80-sextillion-part catalog available in buyer eProcurement systems
Challenge
MISUMI, a global manufacturer and distributor, faced the challenge of integrating a PunchOut catalog and cXML B2B order automation capabilities to retain business with one of their largest customers. Previous integration efforts had proven complex and challenging, and MISUMI needed a short lead time for the integration with a solution that could communicate with any eProcurement system.
MISUMI required:
- Short integration lead times
- Ability to connect with any eProcurement system
- PunchOut capabilities for a very large parts catalog
Solution
MISUMI partnered with TradeCentric to provide cXML/PunchOut catalog capabilities for their existing homegrown eCommerce application. With TradeCentric’s development support, the initial integration was configured and deployed in just two weeks. This enabled MISUMI to make its extensive catalog available via PunchOut to any customer with short lead times.
“Due to the demand for support network PunchOut/cXML integrations with a quick turnaround time, we decided to work with an experienced solution provider…”
