Take Full Control of IT Procurement with Precoro and Markit Integration

When IT purchases are spread across teams, tools, and emails, things get complicated fast. What starts as a simple request can quickly turn into delays, missing approvals, and limited visibility into spend.

With the new Precoro and Markit integration, IT purchasing stays in one place, automatically moving from selection to approval. Teams shop on Markit as usual, while Precoro keeps every order visible, budget-checked, and compliant without breaking your existing workflow.

How does Precoro and Markit PunchOut integration work?

The Precoro and Markit integration brings all your IT purchasing into one clean and controlled workflow.

Forget the tedious cycle of copying details from Markit and pasting them into Precoro. Instead, just open a request in Precoro and get automatically redirected to Markit. Select the needed items, like laptops, monitors, software subscriptions, or accessories, just as you always do. Once ready, submit your cart and let Precoro take care of the rest. All product prices, quantities, and descriptions instantly flow into your PR or PO, ready for quick approval and tracking.

After approval, the order is placed automatically on Markit, so your IT purchasing stays centralized, visible, and fully managed all the way through.

How does the Precoro and Markit integration benefit your IT procurement?

The Precoro & Markit PunchOut integration is designed to simplify purchasing while keeping every step centralized and under control. Here’s how it delivers value across your entire IT procurement workflow:

Intuitive & error-free ordering

The Precoro and Markit integration turns IT purchasing into a guided and system-controlled process. Users start in Precoro, open a PR or PO, and are seamlessly redirected to Markit’s catalog to choose the hardware or software they need. Once the cart is submitted, all item details—including prices, quantities, and descriptions—flow automatically back into Precoro. Requests are created with accurate data from the start, without manual entry, errors, and back-and-forth between teams.

Built-in spend control before commitment

Every purchase made through Markit PunchOut follows your approval workflows in Precoro. Approval chains are tailored to your internal structure, so the right stakeholders review each request before orders are placed. With Approval SLA and clear ownership at each step, requests move faster while staying fully compliant with procurement rules and budget policies.

Stronger supplier relationships

After approval, orders are placed automatically on Markit, with no delays or data inconsistencies. Clean orders, accurate quantities, and structured processes reduce friction and help suppliers fulfill orders faster. The result is a smoother operational flow for both sides that helps build a more reliable relationship with your IT supplier.

Centralized & actionable spend insights

With Precoro and Markit integration, every IT purchase is captured in one place from the start. Procurement and finance teams can analyze purchases by supplier, category, team, or location using custom reports, real-time dashboards, and Precoro’s AI Assistant. This makes it easier to spot trends and make informed sourcing decisions without chasing data across tools.
