Prophet 21 ERP PunchOut Integration via Triactive Phoenix
cXML PunchOut is a protocol that allows buyers to connect directly from their procurement system to a supplier’s eCommerce website. Rather than browsing through a catalog hosted in their ERP or procurement platform, the buyer is “punched out” to the supplier’s site, shops in real time, then transfers their cart back to the procurement system as a requisition.
This seamless process reduces errors, ensures current pricing and availability, and speeds up purchasing for both buyers and suppliers. It’s especially popular among companies using procurement systems like SAP Ariba, Coupa, or Jaggaer.
For distributors running Prophet 21 ERP, implementing PunchOut integration can unlock new enterprise-level customers who require this capability to do business. Large organizations—especially those using SAP ERP and Ariba for procurement—demand PunchOut-ready suppliers. Without it, they simply won’t consider placing orders.
Here’s how it works:- Your customer opens their procurement system (like SAP Ariba).
- They initiate a PunchOut session that loads your Phoenix eCommerce site.
- They browse real-time products, pricing, and availability—pulled directly from your Prophet 21 ERP.
- After building a cart, they "punch back" into their procurement system with the order data.
- Their internal approval process continues from there.
- Real-time inventory and pricing from your P21 system
- Seamless user experience for your customers
- Fewer errors and manual entries
- Faster order cycle
- Easier compliance with large customer procurement requirements
