Better control, visibility, and improved supplier on-boarding are the driving factors behind CoreXpand’s PunchOut WizardTM.

This automated, online vendor catalog solution is perfectly suited for purchasing organizations looking to maximize the spend management advantages of
e-Procurement systems.

That’s because the PunchOut WizardTM is not a “one-size-fits-all” tool. It is customized to your exact PunchOut and Hosted Catalog specifications.

Finally… you can eliminate the back and forth hassle of setting up your vendor CIF file spreadsheets correctly.

You can also enjoy complete peace-of-mind, knowing your vendor’s PunchOuts are backed by CoreXpand’s innovative PunchOutCX technology.

With this remarkable breakthrough, you can now enjoy 100% contract compliance assurance, instant reporting, state-of-the-art functionality, universal supplier on-boarding capability and much more.



Your supplier selects a PunchOut catalog template from the approved options you identify, then customizes it with approved products, prices and other functions according to your business requirements.



CoreXpand generates the PunchOut catalog based on the parameters selected, and connects the new “storefront” to your e-procurement system.


You select and purchase your products from the PunchOut catalog with the safety, convenience, and preferred workflow routings of your e-procurement system.

The PunchOut WizardTM gives your vendors an easy, step-by-step process for creating PunchOuts and Hosted Catalogs that are automatically built according to your precise requirements, workflow routing, and preferences.
Intuitive, 8-Step process for your vendors

CoreXpand’s PunchOut WizardTM streamlines the on-boarding process, removing the confusion and labor intensive hassles often associated with creating PunchOut catalogs.

This means that vendors of any size or technical ability can now set up a PunchOut that is perfectly compatible with your system.

And with PunchOutCX functionality behind the scenes, vendors can easily manage their catalogs with an intuitive interface, allowing them to quickly adapt when/if your needs change.

CoreXpand’s PunchOut WizardTM also provides clean, easy-to-navigate graphic templates designed with the buyer in mind (vendor’s can also upload their own graphic template if you prefer).
There are 8 simple steps to creating a punchout catalog site
8 simple steps, with no IT staff required… supplier onboarding has never been so fast, easy, and affordable.

All formatting verified and protocols in place before you receive the files...
Vendors can upload their catalog files at the click of a button.

Catalog data is then checked for proper formatting (based on your file requirements), and passed to your purchasing staff for upload ONLY after the correct file format is verified.

This saves your purchasing staff enormous amounts of time and effort, allowing them to focus on the more important tasks associated with your organizations purchasing needs.


Manage product data through xls, xml, cif and a variety of other formats
You’ll never again have to worry about technical hassles, labor intensive steps, or time wasted getting vendor catalogs right.

Every step ensures vendor catalogs meet your exact purchasing needs...

Shipping criteria can be matched to your process flows
Once the catalog is uploaded and the site template has been chosen your CoreXpand’s PunchOut WizardTM also manages the set-up of your vendor’s ordering requirements. Order management can be restricted to your process and approval requirements

Everything, from shipping and taxes to order delivery methods, product category setup (per your preferences of course), and of course, your special product pricing based on your contracts/agreements.

Every detail is handled with lightning fast, intuitive point and click convenience.



Now you can start benefitting from vendor PunchOut catalogs in a fraction of the time it used to take...

Once your vendor completes the simple 8-step process, CoreXpand’s PunchOut WizardTM immediately generates their new PunchOut Catalog site.
