Providing your customers with pricing and inventory feeds enables them to make more informed sourcing decisions, reduces mistakes, and speeds the processing time for sales reps!

The Customer’s field workers will typically use the Kojo mobile app to create a requisition while on the job site. This requisition will detail the associated job, delivery locations and instructions, materials, need by date & time, any notes, etc.
​

After selecting the proper materials they “check out” which sends the requisition to a Purchasing Agent at the customer’s corporate office.
​

The purchasing agent uses Kojo’s “office” products to process, correcting any mistakes made by the field, selecting any specific preferred materials, and determines whether they want to place a Request for Quote or issue a Purchase Order directly to a supplier from the requisition.

This is the step in the process where pricing and inventory availability is surfaced to the Kojo user to aid in their sourcing decisions.
​

The primary approach is "flat file" based inventory & pricing.

On a regular cadence the supplier automates two flat files feeds, one with pricing information, unique to that customer, and another with inventory information, unique to the branch. We consume this and display the most up to date values to the user.
​
In order for your customers to leverage this functionality, it is also necessary to share a list of products with Kojo in order for the system to match to your products.
​
​If a "flat file" is not an option we can accommodate APIs on a case by case basis.
​

Once the supplier has responded to the issued RFQ or PO with a quote or Order Acknowledgement, the procurement specialist proceeds down the next step of their procurement process.
