SciQuest Adds Amazon.com to Supplier Network, Offering SciQuest Customers More Products Than Ever Before. Check it out:
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- SciQuest, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand supplier management and procurement automation solutions for world-wide purchasing organizations, announced today that it has added Amazon.com to the SciQuest Supplier Network (SQSN) so that customers can now purchase products from Amazon.com through SciQuest. The SQSN is an aggregation of supplier catalog content specific to each organization using SciQuest solutions. The SQSN provides a streamlined, easy-to-use procurement experience with comprehensive content.
With the addition of Amazon.com to the SQSN, SciQuest customers can now choose from Amazon.com's extensive product selection, including millions of unique low-priced new, refurbished, and used items in a multitude of categories. Other SQSN suppliers include Apple, Barnes & Noble, CDW/CDW-G, and Dell, among many others in the computer, office supply, MRO, scientific and services commodity verticals.
According to a recent Aberdeen e-Procurement Benchmarking Survey, "Enterprises grossly underestimate the level of effort required to enable and manage supplier content and transactions." SciQuest understands that enabling supplier catalog content is a critical factor in maximizing user adoption, purchasing efficiency, spend management, and spend visibility within e-procurement systems. Yet, organizations are often challenged to enable the variety and quality of suppliers that end-users want in a way that also improves compliance. With the addition of Amazon.com, organizations now have easy access to timely and accurate product information for millions of retail products.
By accessing the SQSN, organizations can access suppliers through hosted catalog content and prices or punch-out catalogs and electronic order/invoice transmission. The combination of SciQuest's managed Supplier Enablement services and the SQSN allow organizations to reallocate internal resources for more strategic procurement initiatives.
"For almost a decade, SciQuest has addressed the supplier enablement challenges of many organizations of all sizes and needs through our proven client-centered approach," said Steve Wiehe, president and CEO of SciQuest. "With the addition of Amazon.com to our growing list of select network providers, we continue to deliver on that initiative by offering companies a critical mass of suppliers in key commodity groups."
Amazon.com joins a comprehensive network of suppliers who participate in the SQSN. For a complete list of suppliers in the SQSN, please contact your SciQuest representative.
