Simply realize OCI PunchOut with avanta
The avanta OCI PunchOut module is part of the avanta B2B e-commerce platform. It is designed for companies that want to provide their customers with a functioning PunchOut catalog quickly and easily.
Your customer demands OCI.
And now?
Your customer wants to order from you via their ERP system in the future and requires an OCI PunchOut catalog. Suddenly questions arise: How complex is this? What does it mean technically? And will it turn into a major project?
This is not the case with avanta. OCI PunchOut is standard, clearly structured and tried and tested. You concentrate on your products, avanta provides the stable PunchOut catalog for your customer.
Briefly explained
What actually happens at OCI PunchOut
- Your customer starts the purchasing process directly from their own ERP system.
- In doing so, they access your online catalog.
- They build their shopping cart as usual.
- The shopping cart is then transferred back to their ERP system.
- There, your customer continues their internal ordering process as usual.
How OCI PunchOut changes the way you work with your customers
With OCI PunchOut
With an OCI PunchOut catalog, purchasing is much easier for your customer and much more efficient for you:
- Your customer initiates your online catalog directly from their ERP system (PunchOut = initiate)
- Your customer always sees the latest products, prices and product ranges
- The shopping cart is automatically returned to your customer's system
- No catalog files, no manual imports
- Less coordination, fewer errors, less friction
- Significantly better shopping experience for your customer
- And the most important argument: OCI PunchOut creates customer loyalty
Without OCI-PunchOut
Without a PunchOut catalog, the only option is often to use catalog files, exports and manual maintenance. In practice, this means
- You have to manually provide your customer with digital catalogs on a regular basis
- Product data, prices and product ranges must be constantly reconciled
- Your customer has to import and maintain this data
- No live information on availability or changes
- Your customer cannot order additional items from your range
- High coordination effort on both sides
- Error-prone, slow and not very convenient

Which systems can be connected?
OCI is an international standard for the exchange of catalog and shopping cart data. This is precisely why, in principle, any ERP or procurement system with OCI support can be connected.
If a customer specifically asks for an OCI PunchOut catalog, you can generally assume that their ERP system also supports this standard. The decisive factor is not the specific system, but the support of the OCI standard - and this is exactly what the avanta OCI PunchOut module is designed for.
