BuyerQuest Blog Punchout Catalogs and Procure-to-Pay | BuyerQuest

Many purchasing organizations take advantage of punchout catalogs as a method to access their supplier’s product catalog that offers users a more web-based option for purchasing certain items. A punchout catalog is a mechanism where the buyer “punches out” of the ERP, MRP or other purchasing application to the vendor’s website. While there are benefits to using punchout catalogs, leading procurement organizations see the risks and limitations of this model and have taken advantage of alternative options to create a seamless user experience without the need to punch out.
