An Introduction to PunchOut
This video showcases the Sherwin-Williams PunchOut catalog with additional examples on how to locate the catalog within a few procurement systems.WHAT IS PUNCHOUT?
- PunchOut is the term used to describe the link between a procurement system (e.g., Yardi MarketPlace, OpsTechnology) and Sherwin-Williams.com
- National Account customers in particular are most likely to use a procurement system to order supplies for their properties.
- Offering PunchOut to these accounts provides a website experience that enables customers to search and order from their custom catalog through a user-friendly experience that mirrors a consumer ecommerce site.
- Enabling a link between that procurement system and S-W.com allows for faster, easier, friendlier, more personalized purchasing.
HOW PUNCHOUT WORKS
- Instead of shopping, browsing and purchasing Sherwin-Williams products within a procurement platform like Ariba, you are able to “punch out” into a new window.
- That new PunchOut window displays a version of Sherwin-Williams.com customized specifically for you.
- After products are selected for purchase, Sherwin-Williams.com transmits order details back to the procurement system, where you can route purchases for approval, just as many of you do today.
Below is a detailed PDF guide that breaks it down step-by-step explaining the process needed to complete a purchase order using the Sherwin-Williams PunchOut catalog.
