Procurement processes slow down when systems don’t connect. Manual ordering, fragmented status updates, and disconnected asset data can create delays, increase effort, and limit visibility across the organization. For enterprises standardizing on ServiceNow®, those inefficiencies are especially apparent when procurement happens outside of existing workflows.
How SHI® NowConnect helps
With SHI NowConnect, we address this challenge directly by bringing our streamlined procurement directly into your ServiceNow platform.
As a secure, native ServiceNow integration, NowConnect links your ServiceNow environment with SHI procurement systems, allowing SHI catalog items to be published directly within your Service Catalog. Experience a more streamlined, transparent purchasing experience — all without leaving ServiceNow.
How NowConnect works
By automating the procurement lifecycle from initial request through asset management, NowConnect reduces manual work and simplifies operations. Purchases flow through your existing ServiceNow Procurement workflows rather than through external portals, helping teams maintain consistency and control.
Once an order is placed, NowConnect directly returns automated order confirmations, shipping updates, and tracking details to your ServiceNow instance, providing real‑time visibility into your order status.
NowConnect also accelerates asset management processes. Asset details, such as serial numbers and asset tags, automatically populate in ServiceNow, enabling faster provisioning and more accurate tracking. If you manage distributed inventory, NowConnect provides visibility into hardware stored with SHI through Virtual Stockroom, enabling transfer orders to end users or depots as needed.
Additional capabilities include:
- Synchronized vendor catalog items.
- Ship‑to end‑user addressing through SHI.
- Native ServiceNow ticketing between instances.
With the ServiceNow Procurement plugin in place, you start quickly and scale the integration to meet your needs.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
