October 31, 2016

Slingshot Innovates with “Shopping Cart Copy”

June 27, 2016

Slingshot’s competitors require you to manually copy the lines from your web shopping cart into a requisition or purchase order. Slingshot automates this process. Shop on your supplier’s web site in the normal manner. When you are ready to check out, click a button and the contents of your shopping cart are instantly copied into a Slingshot Requisition or Purchase Order.

This avoids the creation of duplicate products when the same item is purchased at a later date.

“Shopping Cart Copy” saves time and...
