Content Management Maintained by Enable Systems, our extensive IT catalog contains over 500,000 SKUs mapped to a single master catalog - making critical functions such as hierarchical searching and comparisons both possible and simple. Pricing and Availability By the nature of the industry, IT product data is extremely complex and volatile - new products are continually added and discontinued. TechSeeker™ receives daily feeds from its suppliers which contain updated pricing and availability of all current items. Tailored Programs Negotiated special bid prices are maintained in your procurement environment. Access is granted to only those employees approved to purchase IT products. Specific manufacturers, categories or even products can be made available or hidden based on your corporate standards. Order Status/Tracking and Reporting The status of your order is tracked by TechSeeker™ and directly integrated with supplier order systems. You have immediate access to product ship dates and tracking numbers. Extensive reporting is also available to help you monitor spend levels and identify trends. Key Functions TechSeeker™ offers an extensive catalog and easy searching of the data. The TechSeeker™ database contains a robust SKU count representing thousands of manufacturers. Up to 65 attributes for each product are available to be searched, reviewed and compared. Products can be searched by any combination of keyword, manufacturer, part number or extensive product categories. Company-standard products and configurations are stored using custom lists for quick ordering and to maintain adherence to corporate standards. Once your product is located, the tool also allows for viewing by supplier for updated product availability and pricing. Also, up to five like products can be compared across the attributes for those products. Attribute differences are automatically highlighted to assist with your shopping decision.
