The concept of "PunchOut" originated in 1999, introduced by Ariba (now SAP Ariba) as a method to link ERP applications with eCommerce hubs. This approach earned its name, "PunchOut," because it signifies how users would effectively "punch out" of their procurement applications to access supplier catalogs and then "punch" back in after the checkout process.
At Vurbis, we make it seamless for employees to browse available items on a supplier's website directly through their organization's existing ERP or eProcurement system. We facilitate communication between buyers and sellers, providing specific information such as items, prices, and purchase terms, thus equipping buyers with the knowledge they need to simplify the procurement process.
Vurbis supports organizations of all sizes in streamlining their procurement processes, offering several benefits, including substantial cost savings on B2B purchases through electronic catalogs. PunchOut simplifies and automates the entire process, eliminating manual tasks and ensuring real-time updates for items, prices, and availability. This improves order accuracy and speed and centralizes solutions for streamlined procurement needs.
We deliver our services through the Google Cloud platform, known for its flexibility and seamless integration with various systems. Our services are indispensable to suppliers looking to embrace PunchOut technology, buyers aiming to optimize cost control, eProcurement software vendors seeking to support their customers, and eCommerce professionals, CIOs, web agencies, and eProcurement software developers interested in enhancing their processes, outsourcing IT management, and incorporating PunchOut functionality into their platforms.
