Integrated supplier catalogs: compliant purchasing made as easy as online shopping

PunchOut lets employees shop a vendor's online catalog from within Fraxion. At checkout, the cart transfers back into Fraxion as a purchase requisition, complete with vendor and line-item detail, ready for budget checks and approval.

Fraxion connects to 50+ integrated PunchOut vendors, including Amazon Business, Grainger, ZAGENO, Staples, Office Depot, and ThermoFisher. For organizations with preferred vendors not already on the list, Fraxion works with any cXML-enabled supplier to build a custom PunchOut connection, so your existing supplier relationships are not disrupted by the move to governed purchasing.

If your preferred vendor supports cXML, the standard protocol for PunchOut catalog integration, Fraxion can typically build the connection. Fraxion also supports internal catalog hosting for pre-negotiated vendors and Amazon Business through PunchIn, so most purchasing scenarios are covered across one or more catalog channels.

Purchasing directly on a vendor website bypasses budget checks, approval workflows, policy controls, and the audit trail entirely. With Fraxion PunchOut, the same familiar shopping experience routes through your procurement controls, every cart becomes a governed requisition, every order is validated and approved before the PO is sent, and every transaction is logged automatically. The buying experience is identical. The governance is built in.
