Price and Product Availability
Real-time Information to Streamline Approval Workflows
WebSpan Price & Product Availability Integration enables a direct connection and seamless integration between a hosted online catalog and your back-end system. When customers are shopping via an online catalog, they often want to verify the pricing information and validate that the product is actually available. Once a buyer selects an item from the catalog, they can initiate a real-time query and receive instant information on pricing, availability, estimated shipping date, and other related information. This real-time information is beneficial to approval managers or accounting departments during the procurement work flow to ensure pricing and availability is correct prior to approval or final submission of the purchase order.
WebSpan Price & Product Availability Integration includes multiple request and response messages, such as:
- Unit Price Verification
- Supplier Part Number
- Quantity Available
- Availability Date
- Estimated Shipping Date
- Item Number
- Etc.

This is an opportunity to differentiate your catalog offering from the competition, because you can provide a hosted catalog in the format customers require, but still enable on-demand, dynamic information the customer needs via your internal systems. Hubspan mediates between these different formats for a seamless, real-time experience.
