To leverage PunchOut, an account first needs to be assigned and verification carried to allow orders to be automatically transmitted to Bechtle.
What are the benefits?
- Faster access to up-to-date supplier product information
- Automatic transmission of the chosen products to the customer’s system
- No time-consuming manual data entry (information is contained within the linked catalogue so it no longer has to be manually entered into the customer’s system)
- No additional hardware required to transmit data
- No changes to internal procurement process (all verification processes and workflows remain the same)
- No loss of supply control. User management allows certain catalogues to be made available to certain people only
- Automation reduces mistakes. Automatic data transmission eliminates errors such as digit inversion.
How PunchOut works:
It’s also possible to send files via PunchOut, so the following can also be automatically transmitted:
- Order confirmations
- Invoices
- Credit notes
- Shipping notifications
We work with many partners, including:
- SAP ARIBA
- COUPA
- OPUS CAPITA
- WALLMEDIEN
- MERCATEO
- MEPLATO
- SIMPLE SYSTEM
We support more than 40 solutions, but if the customer has set up its own, it’s still possible to leverage the benefits of PunchOut as long as both parties’ technical teams work closely together.
There are also other ways to link up with Bechtle, such as:
- Via an OCI connection
- Using a static catalogue
- PunchOut Level 2
