you have to
setup a separate PunchOut connection? Absolutely not if you are using adaptable
PunchOut catalog technology.
Irrespective
of the type of procurement system your customer is using, you really don’t have
to provide a different PunchOut catalog. So even if multiple customers are using multiple
procurement systems, you still have to create just one ‘Master PunchOut Catalog
that can be integrated with any procurement system. Moreover, each customer
will have access to his unique contract items and pricing only.
Adaptable
PunchOut catalog technology eliminates the need to create a separate PunchOut catalog
from scratch for a different procurement system. Consider this: You have 7
customers that are using Ariba, PeopleSoft, SAP, JD Edwards, Oracle, Coupa and
Sciquest respectively. Now to connect these customers via their procurement
system does not mean you have to create 7 different PunchOut catalogs. You have
to create just one catalog which can be connected to dozens of procurement
systems in a unique way.
Moreover, each customer gets access to his own
PunchOut catalog, which is unique in terms of product content. Non-contract
products and pricing are not visible to the customer. So with this technology,
with just one Master catalog, you can quickly create customized PunchOut catalog solution on the
fly for that customer. The technology is adaptable and offers multiple platform
connectivity. You can quickly implement PunchOut Catalog in days, no matter
what procurement system your customers are using. No spending weeks to create
custom catalogs.
