The Solution
TradeCentric provides a managed cloud Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) with connectors for many eCommerce stores, including Optimizely and various eProcurement platforms. The iPaaS translates data as it moves between supplier eCommerce stores and buyer eProcurement platforms, enabling transparent communication of data for PunchOut catalogs, requisition and purchase orders, electronic invoices, shipping notifications and more.
The TradeCentric team and Verndale worked with Dillon Supply to connect their Optimizely store to TradeCentric’s iPaaS. Once connected, Dillon Supply could enable buyers to use any eProcurement platform with PunchOut catalogs and purchase order automation. Buyers can access Dillon Supply’s eCommerce store from within their eProcurement platform. TradeCentric automatically transfers order data from Dillon Supply to the buyer’s platform. Once the purchasing organization approves the requisition order, order data is communicated back to Dillon Supply via TradeCentric.
Previously, Dillon Supply customers were forced to enter orders into their eProcurement platforms manually. TradeCentric eliminates this manual dual-entry.
