Punchout, an electronic catalog belonging to the family of e-procurement solutions, offers the user a purchasing experience, unlike EDI, which simply consists of exchanging digital files.
It is part of an approach to centralising and dematerialising commercial transactions between a company/organisation/institution and its suppliers. It refers to the connection between your purchasing environment and our web-based solution. This link provides access to negotiated contractual conditions, and enables purchase requisitions to be transferred to your own validation environment.
Updated in real time, this dynamic catalog system enables purchasing departments to increase efficiency and save precious time.
The "punchout" electronic catalog is accessible via an interface between your purchasing solution and our website.
From this ergonomic and personalised interface, your employees have access to your negotiated offer, choose their products and add them to a basket, which can then be retrieved in your e-purchasing solution in the form of a "purchase request".
This operation follows the predefined validation circuit and is then transformed into an order.
