With sites like Amazon streamlining the e-commerce movement, more buyers are heading to the web — versus brick-and-mortar stores — to purchase gifts, household necessities, clothing, books and more. It’s convenient, intuitive and efficient. What if you could get that same seamless online shopping experience for technology devices and solutions? What if you could completely customize the procurement process? With insight.com, you can.
At Insight, we know that businesses need to purchase products and solutions to improve productivity and efficiency — and that ideally, the IT buying process should be as fast and simple as everyday consumer purchasing.
That’s why we've developed an intuitive e-procurement platform for our clients. Over the years, insight.com has been carefully molded into a complete solution to help users:

Obtaining access to product information, availability and custom pricing will help shorten the purchase lifecycle, increase accuracy and reduce returns.
Approval routing is a practice that creates proactive, internal controls for purchase authorization. Insight.com has a customizable approval workflow system that allows organizations to extend access to the end-user community while maintaining the appropriate level of oversight before purchases are made. By automating the process, you’ll enjoy faster ordering time, reduced unauthorized purchases, real-time order status updates and ensured policy compliance.
Additional automated approval routing benefits include:
Whether your business is working on negotiations, creating industry predictions or setting goals for the next quarter, analysis-ready data makes all the difference. Instead of sifting through vast data mountains for salvageable content, the online reporting capabilities of insight.com creates customized reports at a moment’s notice. These reports provide greater visibility over a three-year period, making it easy to streamline reconciliation by location, cost centers, general ledger codes or other custom data.
At Insight, we make it stress-free and efficient to access solutions and products online, manage your entire IT lifecycle, and consolidate the applications your organization needs for a complete e-commerce experience.
