Case Study: Saint Louis University achieves seamless e-procurement and stress-free Workday integration with Unimarket

With Workday Integration, Unimarket makes e-procurement more seamless

Saint Louis University (SLU), a 13,000‑student institution, faced decentralized procurement, manual PO processes and out‑of‑system purchases that reduced visibility and compliance—especially during its ERP transition from Ellucian Banner to Workday. SLU chose the Unimarket e‑Procurement solution for its intuitive marketplace, punchout support and strong customer service to centralize buying, capture negotiated pricing, and improve spend management.

Unimarket built a native integration with Workday while preserving SLU’s procurement marketplace and 40+ punchout catalogs so users could continue shopping intuitively while requisitions, approvals and receipting ran in Workday. The deployment delivered a stress‑free integration, suppliers now manage their own catalogs, transactions include line‑item detail for better reporting, and SLU achieved greater control and visibility into spend with a significant reduction in off‑contract purchases.
