Preferred Suppliers, Punchouts, and Information Needed

Users can place an order with any supplier in Prendio for merchandise or services.  Prendio partners with several preferred suppliers and suppliers that offer punchout capabilities to offer clients a competitive and streamlined purchasing process. 

A preferred supplier is a vendor that our platform has chosen to establish a long-term relationship with due to their reliability, quality of products or services, competitive pricing, and alignment with the company's strategic goals. Clients may benefit from streamlined procurement processes and favorable discounts from these preferred partnerships.

A punchout supplier is a vendor that provides an online catalog integrated with our platform. This allows requestors to browse and order products directly from the supplier's website while maintaining Prendio’s purchasing controls and processes. The punchout system ensures that the items added to the cart within the supplier’s portal is captured within Prendio, streamlining the purchasing process and improving efficiency.

Punchouts are an automated method to place an order in Prendio.  The process to establish a punchout for a company will be different depending on the supplier.  Certain punchouts are available immediately while other punchouts may require additional information from a company.

If a punchout is available for a supplier, users can select the punchout to create a cart:

For additional details on creating a cart using a punchout, please visit: Creating A Prendio Punchout Order

If a supplier does not offer a punchout, users can create a Manual Cart and complete the details.  To create a manual cart, users can locate My Carts followed by +Cart:

For additional instructions on creating a manual cart, please visit: Creating an Order with a Manual or Custom Cart

If generating a manual cart, users can identify if a connected supplier is used for the order.  Connected suppliers means that a Contract and Terms exist between the Company and that Supplier in Prendio.  Connected suppliers are indicated with a circled checkmark to the left of the supplier name:

 

If the Supplier is not listed in the search, type out the complete Supplier Name and add the supplier's website or email address:

 

If available, attach the W-9 for the supplier:

 

Once complete select Request Supplier:

If the supplier’s W-9 is not available, add the supplier's website or email address and select Request Supplier. After the cart is submitted, a user with the Buyer role can reach out to the supplier to obtain the W-9 and remit address for the supplier.  The Buyer will also negotiate the Contract and Terms and when complete, Connect your Company to this Supplier. Please note that until the W-9 is obtained, the order or any urgent invoices for the supplier cannot be processed.
