PunchOut Capability - Punchout Catalog Solutions for Customers

DSSI supports OCI and cXML PunchOut transactions for catalog integration and cXML and EDI transactions for purchase order and invoice integration.

DSSI's Punchout solution provides easy access to a "managed" catalog. DSSI's Epic® application integrates with the customer's e-Procurement system using either the OCI or cXML format supporting secure purchasing transactions.
