Veriscape Catalogs: Bringing Clarity and Control to Procurement

Procurement teams face growing pressure to reduce costs, enforce compliance, and improve purchasing accuracy—yet many still operate with fragmented supplier catalogs, inconsistent pricing, and disconnected requisition systems. When employees can’t find the right product, don’t know which supplier to use, or place orders at unapproved prices, procurement loses visibility and control.

Veriscape Catalogs was purpose-built to eliminate these inefficiencies. By centralizing and standardizing procurement catalogs, Veriscape empowers teams to guide purchasing decisions, reduce rogue spend, and streamline procurement operations across the enterprise.

The Procurement Challenges of Decentralized Catalogs

Procurement teams commonly face three catalog-related challenges that impact cost, efficiency, and compliance:

Fragmented Supplier Data

Supplier product information is often scattered across emails, spreadsheets, shared folders, and disconnected procurement systems. With no single source of truth, purchasing becomes inconsistent and time-consuming. Procurement professionals waste hours validating details or correcting errors, and employees often bypass the system altogether—ordering from unapproved suppliers simply because they can’t find the right item.

Inconsistent Pricing and Item Descriptions

Without standardized product taxonomy or price governance, the same item might appear under different names or prices across departments. This leads to duplicate orders, overpayments, and missed opportunities to leverage volume discounts. Misclassified data also undermines spend analysis, making it harder to identify cost-saving opportunities or track performance against supplier agreements.

Rogue Purchasing Outside Preferred Suppliers

When employees lack visibility into approved supplier catalogs, they’re more likely to buy from non-contracted vendors. These rogue purchases create compliance risks, reduce negotiated savings, and introduce variability into supply quality and service.

Veriscape Catalogs: A Smarter Approach to Catalog Management

Veriscape Catalogs is more than just a digital catalog—it’s a governance tool for procurement teams to take back control. It provides a centralized, structured catalog platform that ensures every purchase aligns with procurement policy and supplier agreements.

Procurement teams can:

• Centralize supplier catalogs to eliminate data duplication and pricing discrepancies
• Standardize product descriptions and taxonomy for consistent procurement classification
• Enforce preferred supplier usage to reduce rogue spending
• Connect seamlessly with Veriscape Requisitions to streamline purchase requests
•  Improve purchasing compliance by aligning every request with internal policies

Why It Matters for Strategic Procurement

As part of the Veriscape Platform, Veriscape Catalogs plays a vital role in helping organizations achieve greater transparency, control, and efficiency. By ensuring that purchasing begins with accurate, governed data, it supports better spend analysis, strengthens supplier relationships, and enables finance and procurement teams to align on budgeting and policy enforcement.

Designed to work with existing ERP and procurement systems, Veriscape Catalogs reduces complexity while improving the user experience—ensuring that employees can quickly find the right items from the right suppliers at the right price.

Transforming Procurement Without Disrupting Existing Systems

Veriscape Catalogs is designed to work within your existing ERP and procurement infrastructure. Rather than replacing systems, it acts as a powerful layer of control and automation that brings structure to procurement operations—without requiring a costly overhaul.
