IBX Catalogue Scorecard
IBX Catalogue Scorecard combines a tool and a methodology developed by IBX to help suppliers enhance the quality of their electronic catalogues. After the catalogue has been published, IBX uses a scorecard to evaluate and provide recommendations on catalogue quality. Catalogues are evaluated using three criteria:
- Search - How easy is it to find the supplier’s products?
- Decide – Does the catalogue provide all necessary information to make a purchasing decision?
- Follow up – Does the catalogue have the information needed to get quality statistics from the purchasing process?
Depending on the result, you can sign up for a workshop in catalogue quality to learn more about how to improve catalogue quality to gain increased sales.
