Field guide
Diagnose the journey before choosing the connector.
A short observation of a real order often reveals more value than another isolated integration project.
A practical method for procurement and IT teams
Start with the break, not the protocol.
Before choosing PunchOut, EDI, API or a file exchange, observe where the product is found, where the cart is created, what is retyped and where the official order is born.
Then prioritize suppliers and categories where volume, value, risk and manual work meet.
