Integrate your own ERP to make shopping online with ATOM a breeze. Browse your contract items and pricing and enjoy the same detailed product information, all through your existing procurement software.

A PunchOut catalogue is an efficient method for you to buy from ATOM’s website from within your own procurement application or hosted E Procurement system. PunchOut electronic catalogues allow you to control spend and manage purchasing approvals and workflows whilst providing you with the most up to date and accurate product information.

An online PunchOut catalogue has the special ability to communicate directly with a procurement system through cXML or Open Catalog Interface (OCI) and return a pending purchase order back to you! That means don't need to re-enter product information into your procurement system.

When using PunchOut, the following steps take place:

1. Punch out of your ERP system to enter the ATOM website
2. Choose the relevant products which display your pricing, imagery and item details
3. The cart is sent back into your ERP system and a purchase requisition is raised
4. The requisition is approved following your approval flows and the purchase order is raised
5. The purchase order is then sent through to ATOM

ATOM has years of experience implementing PunchOut catalogues into all major E Procurement Softwares such as SAP, Oracle, GEP, Ariba and Coupa, so the team is on hand to help you set up, test and launch in no time.

With a PunchOut system, you’ve got all of the perks of shopping online ATOM all through your existing procurement software:

• Search and browse the ATOM product catalogue.
• Search by UNSPSC code, if required.
• View your product range, with product information and imagery.
• See your contract pricing on products.
• Purchase your customer-specific products, such as company-branded work shirts.
• Use requisition lists and previously saved carts to quickly fill your cart and reorder – with the ability to save multiple requisition lists.

Use Electronic Data Interchange to remove touchpoints, sending orders and invoices automatically. Enjoy the great features of online procurement with ATOM integrated into your own system.

EDI is a method of exchanging information between you and ATOM using an electronic format, with all documents translated into a standard format that both parties can read. With EDI technology, the order goes straight through to ATOM which means no manual handling of documents such as purchase orders, invoices and delivery notes, is required, which saves you time, money and hassle. Increasingly we are seeing more of our customers seeking direct integrations with us through EDI.  ATOM has a wealth of experience completing EDI integrations and has partnered with a trusted B2B eCommerce platform to make sure the process is as smooth as possible, not complex, and time consuming as integrations are believed to be. Whether your requirements are basic or cover full purchase order, order exchange, quoting and invoice exchange – ATOM has the capability and technology to enable this.

The benefits of this seamless procure-to-pay solution include:

• Specific, personalised catalogues of products tailored to your needs. Include or exclude products as necessary
• Fixed pricing
• Limited physical paper trail
• Orders and invoices sent electronically automatically, eliminating data entry and leaving less room for human error whilst saving you time
• Your accounts team can process on the day it suits them as invoices are sent through once ATOM’s warehouse has processed them
• Fully bespoke solution that is customisable to your needs
