Punch Out Shopping
Punch Out catalogs offer the ability to shop a supplier's eCommerce web site, select items/services, and check-out with the chosen items automatically populating your requisition and/or purchase order system through the eProcurement integration.
A Punch Out catalog integration delivers significant benefits by allowing your end users the ability to search, shop, and select desired items directly from the supplier's eCommerce web site. In most cases the supplier's catalog displays your negotiated contract pricing.
When integrated, the desired items are electronically returned to your purchase requisition system and the order request is routed for approval.
IWT's Contract Catalog can serve as the marketplace enabling a one-stop shop for all hosted and punch-out catalogs. This model results in a single integration between IWT and your purchasing system.
