Automate Fisher Scientific with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:00
    Step 1
    Get order status and tracking for orders placed in the last 30 days.
    Step 2
    Keep the orders that are shipped now and were not shipped on the last run.
    Step 3
    Email you each one with its PO number, items and tracking numbers.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get order status and tracking” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "fishersci.com/get_order_status",
    "input": {
      "status": "shipped",
      "ordered_since": "2026-11-01"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "8841207",
        "po_number": "ACME-LAB-2291",
        "order_date": "2026-11-05",
        "status": "Shipped",
        "items": [
          {
            "catalog_number": "AB-10450",
            "description": "Nitrile gloves, medium, box of 100",
            "quantity": 20,
            "tracking_number": "1Z99X00000000001"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Fisher Scientific’s own options

Fisher Scientific connects to an organization's eProcurement system with a punchout catalog or a hosted catalog, and can send purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices and invoices as EDI, cXML or xCBL. These are set up for the organization through a sales representative. For one account on fishersci.com there is the site itself.

Signing in to Fisher Scientific

Fisher Scientific signs you in with your fishersci.com account and password, and may ask for an extra verification step: a verification button in an email sent to your account's address, or an answer to a personal question. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, emailed verification links are handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Contract pricing needs a business account
Contract prices appear only when your fishersci.com account is linked to your organization's business account. Linking is requested from My Account, and the confirmation usually arrives by email within 24 hours.
Orders may go to an approver first
On a business account, administrators set dollar rules that decide when an order needs approval. A user's order then goes as a requisition to the assigned approver before it is placed.
Punchout carts finish in your own system
Punchout users shop on fishersci.com and then click Return Cart to Purchasing Application, so the order is placed in the eProcurement system. On the Quotes page, the account toggle is not available to punchout users.
Proof of delivery for 2 years
Signed proof of delivery documents can be retrieved for 2 years from Order Details. A superuser can toggle between account numbers to see every order placed within the organization.
