Supplywise walkthrough - Suppliers

The client has many suppliers, where several of them are integrated. Not only the actual catalog but also as much content as possible is imported on the products.

Creation rules

Products are created automatically in Norce based on supplier data and creation rules. They are set up as “Extended” or "Standard" assortments. Standard products are created in the ERP directly, but Extended are residing only in Norce until needed.

Product content
  1. New products comes from the supplier and is created as supplier sku’s in Norce
  2. A creation rule will automatically create some of the sku’s with the type “extended assortment” and status “coming” and others will be created directly as Standard products.
  3. The enrichment process happens in parallell after products are created
  4. Standard products are automatically sent to the ERP

Content integration

For all products that are created by the rules in Norce the integration can add content, like images, texts and parametrics automatically. The client has also a specific 3rd party provider of content that is integrated as well.

Expiring and deactivation

Suppliers will control the Extended products. When not suppliers are selling them anymore they will automatically close, unless their status has been locked.

Drop shipping

Some suppliers are enabled for drop shipping in Norce. If they are chosen as supplier to a drop ship product the integration will look up and pass in supplier information with the order line so that the drop ship purchase order can be done by the ERP.
