eCommerce PunchOut
Support complex B2B purchasing with enterprise capability
PunchOut benefits include
Improved accuracy
Buyers are accessing product and pricing data directly from your website. This means up-to-date order information is served in real time to your customer – no more obsolete items, incorrect units of measure, or invoice disputes.
Zero maintenance
With ERP-integrated ecommerce, PunchOut catalogues are kept current without any hands-on maintenance required from you. Rich product content, contract pricing, and stock availability are all seamlessly integrated from your ERP (and back again) as transactions occur.
Contract compliance
Increasingly a B2B prerequisite, many enterprise organisations will refuse to do business with sellers who can’t offer them PunchOut. It’s a powerful part of any B2B ecommerce offering where large corporate customers are concerned.
Order automation
Large customers generating purchase orders in their ERP won’t re-enter the order on your website. Instead, PunchOut users will send you their purchase order via EDI, or perhaps email it as a PDF. This is a perfect opportunity to leverage automation such as Lucy to streamline your order processing.
Faster order-to-cash
PunchOut gives buyers the security of knowing they maintain control of their buying process. Positive flow-on effects include speedier approval, streamlined fulfilment, fewer invoice disputes. A better buying experience means better retention, as PunchOut customers make you preferred supplier.
