E-procurement at Digitec Galaxus – for seamless B2B ordering
Let’s be honest: nobody enjoys manually copying and pasting orders. Especially not when there’s an easier way. Digitec Galaxus can be integrated directly into your existing system using standardised interfaces that communicate smoothly with your infrastructure. Ordering made simple – as it should be.
The key: punchout
Punchout may sound like something that belongs in a boxing ring. In reality, it’s a smart technical move; a bridge between your purchasing system and our shop that allows you to punch out of your system, fill your cart in our shop and then transfer it right back to your system to complete your order. No disruptions, no copy-pasting, no typing things out – no unnecessary manual labour. Below are the available options.
OCI (Open Catalogue Interface)
This is a classic among software catalogues – flexible and reliable.
- Supports versions 3, 4 and 5
- Punchout Level 1
- Supports custom parameters
- UNSPSC / eClass
Ariba Punchout (via cXML)
This one’s for anyone using the SAP Ariba ecosystem.
- Punchout Level 1
- Dynamic UNSPSC codes
After the punchout: data transfer
Once punchout is set up, you can automate your entire ordering and invoicing process. That means sending out the purchase order and receiving the order response and invoice – no human effort required. This saves time, nerves and reduces errors. There are three ways your documents can reach their destination:
1. Directly from your ERP or e-procurement system
If your system is able to send and receive documents directly, everything runs via our partner Conextrade. In this case, you get:
- Secure, standardised transmission
- Support for ORDERS, ORDRSP and INVOIC
- Formats such as EDIFACT, IDOC and HTTPS
2. Via your own EDI provider
In this scenario, we use Conextrade to connect to your EDI provider. There’s practically no change for you – except that Digitec Galaxus is now integrated into your setup. Your benefits:
- No new interface required
- Your existing infrastructure remains in place
- Standards work as usual
3. Via the SAP Ariba Network
In this case, everything runs via the Ariba Network – from your first click to the invoice. Everything stays within the same system and is neatly documented. You get:
- Transfer via cXML
- Standardised Ariba formats
- Seamless, transparent processes
