Battlecard: Why choose Shoppie to manage procurement in JSM

Battlecard: Why choose Shoppie to manage procurement in JSM

What is Shoppie?

Shoppie is a Forge-built procurement solution for Jira Service Management (JSM) and Customer Service Management (CSM) within the Service Collection. Fully integrated with Assets, it brings a modern, shop-like experience to the customer portal, making it easy for teams to request hardware, software, permissions, and services.

Goal of this page

Position Shoppie as the procurement solution within Atlassian’s Service Collection, helping partners and sales teams win more JSM and CSM deals against competitors like ServiceNow by showcasing its advantages over native setup and Atlassian Marketplace alternatives.

ServiceNow: Shopping Hub

ShoppingHub is ServiceNow’s catalog-based procurement portal, providing an e-commerce-like experience for employees to request approved goods and services. It is part of the Sourcing and Procurement Operations (SPO) suite and integrates with ServiceNow’s sourcing, purchasing, and vendor management modules, as well as external ERP systems. Running on the Now Platform, it automates the request-to-purchase process but typically requires other ServiceNow procurement modules, meaning it is not available as a fully standalone solution.

Native implementation

A native implementation is built entirely with Atlassian products, without using Marketplace apps. It relies on custom fields, forms, automation rules, and workflows in Jira and JSM to manage procurement.
