Cat Integrated Procurement (Cat IP) connects your business or procurement system with the Cat dealer system for more efficient parts ordering. If you experience a high volume of parts orders, you'll love the convenience of Cat IP.
End-to-end integrated procurement is ideal if you're a Cat customer with modern procurement systems. Customers are cutting transaction costs by 50% or more thanks to better order accuracy and efficiency!

Connect your procurement system, supplier network, or third-party marketplace to the Cat Dealer network. You only need an internet connection and a system that can create, send, and receive XML files via HTTPS.
In the Caterpillar Hosted Catalog, browse your dealer’s PartStore and the part manuals in SIS (Service Information
System). View real-time pricing and availability for more than 1 million Cat parts to ensure you have exactly what you need.
Thanks to the Punchout or OCI RoundTrip protocol, you can easily sync order information to your own system. From there, easily submit XML parts orders, create POs, or reconcile invoices thanks to a direct connection to the dealer system via Cat IP.
Cat Integrated Procurement can be beneficial if your organization has a relatively high volume of parts orders. For smaller volumes, consider Caterpillar’s other eCommerce suite of offerings, like the Cat Central app or parts.cat.com.
