Reduced Shopping Cart to PO cycle time from 6 days to 2.5 days due to less approvals and automated PO release for catalog orders
Products purchased from catalogs automatically create the PO once SC is fully approved – quicker turn-around time
EMEA to increase order volume through catalogs from 34% to 70% and gain the benefit of compliance with company pre-negotiated products and pricing, estimated to be $167K cost-avoidance over the next three years for EMEA alone
