PunchOut Catalog Software | Fraxion Spend Management

Centralize and streamline purchasing

The process of manually purchasing goods from a supplier's catalog can be time-consuming. If your eProcurement software doesn't support internal catalogs, you might find yourself logging in to an online catalog several times, obtaining quotes and gaining approval before a purchase order can be generated and manually sent to a supplier. Even with an in-house catalog connected to your procurement system, the catalog may not reflect accurate pricing or stock availability, leading to additional emails and phone call enquiries.

Wouldn't it be great if you could navigate from your purchase request directly to a supplier's online catalog in real time, add items to your cart, and have those items reflect in your purchase request as soon as you check out? With a PunchOut catalog software integration, you can do exactly that!

What is PunchOut catalog software? It’s a solution that enables you to purchase from a supplier's website from within a buyer's eProcurement software application.
