Centralise your purchases
The punch out and centralisation of purchasing offer major advantages for a buyer.
This system provides direct access to supplier catalogues, simplifying the purchasing process. Centralisation improves expenditure control and optimises costs. It provides better visibility of purchases, standardises procedures and ensures greater compliance.
In short, buyers gain in efficiency, strategy and savings.
Accelerate your processes
Punching out and centralising purchasing speeds up processes for buyers by automating repetitive tasks.
Direct access to supplier catalogues eliminates manual data entry. Approvals are simplified thanks to predefined workflows. Standardised procedures reduce processing time.
As a result, buyers can concentrate on higher added-value tasks, such as negotiation and strategic analysis.
Reduce errors
Punching out and centralising purchasing reduces the processes for a buyer by simplifying the purchasing cycle.
Integrated catalogues eliminate multiple searches and reduce the number of interactions. Automated ordering eliminates manual steps and approvals are streamlined using predefined rules.
This optimisation enables the buyer to manage purchases more efficiently, with fewer steps and less complexity.

Any questions ? We got the answers !
What is punch out and how does it work?
Punch out is an electronic purchasing system that allows users to access suppliers’ catalogues directly from their own purchasing system. Users temporarily ‘punch out’ of their system to select items, then return with a full basket to finalise the order.
What are the main benefits of punching out for a company?
Benefits include reduced data entry errors, access to negotiated prices in real time, improved compliance with purchasing policies, reduced order processing time and increased visibility of spend.
How does punch out fit in with Weproc?
The punch out is generally integrated using standard protocols such as cXML or OCI. It connects to the existing purchasing system, enabling a fluid flow of data between the supplier’s catalogue and the company’s internal system.
What types of company can benefit most from a punch out?
Large companies with large and varied purchasing volumes particularly benefit. However, any organisation looking to optimise its purchasing processes and improve spending control can benefit from punch out.
What are the key stages in setting up a punch-out system?
The stages include: needs assessment, selection of compatible suppliers, technical configuration of the system, integration with the existing purchasing system, user training, and testing of the system before full deployment.
