E-Procurement

RS E-Procurement

First, a quick terminology lesson. PunchOut™/Roundtrip is the online communication between a supplier’s online store – in this case, RS – and your eProcurement system. The term ‘punch out’ comes from exiting, or ‘punching out’, of your website and into a supplier’s site to make your purchase.

So if you want our online catalogue as part of your eProcurement system, all we have to do is integrate PunchOut™/RoundTrip into your system. For us, it’s easy. This gives your useRS access to everything we offer online, 500.000 products, stock availability and latest pricing, plus daily product updates, all in real time.

While PunchOut™/RoundTrip is the most popular option; you could instead choose to use high quality, static content files from our catalogue instead. This is like having a paper catalogue on your computer. For example, you’ll have colour photos and detailed product information, but you won’t have information in real time, such as product availability, latest pricing and daily updates.

Whether ordering in real time, or using the content version, your nominated useRS can purchase securely. And because RS eProcurement returns all purchasing information to your computer, you reduce errors, as you won’t have to duplicate tasks by manually re-keying anything.

We’ve helped countless blue chip businesses cut their transaction costs and we can do the same for you.
