B2B Connected Commerce Platform Overview
Get Started

Common Challenges
- Heavy reliance on inefficient purchase orders in static document formats, such as PDFs emailed to a supplier, and non-electronic delivery processes such as PO’s delivered via regular mail or fax
- Delayed PO processing and increased order error rate resulting from the need for manual entry
- Downstream reconciliation costs for Buyers resulting for the need to perform manual line-by-line reviews of PO and invoice data

What is PO Automation?
Once shopping cart details are approved by a buying organization and a purchase order is issued, PO Automation sends the purchase order details to the supplier in a data format the supplier’s system can read.
PO Automation reduces time and improves accuracy for B2B order processing.
