Another frequently asked question we get is “How fast can you setup a Punchout Catalog? My customer wants me setup within 30 days!”‚ The answer to this is, how fast do you need it?‚ In some cases we have setup a Punchout Catalog in one day. Ideally we like to advise 30 days to perfect any design issues and do a full round of testing, but if you use our standard Punchout Catalog template and provide your inventory the same day, we can have you up and running in as little as one day.
The normal timeline of non-rushed Punchout Catalog is about 30-60 days. Some eProcurement companies advise 6-8 weeks once ready. Our service level agreements are much more agressive and strive to complete every Punchout within 30 days. Very often we are waiting on your client to perform any testing, issue electronic purchase orders or review any test invoices. We’re also dependent on vacations and sick days at the e-Procurement software company, your client, your office and ours.
