PunchOut integration for B2B

The buyer accesses the products, prices, and terms provided for them from their own procurement system. The assembled shopping cart goes back to their procurement system and is processed further there according to internal ordering and approval processes.

ECOPLAN takes into account the requirements of the customer's respective procurement platform, for example SAP Ariba, Coupa, JAGGAER, or Onventis.

For suppliers, PunchOut offers stronger customer loyalty, less manual order effort, a direct digital sales channel, and scalability for additional customers. On the supplier side, PunchOut is connected to the ERP and company systems.

Buyers continue to work in their familiar purchasing processes and do not enter data multiple times. They see customer-specific terms, and transfer errors become less frequent.

ECOPLAN implements PunchOut based on proven standards and existing integration building blocks. This means OCI and cXML integrations can usually be implemented efficiently and, if needed, extended to additional customers, procurement platforms, or companies. On the supplier side, PunchOut is connected to the ERP and company systems, so that prices, product ranges, and availability come from the leading systems.

PunchOut is in demand mainly where key accounts purchase through e-procurement systems, for example for tools, C-parts, spare parts, technical supplies, or consumables. ECOPLAN has implemented PunchOut, for example, for Diebold Nixdorf via cXML and for Gühring via OCI and cXML.
