Upload POs in Any Format to Build Your Shopping Cart
2 minute read
For manufacturers and distributors, meeting customer requirements often means adapting to the unique standards of larger clients. For example, Cummins—a Fortune 50 giant with thousands of suppliers, including SR Sales—mandates that suppliers handle orders in Cummins’ preferred file format. This can create a logistical challenge for suppliers, especially when files differ in format and structure.
Nomad’s flexible file upload feature is built for exactly this kind of scenario. Suppliers can now upload POs* directly to the eCommerce shopping cart in any format—from CSV and XML to Parquet and Avro—without needing to reformat the files to fit a predefined structure. Nomad interprets the data by reading predefined columns, like part numbers and quantities, and automatically builds the shopping cart instantly.
*And it does not have to be an official purchase order. You could upload a parts list pulled from the ERP, a quote list, a BOM list, an export from the CRM, or even a custom reorder list. All can be uploaded without needing to reformat the files to fit a predefined structure.
Once processed, Nomad even provides an updated version of the file with (say) current pricing and inventory levels, ready to share back with customers or internal teams. This feature enables B2Bs to support customers’ order demands, making it easy to comply without additional steps.
