PunchOut Catalogs

What PunchOut Catalogs does

PunchOut Catalogs (Punchout Catalogs, LLC) is a US-based B2B eCommerce integration company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida with a Cleveland, Ohio office. The company builds a cloud-based Punchout gateway — branded as the Punchout Cloud API — that translates between supplier eCommerce stores and buyer eProcurement/ERP systems using the cXML, OCI, CBL, and UBL procurement standards. Pre-built native extensions are published on the Magento Marketplace, Shopify App Store, BigCommerce App Store, and SAP App Center, alongside a Custom PunchOut Cloud API that supports any eCommerce platform, allowing suppliers on Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, and Spryker to become punchout-enabled with a plug-in rather than a custom integration.

The product supports the full punchout document lifecycle — carts, purchase orders, advanced shipment notices, and invoices — and is certified against the major enterprise procurement platforms including Coupa, SAP Ariba, Jaggaer, Workday, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Ivalua, and GEP. Founded by procurement consultants active in punchout since 1999, PunchOut Catalogs has positioned itself as a category pioneer and is now part of the BuyerQuest network.

Revenue is generated primarily through SaaS subscription licenses sold per connection, with each connection configurable to support up to four document types (Carts, POs, Shipments/ASN, Invoices). Distribution is hybrid: direct sales for mid-market and enterprise deals via a "Talk to Sales" funnel, plus self-serve marketplace listings for SMB suppliers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; a free trial is offered on the BigCommerce app. The go-to-market pivoted in 2020 from custom punchout services toward standardized plug-ins distributed through eCommerce platform marketplaces.
