www.puridiom.com - Puridiom, a leading provider of Procure-to-Pay Spend Management solutions and Heiler Software, a leading provider of Product Communication Software, have partnered and developed a new Catalog Content Manager (CCM) to streamline supplier adoption and catalog management for all Puridiom customers.
Puridiom has long recognized the need to accelerate supplier adoption and enable supplier self-service
quickly and efficiently using web-based tools. Integrating the Heiler Catalog Manager and Heiler Business Catalog with Puridiom's e-Procurement solution provides Puridiom's customer and suppliers with a best of breed solution.
The new Puridiom Catalog Content Manager provides a single catalog to manage information, transactions, and processes across multiple trading partners. Supplier's electronic catalogs can be integrated into the Puridiom procurement system, while the system is in operation, allowing buyers to access new catalogs from suppliers in real-time. Buyers can find, visualize, compare and order all the items they require with catalog data that is electronically available, of high quality and up-to-date prices.
Puridiom CCM features include extensive catalog management and robust search tools to include:
-- Supplier ability to upload or key in catalog data in various formats
-- Online validations of the data
-- Workflow approvals
-- Catalog-to-contract comparisons
-- Ability to publish data in various formats
-- Robust search features to include fuzzy, phonetic, parametric suggest search and commodity searching
-- Support for double punch-out in OCI, cXML and OAG XML
-- Product inquiries for items not in the catalog
-- Top seller searches
"Our customers are accustomed to the best in both technology and service and thus we needed a partner that was truly dedicated to this space," says Jesus Ramos, President of Puridiom. "We expect our customers to achieve a significant ROI by leveraging the Heiler catalog management solutions."
"The value of e-procurement is clear for purchasing companies, but supplier adoption and content continues to be the biggest risk for achieving that value," says Greg Wong, CEO of Heiler Software in Detroit. "The Heiler Premium Supply Network, including the Heiler Catalog Manager and Heiler Business Catalog, already facilitates over 1300 catalog data exchanges between buyers and suppliers reducing the risk of e-procurement for customers."
