Fisher Scientific PunchOut: Purchasing Laboratory Supplies Has Never Been Easier

Check out how this new PunchOut integration can help streamline the process of purchasing equipment, reagents, and services for your laboratories.

From now on, you can use Precoro and Fisher Scientific PunchOut integration to give your team direct access to the supplier’s catalog. With this integration, you can shop directly on the Fisher Scientific website and have all item details automatically transferred to your purchase requisition or purchase order — whichever you choose — in Precoro for convenient approval and processing.

Purchasing laboratory equipment, chemicals, supplies, and services for scientific research, healthcare, and safety measures has never been easier. Try our newest integration to ensure that your teams have instant access to high-quality products and can make orders without double data entry.

Smooth and Enjoyable Shopping with Precoro and Fisher Scientific PunchOut Integration

With this integration, laboratory teams can benefit both from the customizable workflows in Precoro and the always up-to-date online catalog of Fisher Scientific products. This way, requesting, selecting, approving, and ordering items becomes fast and smooth without the need for any manual intervention.

To ensure that integration fits your company’s workflows as seamlessly as possible, we’ve implemented a flexible starting point. Depending on whether or not you use the PR module in Precoro, you can either start the purchasing workflow with the classic purchase requisition or skip it and start directly with the purchase order.

Here’s how the purchasing workflow goes:

1. Whether you’ve chosen to use a PR or a PO, go to the relevant menu for document creation.
2. Select the option to request from Fisher Scientific (if you only have this one integration enabled) or from the marketplace and then the Fisher Scientific (for multiple integrations.)
3. Fill in all required fields and proceed to create the document.
4. When you are redirected to the Fisher Scientific catalog, browse it and add selected items to the cart.
5. Review the cart details, submit the items, and then you will be redirected to Precoro.
6. Finalize the document in Precoro and complete the internal approval process.
7. To cancel an order that has already been sent to Fisher Scientific, contact the supplier directly.

With our newest PunchOut integration, laboratory teams can benefit from Fisher Scientifics' familiar interface and up-to-date catalog. At the same time, the company can ensure that every purchase goes through the custom approval process adjusted to its unique needs.

Precision in purchases is especially important for scientific and research teams that work on time-sensitive projects involving reagents and materials. To ensure predictable inventory levels, such teams rely on up-to-date catalog information and flawless approvals.

Easily Set Up Precoro and Fisher Scientific Integration in a Few Steps

To set up this integration, start by configuring your account in Precoro. (Visit our Knowledge Base for more detailed information on the required credentials.) Navigate to configuration, then marketing configuration, and select Fisher Scientific. Select the document (PR or PO) you want to start the purchase process from. Flexibility is important, so you can always modify your selection later.

In the next step, obtain credentials from Fisher Scientific and paste credentials into Precoro’s configuration settings.

After that, complete the configuration by specifying where orders should be delivered to, who is the default purchaser, and add Fisher Scientific as the supplier. As a final step, set the shipping address and voila — you’re ready to go!
