Realize cXML PunchOut easily with avanta
The avanta cXML PunchOut module is part of the avanta B2B e-commerce platform. It is designed for companies that want to provide their customers with a functioning PunchOut catalog quickly and easily.
Your customer demands cXML.
And now?
Your customer would like to order from you via their procurement or ERP system in the future and requires a cXML PunchOut catalog.
Suddenly questions arise: How complex is this? What does it mean technically? And will it turn into a major project?
This is not the case with avanta. cXML PunchOut is standard, clearly structured and tried and tested. You concentrate on your products - avanta provides the stable PunchOut catalog for your customer.
Briefly explained
What actually happens
with cXML PunchOut
- Your customer starts the purchase directly from their own procurement or ERP system.
- They access your online catalog.
- They build their cart as usual.
- The cart is then transferred back to their ordering system.
- There, your customer continues their internal ordering process as usual.
How cXML PunchOut changes the way you work with your customers
With cXML PunchOut
A cXML PunchOut catalog makes purchasing much easier for your customers and much more efficient for you:
- Your customer initiates your online catalog directly from their system (PunchOut = initiate)
- Your customer always sees the latest products, prices and product ranges
- The shopping cart is automatically returned to your customer's system
- No catalog files, no manual imports
- Less coordination, fewer errors, less friction
- Significantly better shopping experience for your customer
- And the most important argument: cXML PunchOut creates customer loyalty
Without cXML-PunchOut
Without a PunchOut catalog, the only option is often to use catalog files, exports and manual maintenance. In practice, this means
- You have to manually provide your customer with digital catalogs on a regular basis
- Product data, prices and product ranges must be constantly reconciled
- Your customer has to import and maintain this data
- no live information on availability or changes
- Your customer cannot order additional items from your range
- High coordination effort on both sides
- Error-prone, slow and not very convenient
With avanta cXML is simple
Your customers can configure the cXML connection themselves so easily.

Which systems can be connected?
cXML is an internationally widespread standard for punch-out and procurement processes in the e-procurement environment. This is precisely why, in principle, all procurement systems and also many ERP systems with cXML support can be connected.
If a customer specifically asks for a cXML PunchOut catalog, you can generally assume that their system also supports this standard. The decisive factor is not the specific system, but the support of the cXML standard and this is exactly what the avanta cXML PunchOut module is designed for.
