Ketera Catalog Management is an on demand solution that improves the efficiency of the catalog development and update process. As a result, organizations can increase the number of supplier catalogs that are online with current content and pricing.
Leverage your existing system
You may have decided to standardize all processes on your ERP system, including ordering from catalogs. While ERP systems are good at workflow–based applications, they do not provide adequate supplier relationship management support for either enabling suppliers or hosting and managing supplier catalogs.
Without the availability of up–to–date price and product information in catalogs, end users quickly begin to order outside the corporate procurement system. This in turn increases maverick spend, or off contract spend. In addition, as soon as buyers (end–users) begin to order outside the corporate procurement system, the organization loses visibility across the spend process. The corporate procurement system becomes a failure.
However, having invested a large amount of money in such a system from your ERP vendor, switching over to a new procurement system may not be an immediate option. Recognizing these market realities, Ketera introduced its Catalog Management solution which includes both services and technology to ensure the success of your existing ERP based procurement system.
Access and manage supplier catalogs easily
Ketera Catalog Management provides comprehensive catalog enablement workflows that are customizable by buyer, enabling them to meet their organizational needs. It provides a content collaboration platform for Ketera, our customers and their suppliers to ensure the delivery of high–quality supplier catalogs to the procurement system(s). Users can establish validation rules and establish controls to ensure proper review and approval of all supplier catalog content.
Customers can leverage Ketera Content Services to perform up to seven progressive levels of content standardization and enrichment. These value–added services are tracked and managed within Ketera Catalog Management, which can be used to assign and track specific end–user tasks. As an on demand supplier catalog management solution, Ketera’s Catalog Management can be integrated to your existing ordering module within the ERP system in a few weeks. Catalog Management allows users to manage and maintain catalogs and content very easily while ensuring complete audit history and tracking of all catalog development activities enterprise–wide. As a result, the catalog is always current and up–to–date.
