Punch-out
Punch-out website is an online B2B e-commerce site that a buyer can access from their own procurement system. Punch-out websites require an integration between the buyer’s e-procurement system and the supplier’s website. We have the knowledge and expertise to help customers with such projects.
The advantages of punch-out enabled catalogue ordering include:
- Improved ordering experience – rich product descriptions and images
- Real time information – products, pricing and delivery information
- Order accuracy – eliminate errors introduced with manual ordering
- Compliance – removes ‘rogue spending’ i.e. off contract lines
