How it works

One intelligent layer between host and supplier.

The same wire-format-agnostic engine handles setup, cart returns and orders — so what you test is exactly what ships.

1

Intercept

PunchProxy becomes the address your host points to. It transparently sits in the middle of every punchout, setup, cart return and order — with no changes to your host or your supplier.

2

Translate & enrich

Rewrite units of measure, UNSPSC codes, location IDs and extrinsics on the fly — and resolve an account as its own value instead of smuggling it inside a location ID or identity. Enrich each transaction with the account, brand, region or GL context your business needs.

3

Validate & route

Check the wire against your own rules, restore context across the round trip, and route to the right account and location — then forward a clean, validated payload to the supplier.

Total control

Edit the wire while the call is live.

Watch real cXML flow through in real time — both directions, including the transactions that succeed (the payloads other systems never show you). Tweak a translation rule and instantly see the exact payload the supplier will receive, before it ever leaves your network.

No more guessing what the vendor got. No more permanent code on either end. The transformation that used to take a quarter happens in front of you.

Built like infrastructure

The thing your IT team can actually approve.

A dual-plane design separates where you configure from where traffic runs — so you get safety and speed without compromise, zero-downtime updates, and a footprint built to survive a security review.

Control plane

Configure with confidence

A rich workspace where you model translations, account routing, validations and enrichment. Every change is structured and validated before it ever touches live traffic.

Data plane

Run at the edge

Your validated rules compile into a flat, in-memory engine tuned for millisecond latency. No admin surface, no overhead — purely a fast, secure translation conduit, deployable failover / load-balanced.

Single-tenant by construction

Your own cluster, database and routing snapshot. No shared multi-tenant store, no cross-customer data — isolation you can hand to your security team.

Enterprise-grade resiliency

The same dual-plane design runs failover / load-balanced, so the layer is built to keep transacting — the way you would architect anything in the procurement critical path.

Lean, audited dependencies

No kitchen-sink libraries. A small, reviewable footprint your IT department can actually read top to bottom before they bless it.

Engineered, not generated

AI-assisted development under human-dictated policy, governance and automated regression testing. It reads like infrastructure — not "AI slop."

Capabilities

Everything you need to tame supplier integrations.

Lighter than iPaaS. More capable than a one-off script. Purpose-built for cXML.

See-the-wire workspace

Watch raw inbound, an editable middle and modified outbound side by side in real time — and capture the payloads that succeed, not just the errors other systems show you.

Edit while testing

Pause live traffic, change the one value that’s wrong, re-apply and transmit — iteratively, without leaving the call. Save a fix once and it sticks through the whole test cycle.

In-flight translation engine

Rewrite UOM, UNSPSC, currency, country, location IDs and extrinsics on the hot path from compiled rules — global or per-supplier, and direction-aware.

Business-logic enrichment

Turn punchout inputs into a published set of known values via any logic you need — and resolve an account as its own value instead of the location-as-account workaround.

A consistent data waypoint

Collect account, region or facility on one screen you control, the same way for every supplier — set it on your side instead of waiting on the supplier’s form. The context survives to the PO.

Blueprint Studio

A visual wizard builds a blueprint and the engine generates real enrichment code — the tool that builds the tool. Drop to custom JavaScript on your own instance when you need to.

Supplier self-service portal

Suppliers log in via punchout, watch their own traffic both ways, copy and export payloads, set their own translations and self-test — before they ever ping your team.

Simulators & training sandbox

A mock storefront and mock host let you punch out, return carts and synthesize PO / ASN / invoice traffic with no live supplier — so you can rehearse a rollout and train users safely.

Flat-file & EDI invoicing

If a supplier can produce a flat file or an X12 810, you can onboard them for structured invoicing — convert it once and feed clean invoices to your host. (See the invoice ROI calculator.)
