From the suppliers perspective, level 1
PunchOut Catalog enables them to promote their
products. For instance, the supplier can
implement upsell and cross-sell strategies,
display discount offers in PunchOut catalog and
increase sale.However, this purchasing process
can become problematic when the buyer is
connected to multiple suppliers via PunchOut.
This is because when the buyer logs into his
procurement system, he has to browse through each
and every PunchOut catalog provided by individual
suppliers to search the product. This can be
time-consuming and bring inefficiency into the
process. In order to eliminate this time-taking
activity, level 2 PunchOut catalog functionality
has been introduced.
