Browsing the Catalog

The Wren Catalog shows products you've previously purchased from a supplier. If a product has never been purchased before, use Punchout to shop the supplier's full catalog on their own site. Use search, filters, and view options to find items quickly.

The Catalog shows products you've previously purchased from your connected suppliers, making it fast to reorder items you already buy.

How to browse the Catalog

  1. Go to Shop > Catalog

  2. Select the supplier and location you're shopping for

  3. Browse previously purchased products, or use the search bar to find a specific item you've bought before

  4. Click a product to view details, or click Add to Cart

Finding products that aren't in the Catalog

The Catalog only displays products you've purchased before. If you need something you've never ordered previously, click Punchout to shop that supplier's full catalog on their own website.

  1. Click Punchout (top right of the Catalog)

  2. You'll be redirected to the supplier's site

  3. Add products to your cart there

  4. Click Submit Requisition (naming may vary by supplier) when done

  5. Your order will be sent back to Wren

Filtering your view

Use the tabs above the product list to filter by purchase recency:

  • All Items — everything you've previously purchased

  • Last 30 Days — items purchased in the past 30 days

  • Last 90 Days — items purchased in the past 90 days

Switching carts

Use the cart dropdown (labeled with your active cart, e.g. "Default Cart") to switch between your saved shopping carts.

Changing your view

Three view options are available in the top right of the Catalog:

  • List view — compact rows with key details

  • Grid view — larger product cards with images (default)

  • Table view — spreadsheet-style layout showing UOM, Price, Product Name, Manufacturer, Supplier, and more in sortable columns, with checkboxes for selecting multiple items

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see a product I need in the Catalog?
The Catalog only shows products you've purchased before. For anything new, use Punchout to shop the supplier's full catalog.

What's the difference between the Catalog and Punchout?
The Catalog is your purchase history with that supplier, for quick reordering. Punchout takes you to the supplier's full site to shop for anything, including items you've never ordered.

Can I filter by how recently I purchased something?
Yes. Use the All Items, Last 30 Days, or Last 90 Days tabs.

Can I switch between different shopping carts?
Yes. Use the cart dropdown to switch between saved carts.

What view options are available?
List, grid, and table views. Table view shows the most detail, including product name, manufacturer, and supplier in a sortable format.

What does "Not Contracted" mean?
It means the product isn't on contract with your connected GPO, so no GPO discount applies to that item's pricing.
