Why more workwear buyers are turning to punchouts for faster, simpler ordering
As digital ordering becomes the norm in B2B, companies are looking for smarter ways to streamline procurement — and PunchOut integrations are leading the charge.
We’re seeing a growing number of workwear customers requesting PunchOuts as part of their setup. And it’s easy to see why: PunchOuts allow buyers to shop directly from their supplier’s catalogue (like ePro) without ever leaving their own procurement system.
It’s the perfect balance between control and convenience — and it’s changing the way workwear is ordered online.
🔄 What is a punchout?
A PunchOut is a connection between your ecommerce system (like ePro) and your customer’s internal procurement or ERP system (e.g. Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle, Jaggaer).
Instead of logging into a separate website, buyers “punch out” from their system, browse your live product catalog inside your ecommerce platform, and then send their shopping cart straight back into their system for approval and PO generation.
💡 Why are more customers using punchouts?
We’ve seen a steady rise in PunchOut requests from customers who want:
Fewer steps in the ordering process
Better visibility into spend and usage
Integration with internal workflows and approvals
No need to learn new websites or layouts
For buyers who know exactly what they need — and already have approved suppliers and product lists — PunchOuts make ordering lightning fast and seamless.
⚙️ Punchout vs. Traditional webshops
So, what’s the difference between using a PunchOut and a standard webshop?
For large companies or public sector buyers, the difference is night and day. PunchOuts allow them to stay within their own systems — reducing training time, errors, and friction.
