If your product is not listed, you can always contact us to add it.
Possibilities
There are two ways to offer products via Zaikio Procurement:
Option - API: One option is to send items and prices to Zaikio Procurement via the API interface. This form of integration enables advantages such as live pricing, an availability check, surcharges (e.g. low quantity surcharge), and more.
Option - csv-import: An alternative way to offer products is via a manual csv-import. For this purpose, an article file and a price file must be filled in and manually uploaded into the system. This way allows a relatively quick and easy entry into Zaikio Procurement, since technical requirements such as the connection to the own ERP system are not needed. On the other hand, this form of integration does not offer the advantages mentioned above.
