Office Depot is a global provider of products, services and solutions for the workplace serving consumers through its over 2,000 retail locations, e-commerce websites and a business-to-business sales channel.
The Atlas supplier enablement network provides Office Depot with an electronic platform for collaboration and commerce with over 4,000 suppliers of goods-for-resale products spanning eight countries and seven languages. The solution facilitates product catalog and pricing synchronization, electronic invoicing, and enablement of automated transactions through the entire purchase-to-pay process.

Gray, managing director of Atlas Products International, a HighJump Software company. “Our unique platform with error detection algorithms allows retailers like Office Depot to streamline direct-procurement processes and reduce unnecessary costs associated with inaccurate invoices, orders and product catalogs.”
