No Maintaining Hosted Catalogs
From the supplier’s perspective, PunchOut offers plenty of benefits. As we all know, a PunchOut is an integrated external link that allows users to access the supplier’s online catalog. As far as PunchOut benefits are concerned, you don’t have to update hosted catalogs across different buyers. You have to just create one PunchOut catalog and provide access to every buyer according to his requirements. The PunchOut catalog visible to each buyer is customized as per his needs. For instance, the catalog will feature only pre-approved products and pricing as decided in the contract.

Receive Accurate Orders
As a supplier, you will always receive accurate orders from your PunchOut users. PunchOut users have access to up to date information. If any product is discontinued or pricing is changed, it is instantly visible to the buyer. In case of hosted catalogs, it might take days to make product updates available on the buyer side. Hence, with hosted catalogs, there is a high probability of receiving incorrect orders. On the other hand, PunchOut will allow you to make changes in real time. Hence, product updates in a PunchOut solution are available to the user in real time.

Get Paid Faster
As a supplier, your aim would be to improve your accounts receivable by getting paid faster. Well, this is not possible if your ordering process is tedious and time-consuming. In order to better manage your accounts receivable, you need to expedite your ordering and invoicing process. PunchOut allows you to go electronic. Your PunchOut customer can send orders electronically and moreover you too can send electronic invoices.

Better Shopping Experience
Apart from giving customized content to every B2B customer, you can do promotional activities according to the customer’s buying pattern. The look and feel of PunchOut catalog can be designed as per customer’s requirements, thereby giving a unique personalized shopping experience.
