Covisint ditches in-house catalogue system

NEWS Covisint is replacing its in-house supplier catalogue management software with a system from Requisite Technology after admitting its own technology is time consuming and complex. The new system will centralise uploads, modification and management of supplier catalogue content, cutting buyer/supplier negotiation time from months to a week. Covisint's own system, Covisint Tracker, involved a manual process whereby catalogue data accepted in different formats had to be manually translated into language that worked with the catalogue systems of Covisint's buyers. The new system will go live on 30 June in five languages.
