Browse the Employee Shopping Catalog
Purchasing Power brings an employer-sponsored shopping catalog to an Android phone, giving eligible employees a direct way to browse products and services available through their organization. Shoppers can move through thousands of brand-name items, explore featured groups such as New Arrivals, Best Sellers, and Clearance, and review promotions without relying on a separate desktop session.
Wishlist controls help users save items for later comparison, while app-only offers can highlight timely purchase options. The catalog covers practical needs such as electronics, appliances, furniture, tires, and other household essentials. This browsing flow is most useful for enrolled employees who want to research products, compare choices, and return to saved items before committing to a payroll-deduction purchase.
Plan Purchases Around Payroll Deductions
The program replaces a single upfront payment with fixed deductions taken from participating employees' paychecks over a defined period. Users can see the total product cost, their available spending limit, and the scheduled payment amount before completing an order. Eligibility is linked to employment with a participating organization rather than a conventional credit check, which gives the app a specific role within workplace benefits.
Account information keeps the payment plan visible after sign-in, helping users understand what remains available and how an order fits their budget. Spending limits are designed to reduce overextension, while transparent pricing makes comparison important because Purchasing Power is not a discount store. The result is a structured purchasing option for eligible workers who value predictable payments and clear costs.
Track Orders and Submit Account Documents
Purchasing Power includes account tools for the tasks that continue after choosing a product. Users can review an account statement, check order and shipping status, and follow the progress of purchases from the same mobile interface. These controls reduce the need to switch between separate websites or wait for a support representative just to confirm where an order stands.
Document submission is built into the workflow for orders or account steps that require additional information. Users can capture a document with the phone camera or select an existing image, then send it through the app. Chat, messaging, and phone contact options provide routes to customer support when an order, payment, or account question needs personal help. Together, these tools turn the app into more than a storefront.
Search Products with Vita and Manage Access
Version 9.2 introduces Vita, an AI shopping assistant that lets users search for products through a chat-style conversation. Instead of navigating every catalog category manually, shoppers can describe what they need, ask about different products, and receive recommendations that narrow the available choices. This can make a large catalog easier to explore when the user has a goal but not a specific model in mind.
The app also keeps access tasks close to the shopping experience. Returning customers sign in with their account email, new visitors can begin registration, and a recovery path is available for forgotten email details or passwords. Because the program is limited to participating employers and organizations, these account controls connect each user to the appropriate storefront, spending limit, orders, and support options.
