Where teams put PunchProxy to work.
Different problems, one layer. Here are the jobs procurement and integration teams hire PunchProxy to do.
Accelerate slow supplier onboarding
Turn a months-long reconciliation slog into an afternoon. Intercept, map and validate the round trip live — without waiting on the supplier’s dev cycle or reconciling UOM, UNSPSC and code mismatches by email.
Unify multi-context account routing
Hundreds of locations, regions or operating units, each with its own account IDs, GL strings and brands? Resolve the right identity automatically based on who is buying and where — no separate connection per account.
Give buyers one consistent experience
Collect the account or region you need on one screen you control — the same for every supplier. Add a location and set its account on your side, with a real SLA, instead of waiting on the supplier to figure out what it means.
Train your team in a safe sandbox
Use the mock storefront with auto ASN/invoice generation to rehearse your whole rollout and let end users try real scenarios — no live suppliers, no real money. Accelerate your own UAT.
Onboard the suppliers who can’t do punchout
Some suppliers will only ever send a flat file or an EDI 810. Convert it once and feed structured invoices to your host — skip the manual keying without buying OCR or a full AP suite. (See the ROI calculator.)
A way in for hard-to-connect suppliers
If you’re a supplier that’s tough to integrate with, PunchProxy is your off-ramp — give a customer you were losing a clean way to transact. The single-supplier tier sells to suppliers, not just buyers.
Compress months into an afternoon
Instead of trading test files back and forth for weeks, sit in the middle of the punchout and map, translate and validate the round trip live. The integration that used to define a quarter’s roadmap becomes a working session — and it’s not your team that was slow, it was the gap between two systems.
Talk through your scenarioOne identity for every context
Hundreds of locations, regions or operating units — each with their own account IDs, GL strings and brands — resolved automatically based on who is buying and where. Resolve an account as its own value and retire the location-as-account and identity-as-account workarounds for good.
Talk through your scenarioRehearse the rollout, train the people
A built-in storefront with auto ASN/invoice generation lets your team exercise punchout, cart return and PO flows on day one — and lets end users practice real scenarios in a safe sandbox with no live suppliers and no real money. Accelerate your own UAT instead of waiting on someone else’s environment.
Talk through your scenarioOnboard the suppliers who can’t do punchout
Some suppliers will never stand up a cXML endpoint — but they can send a flat file or an EDI 810. Convert it once and feed structured invoices into your host, so you stop paying people to key them by hand. We’re not OCR and not full AP automation — and if your supplier can make a flat file, you don’t need either.
