Global Telecommunications Manufacturer

Object Edge needed to allow for punchout order creation, with a few key elements:

• Allowing auto sign-in to the manufacturer’s store from Ariba. Customers need to seamlessly access the storefront from their procurement application, so that the purchase process is easy and convenient.
• Shopping without distraction. Customers should see only features relevant to their shopping purchase, so that purchases are completed quickly.
• View custom products and prices. Customers should only see the catalog and prices specific to their contract. 
• Add an item to punch out cart. Customers can add items to cart in their shopping experience.
• Create purchase order in Ariba. As a punchout user in the store, customers can punchback to their procurement application to create a purchase order.

This solution provided two key benefits:

• Reduce manual work that the manufacturer needs to do to set up and refresh catalogs for their different buyers
• Provide an elevated experience to the buyers by bringing them to the eCommerce storefront
