Buckeye Buy Shopping Experience Transition in Workday
Coming in May, the Buckeye Buy shopping experience will transition from the current third-party website (GHX Procure) to being all self-contained within Workday.
Bringing the Buckeye Buy experience directly into Workday simplifies the “shopping” process for end users. It also allows end users to see the different stages of their orders through the procure-to-pay lifecycle.
What benefits will we get from doing this?
- Decreases the number of clicks for end users when navigating the requisition shopping experience.
- Provides better item/content visibility controls to reduce downstream order processing errors.
- Decreases the number of third-party systems needed when Workday functionality is like-or-better.
- Creates a foundation which allows us to adopt additional Workday functionality in the future. Some examples could be advanced pricing and item substitutes.
Additionally, goods available from internal inventory locations will be flagged as “preferred” making it easier to find and select those items.
Stay tuned for more information regarding what is changing versus what is staying the same.
