Consumers want smooth, fast and easy transactions. Shopping online means knowing when a product is available, finding exactly what you’re looking for through a simple search, completing the transactional process in one or two clicks and letting the package come to you as you wait in the comfort of your own home.
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.

E-procurement integration for maximum efficiency
Integrating e-procurement into your existing plan is simple when you have the right team providing support along the way. Our project managers are experienced in large and small integration projects and will collaborate with your IT department to ensure smooth, cost-effective integration. Obtaining access to product information, availability and custom pricing will help shorten the purchase lifecycle, increase accuracy and reduce returns.
How automated approval routing will help your business
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:
- High configurable rules: simple or multitier approver rules
- Customizable schedules: email notifications on requisition based on status
- Invoice summary: reporting of purchases, dates, shipping and invoice total
It all comes back to reporting.
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.
A refined, online experience
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.
