cXML-PunchOut
Open XML protocol for Punchout catalogs with bidirectional ERP synchronization independent of the manufacturer.
cXML-Punchout allows buyers from B2B e-commerce stores to return to their procurement system after they have checked the shopping cart and conditions - perfectly implemented in our avanta platform. It synchronizes orders bidirectionally with the supplier ERP (technology: ERP-First) and standardizes the entire punchout process.
Typical functions
Complete shopping cart transmission, release integration and order confirmation are automated - see function overview. cXML ideally complements OCI-Punchout for customers with various ERP systems.
Advantages for B2B companies
Major international customers integrate seamlessly, making order automation globally scalable and eliminating manual processes. You can see successful implementations in our references.
Differentiation from OCI-PunchOut
cXML-Punchout is system-independent and flexible for all procurement solutions, while OCI-Punchout remains strictly SAP-optimized. cXML wins in multi-ERP environments.
Practical example / industries
A tool manufacturer supplies standard parts to customers worldwide via cXML punchout so that buyers can order directly from different systems (industry: tools/standard parts). Supplemented by a spare parts service, the result is scalable self-service procurement.
