eProcurement Solutions for Labs
Easy Ordering for Your Lab
What is eProcurement?
eProcurement for labs involves using digital platforms and technology to automate and simplify the purchase of lab supplies, equipment, and services. Using an eProcurement system enables you to seamlessly find and compare products, place orders online, track company spending, and manage your inventory more efficiently. By integrating your organization’s eProcurement system with STEMCELL Technologies’ product catalog, you can simplify how you order lab supplies from us and you spend more time focusing on your scientific research.
Why Connect Your eProcurement System?
- Save time and money by reducing manual entry and paperwork
- Use one system to compare our products and prices with those of other suppliers
- Centralize purchase orders and invoice information for streamlined data analysis and improved spend visibility
- Reduce errors and purchase order discrepancies by getting accurate, up-to-date pricing and product information
- Save on order processing time by automating processes and simplifying internal approvals
eProcurement Integration Options
Access Our Products Through Your Ordering System
PunchOut provides seamless integration between your eProcurement system and our website. Once connected, you can use your eProcurement system to access our website to browse and add products to your STEMCELL Cart. You then transfer your cart back into your eProcurement system, including all product and pricing information. Back in your eProcurement system, you can generate a purchase requisition, approval request, and purchase order (PO) submission, which may then be directed to our Customer Service team for order processing.
Why Use a PunchOut Catalog?
- Discover a user-friendly interface that is simple and easy to use
- Get accurate pricing and product availability information with an up-to-date catalog
- Obtain detailed product information including product presentations, protocols, and supporting technical documents
- Access LiveChat, links, and videos for scientific support and troubleshooting
- Retrieve quotes, add items to your cart with the Quick-Add function, and import bulk items
How Are PunchOut Catalogs Classified?
Level 1 PunchOut:
Level 2 PunchOut:
Level 2 PunchOuts combine a level 1 PunchOut catalog with a hosted catalog uploaded to your eProcurement system. Using the STEMCELL PunchOut site, you can add items to the cart, which can be transferred to your eProcurement system, or use the hosted catalog to browse products directly in your procurement system. A purchase order (PO) can then be submitted to the supplier.

Static File Uploads to Your Ordering System
A hosted catalog is a static customized file containing product data, including name, description, and price. The catalog file is uploaded to your eProcurement system, thereby allowing you to search for and add products to a purchase requisition directly in your system. The catalogs are updated quarterly; however, for the most up-to-date and detailed product catalog, integrating via PunchOut is recommended.
Why Use a Hosted Catalog?
- Easily browse products within your procurement system
- Obtain detailed product information including product overviews, protocols, and supporting technical documents (system dependent)
- Get quarterly price file submissions with pricing and product updates
