eRequester®

eRequester's Punch Out Module was designed to help purchasers who do a lot of online purchasing and want to get pre-approvals. The Punch Out Module allows users to "punch out" from the eRequester web application to a supported Vendor’s catalog, create a shopping cart with items and then automatically load the data into an eRequester requisition for approval. Once approved, the order can be electronically transmitted back to the vendor for fulfillment. The eRequester Punchout Module is ideal for organizations where e-procurement is integral to its operations.
