Private Catalog

A private catalog is a strategic solution meant for our customers who have multiple locations and face some of the challenges associated with having a geographic spread. These challenges can include different pricing agreements at individual locations, trouble with implementing spend limits by product, and lack of visibility on spend history.

We go beyond just providing a catalog solution with better pricing; we are an extension of your purchasing team. Some of the features and benefits of having your own private catalog include:

Our solution is a multi-step process that ultimately provides your organization with a single fully customize catalog system. This is set up to meet your company’s specific requirements, allowing you to achieve your organization’s strategic objectives.

• Advanced Analytics – View detailed spend analysis by category, manufacturer, location, ship to, individuals, etc.
• Controls - Implement spend limits and approval flow for each location/dept, provide approved list of products per location with approved pricing.
• Spend Automation and Analysis - Through ERP integration we can set orders to auto-process, provide inventory reduction recommendations, and use our in house algorithms to optimize inventory levels.
• Cost Reduction - Use our engineering and procurement services to identify cost reduction opportunities through price reduction, performance improvement, reduced wastages, and reduced failures.
