How to Search for Products on the ILTPP Marketplace
There are two main ways to search for products on the ILTPP Marketplace: using the search bar and browsing by category.
Using the Search Bar
The search bar is located at the top of the ILTPP Marketplace homepage. It is the most efficient way to find a specific product or service.
- ILTPP Logo- Click on the ILTPP Logo from anywhere in the ILTPP Marketplace to be taken back to the main marketplace. The best practice is to rely on the ILTPP Logo rather than your web browser’s back button.
- Category Search Dropdown Menu- Refine your search to all suppliers within a specific category through the category search dropdown menu.
- Magnifying Glass Icon- Click this button on the Search Bar to search across all suppliers or supplier categories as specified by your category search dropdown menu selection. Click the Magnifying Glass icon under a supplier's logo to populate a search bar to search that supplier's catalog. The Magnifying Glass Icon will only appear if a supplier's products are available online in the ILTPP Marketplace. For suppliers with a globe icon, you can click the globe to access the Punchout Site for that supplier. When you check out on the Punchout Site, your items will appear in your cart here on the ILTPP Marketplace.
- Search Bar- Type the name of the item that you wish to purchase into the search bar. We recommend you search by product name or manufacturer part number rather than the supplier catalog number. After entering your search terms, press Enter or click on the magnifying glass to search.
- Profile Name and Sign Out- Hove over the Profile Name for an option to View or Edit your user profile or sign out of the ILTPP Marketplace.
- Transferred Carts- Check here to see the status of carts you’ve sent to an approver or to see received carts waiting for your approval. This area may not be active for all users.
- Requisitions- Check here to show your requisitions and order histories and/or requisitions waiting for approval. This area may not be active for all users.
- Quotes- click on quotes to request or view quotes from one or more suppliers participating in the ILTPP Marketplace’s online quote function.
- Support- ILTPP has staff on standby who are ready to assist you. Click the Support button and then send your contact information and questions directly to the staff, who will reach out to you with answers.
- Cart Icon- When you shop, you can add items to your cart. To view your cart, simply click on the cart icon. Hovering over the Cart Icon will display a link to the shopping list. View the shopping list to see your list of favorite products and any other lists you've saved, like a wish list of frequently purchased items.
- Create- Here, you can create a quote request.
- Supplier Sites- Click on the suppliers listed to access our ILTPP pricing on the supplier's website. When you check out on the supplier site, your items will appear in your cart on the ILTPP Marketplace.
Summary
The ILTPP Marketplace homepage is a great place to start your search for products and services. By using the search bar, categories column, and supplier tiles, you can easily find information you need.
