Cardonet, Inc. announced version 3.1 of the Cardonet Transactive Catalog, a production catalog and discovery engine offering a full range of automated services to help search, compare and select products from within an online catalog. Cardonet’s enhanced engine is capable of functioning as a single-vendor or multi-vendor remote “web catalog” using third-party commerce protocols, such as Ariba’s PunchOut, CommerceOne’s RoundTrip and SAP’s Open Catalog Interface (OCI). The Cardonet Transactive Catalog is an optional component of Cardonet’s e-catalog automation platform. The Cardonet Transactive Catalog can be easily loaded with catalog information from the Cardonet e-catalog automation platform and used by manufacturers or distributors to offer customized views of their catalogs, or can be used by large corporations as a multi-supplier purchasing catalog tightly linked to their e-procurement application. Other new features of the Cardonet Transactive Catalog software include a customizable parametric search application, a built-in shopping cart, support for multiple buyer-specific catalog views, and a set of APIs for tailoring the catalog’s appearance and operation. The Cardonet Transactive Catalog is available now with list prices starting at $50,000.
