How Do Vinimaya PunchOut Catalog Transactions Work?

When compared to traditional eCommerce experiences, PunchOut’s main differentiation is that the end-user won’t have to navigate through a normal checkout process. PunchOut Catalogs allow users from within the Vinimaya eProcurement system to PunchOut and be authenticated into the reseller’s / supplier’s eCommerce application.

So, how do PunchOut transactions happen? These five steps illustrate the entire process:

1. User Logs In To The Vinimaya eProcurement Storefront

The first step is to log into the Vinimaya eProcurement storefront. Once you’ve logged in, proceed to select the icon or link to your Vinimaya PunchOut catalog. This will lead you straight into your Vinimaya homepage, which is housed in a friendly user interface tool app for easy and efficient browsing and selecting a product.

2. Search For Products

On the Vinimaya Homepage, you can search for products under different categories listed within the catalog. One way is to search for products by using the search bar and entering your component number or product description. As you type, the catalog will help you by recommending products based on your search.

3. Add Your Products

The “Quick Order” feature allows you to quickly add a product straight to your cart. Simply type in the component number followed by a comma and the quantity and click the “Add to Cart” icon. You will then have your product added directly to your cart. From here, either move through the cart or go back to continue shopping for products.

4. Transfer Cart Back To User’s eProcurement System

Once you are directed to your cart page, you will see an overview of the products that you’ve added, along with their quantity, availability and price information. You can change the quantity by clicking the plus or minus icon or simply typing in a new quantity. Don’t forget to click the “Refresh icon” to set the quantity you’ve changed. After ensuring your cart is correct, you are ready to move on and check out. On clicking “Check Out”, your cart is punched out back to your Vinimaya eProcurement storefront where you can validate the details of your order.

5. Approval and Order Fulfillment

Ultimately, a Purchase Order Requisition will be created in the Vinimaya eProcurement system. Once approved, that PO would get sent to the vendor to fulfill and automate the process. So, this is how Vinimaya PunchOut Catalog provides a simple and reliable procure-to-pay transaction process. But there’s more to the benefits of PunchOuts.

How Vinimaya PunchOut Catalogs Improve Buyers and Sellers’ Communication?

Earlier, eProcurement vendor catalogs were limited to the basic spreadsheet style of product listings. These cumbersome line-item lists of product data forced buyers to search through millions of products in thousands of look-alike catalogs to find what they needed.

The advent of PunchOut catalogs simplified the procurement process allowing suppliers to differentiate themselves while giving greater convenience to the buyer and the administrators.
