Bring vendor catalog shopping into Maximo.
Let Maximo users launch vendor catalogs, build carts, return accurate order lines, and send purchase orders electronically through punchout and cXML workflows.
Buying parts should not require guessing, copying, and rekeying.
Maximo users often need to find parts from supplier catalogs, confirm current pricing, identify the right item, and get accurate order details back into a purchase request or purchase order.
Punchout Shopping gives users a guided way to shop vendor catalogs from Maximo, return structured cart details, and reduce the manual cleanup that happens when catalog information lives outside the procurement workflow.
Punchout helps with:
- Vendor catalog access from Maximo
- Supplier pricing and availability lookup
- Cleaner item and order-line details
- Reduced manual entry and copy/paste work
- Electronic PO transmission
- Marketplace and supplier catalog workflows
From Maximo request to vendor catalog and back.
