Bridgestone SA Goes Live with Rinktee Cloud Punchout Catalog

Posted on Jun 30, 2017 by Simon
We are pleased to announce that Bridgestone (South Africa) has gone live with the Rinktee cloud punchout catalog solution earlier this month. This marks our 3rd SAP customer running SRM that has chosen Rinktee over SRM-MDM to manage catalogs for supplier items.

The preferred method of managing items in the cloud using Rinktee won over the standard SRM-MDM legacy offering that was limited in search and a challenge to maintain.

The following observations were also noted at Bridgestone:

  • MDM needs hardware,
  • MDM is more complex to setup,
  • Rinktee solution is easy, and time to market much quicker then MDM,
  • Rinktee is easier to maintain and not dependent on SAP support staff.

Congratulations Bridgestone SA!

Configurable Punchout

Posted on Mar 20, 2017 by Simon
A customer of ours had an interesting request that we've never encountered before. Rather than having a static catalog of items with predetermined attributes, could we apply our cloud technology to present a punchout with a different set of attributes based on the category the item belongs too?

Easy enough, the only complexity was capturing the data the requester was entering for that attribute and sending it along in the checkout as well.

One typical scenario is a user selecting the Electric Motor category. This category has a predefined set of attributes than does the Pneumatic Actuator category. The Motor might have four attributes the buyer needs info for, while the Actuator might need seven pieces of information for the buyer to make the correct purchase. Rather than uploading a standard CSV category file, the admin uploads a slightly different file called an Object CSV file, and then continues setting up the View and User sessions as before. The requester selects the category (now called object), and proceeds to enter applicable data into each attribute's text box and then submits the configured item into the shopping cart.

The requester in the end is able to configure an item based on their immediate requirements and not wait for the administrator to upload or create a specific item. This type of solution fits directly into our self-service mission to minimize any unnecessary delays and get items ordered as quickly as possible.
