Our fast and effective online solutions helps optimise and simplify the ordering process to drive down your purchase costs by eliminating errors, managing back orders, and reducing the time it takes to place orders -  saving both time and money. 

 

Designed and supported in-house, NetXpress is our simple to use Internet ordering system and offers you the ease and convenience of ordering our products directly via the Internet.

 

Each day, NetXpress receives more than 8,500 orders from the registered users, who now number in excess of 280,000. You no longer need to search through paperwork, phone for pricing, prepare orders and wait for delivery confirmation.
 
NetXpress gives you desktop access to thousands of products so you can instantly view pricing and product availability online. After choosing products, you can transmit your order in seconds to our central despatch computer system and receive goods in most major cities the next business day. The intuitive system offers context-sensitive online help and supports all our products in every line of business.

 

NetXpress allows you to control access and set authority levels based on secure individual user logins. You can restrict product selection and set approvals associated by order, item value or a specified budget. You can capture expenditure by cost centre or department and control purchasing.

 

Another option is to integrate your company’s procurement system directly with Corporate Express.

 

Corporate Express has implemented a tier 1 integration tool known as webMethods that allows us to integrate with any system based on industry standards. Trading examples include: SAP, Oracle, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, Ariba, Commerce One and Mincom.

 

Orders can then be created in your own application, approved through your internal workflow and then sent to Corporate Express’ webMethods server. Documents supported include: punchout catalogue, purchase order, purchase order acknowledgement, invoice, credit note and EFT payments.
