How a Leading Wholesale Distributor Enhanced The B2B Customer Experience with TradeCentric
A leading wholesale distributor wanted to improve its B2B procurement experience by replacing a legacy PunchOut program with a more capable solution. The primary goal was to become a preferred vendor for buyers who expected low-friction onboarding to a streamlined procurement experience integrated with their eProcurement solution.
With the TradeCentric Platform, the company can now easily connect with any buyer’s eProcurement solution, fulfilling buyers’ expectations of seamless connected commerce.

Everything you need to know about our products and packages.
Adopt a managed integration layer that normalizes cXML, OCI, EDI, and JSON into one reusable connection. The TradeCentric Platform handles mapping, testing, monitoring, and version changes, so you scale to many buyers without rebuilding. Pair with PunchOut to standardize the buying experience across systems.
Embed your catalog, pricing, and contracts directly inside buyer workflows to remove friction and enforce compliance. PunchOut makes you the default purchase path, shortening sales cycles and improving renewals. Add eQuote to turn negotiated quotes into approved, system-compliant carts.
Touchless POs eliminate rekeying errors, trigger instant acknowledgments, and surface exceptions before fulfillment. Fewer wrong SKUs and ship-tos means fewer “where is my order?” tickets. TradeCentric PO Automation reduces manual touches while preserving a full audit trail.
Validated orders flow straight to enterprise resource planning (ERP) or warehouse management systems, enabling earlier pick/pack and reducing holds from UoM or pricing mismatches. Line-level checks and business rules increase perfect-order rates while acknowledgments and advanced shipping notices keep teams synchronized. Result: faster cycle times and cleaner inventory.
Use PunchOut to restrict purchases to approved items, suppliers, and prices. Integrate POs and invoices to support three-way match, cost-center controls, and a complete audit trail. TradeCentric unifies this through PunchOut, PO Automation, and Invoice Automation.
