VARStreet PunchOut Integration with JAGGAER (SciQuest)
JAGGAER, formerly known as SciQuest, is widely used by higher education institutions, healthcare organizations, and public-sector entities to manage structured procurement workflows. VARStreet enables suppliers to meet JAGGAER PunchOut requirements by connecting their hosted catalog to the JAGGAER procurement environment.
Through a VARStreet-powered PunchOut catalog, JAGGAER buyers can access approved supplier catalogs, shop externally, and return carts into JAGGAER for requisition review and purchase order creation. VARStreet operates on the supplier side, ensuring catalog availability, customer-specific pricing, and reliable cart return without altering the buyer’s existing JAGGAER workflows.

About VARStreet PunchOut Integration with JAGGAER (SciQuest)
VARStreet enables suppliers to support JAGGAER (SciQuest) PunchOut requirements by connecting their hosted catalog to customer procurement environments running on JAGGAER. Through this integration, suppliers can allow JAGGAER buyers to access approved catalogs from within their procurement system, shop on a VARStreet-powered store, and return carts to JAGGAER for requisition and purchase order processing.
VARStreet operates entirely on the supplier side, managing catalog structure, customer-specific pricing, and PunchOut session handling. Once the shopping cart is returned, JAGGAER retains full control over approval workflows, compliance checks, and purchase order creation. VARStreet then receives the purchase order for downstream processing in accordance with the supplier’s standard operating procedures. This clear separation ensures reliable PunchOut enablement without disrupting existing JAGGAER procurement controls.
How It Works
Login
The buyer logs in to the JAGGAER procurement system and starts a controlled purchasing session, ensuring all requests flow through configured policies and user permissions.
PunchOut to VARStreet Store
From JAGGAER, the buyer punches out to the supplier’s VARStreet-powered catalog, where customer-specific products, pricing, and business rules are automatically applied.
Cart Creation
Within the VARStreet store, the buyer selects approved products, reviews catalog-defined pricing and details, and builds a shopping cart aligned with internal purchasing guidelines.
Cart Return
The completed cart is returned to JAGGAER as a requisition, with line items, costs, and supplier information mapped into the buyer’s procurement workflow for review and approval.
Purchase Order Creation
After internal approvals are completed in JAGGAER, the requisition is converted into a formal purchase order using the customer’s preferred document format and terms.
Order Processing
The approved purchase order is sent from JAGGAER to VARStreet via the agreed method (such as email or integration), and the supplier then manages order fulfillment and invoicing according to the customer’s configured process.
