Quote-to-Cart Process with Punchout Suppliers
Most of our punchout suppliers can upload quotes into the punchout. Retrieving a quote via punchout will allow the order to be processed as a catalog order which will save time, eliminate errors, and enables electronic invoicing.
When obtaining a quote for the following suppliers, please ask the REP to upload the quote to our punchout system: Agilent, Apple, B&H, BioRad, CDW-G, Dell, Fastenal, Fisher, FW Webb, GovConnection, Grainger, Home Depot, Illumina, Lowes, MSC, Qiagen, Sigma, USA Scientific, VWR and WEI.
FISHER SCIENTIFIC: Some Medical School locations will require users to default their location in their profile in order to retrieve a quote.
For the most part, all quotes are uploaded to the 049 UMASS account.
