Your catalog, inside their procurement platform. With a shopping experience they’ll actually enjoy.
Enterprise hotel chains, management companies, and large buyers mandate procurement platforms. If your catalog isn’t connected, you don’t compete. Confinus connects you — and gives buyers a rich ordering experience when they arrive.
No connection, no business.
Large buyers don’t call reps to order. They don’t use your website. They order through their procurement platform — BirchStreet, Coupa, Workday, or one of half a dozen others. Every PO, every approval, every receiving document flows through that system.
If your catalog isn’t inside that platform with live pricing, buyers literally cannot order from you. Your competitor who’s already connected gets every order you can’t.
From their platform to your storefront and back
Buyer starts a PunchOut session
From inside their procurement platform, the buyer selects your company and launches a session. Confinus handles the handshake automatically.
They land in a rich shopping experience
Not a bare-bones product list. A full branded storefront with search, categories, product images, and their contract pricing — powered by Confinus. This is the part that sets you apart from competitors with a basic catalog feed.
They build their order and check out
Add items to cart, adjust quantities, see estimated totals. The experience feels like modern e-commerce, even though it’s running inside a procurement workflow.
The cart transfers back for approval
When they’re done, the order transfers back into their procurement platform as a purchase requisition. It flows through their approval workflow. The PO lands in Confinus like any other order.
Most PunchOut catalogs are a product list. Yours is a storefront.
Most procurement integrations dump buyers into a flat product grid. Confinus gives them the full experience — search, category browsing, product images, order guides, order history, and their negotiated pricing.
They’re working inside legacy procurement platforms all day. When they punch out to your catalog, they get something that feels modern and easy. That matters for retention.
Same branded storefront your direct buyers use. Same product data. Same pricing engine. PunchOut is just another way in.
Full product search
Not just scrolling a list. Real search across your catalog with filters.
Category browsing
Produce, dairy, proteins, dry goods — organised how restaurant and hotel buyers think.
Contract pricing visible immediately
Buyers see their negotiated prices the moment they arrive. No guesswork.
Order guides for fast reordering

The process is fundamentally the same across platforms. What varies is the specifics — authentication methods, field mappings, extrinsic data handling. Confinus handles the differences so you don’t have to.
Most PunchOut connectors give you a protocol. Confinus gives you the whole operation.
Traditional PunchOut integrations are thin — they connect a catalog to a procurement platform and pass the order through. That’s it. No order management. No delivery scheduling. No finalization. You still need a separate system to actually run the business.
With Confinus, the PunchOut order lands in the same platform you use for every other channel. Review it, finalize catch-weights, manage delivery, sync to your ERP. One system for the full lifecycle — not a connector bolted onto a spreadsheet.
Delivery date selection
Buyers choose their preferred delivery date during the shopping session. Not part of the PunchOut protocol — but part of the Confinus experience.
Order notes and special instructions
Buyers can add notes to orders and individual line items. Captured in Confinus and pushed through to your internal systems.
Order guides through PunchOut
Regular buyers get the same order guide experience through PunchOut as direct buyers. Reorder 150 items in under a minute.
Full order lifecycle
Order confirmation, catch-weight finalization, delivery tracking, ERP sync. The order doesn’t disappear into a CSV — it lives in the platform where you manage everything else.
Every buyer group does it slightly differently. We handle that.
Flexible authentication
Properties can authenticate with their own credentials, share credentials within a group, or use other identifiers. We adapt to how the buying group already works — not the other way around.
Custom extrinsic data
Delivery dates, cost centres, department codes, property identifiers — whatever extra data the platform passes, Confinus captures and maps it into the order. We support any extrinsics the buyer requires.
Per-property pricing and catalogs
Two properties from the same chain can see different catalogs, different prices, and different delivery options. Managed from one place on your side.
Catch-weight through procurement
Variable-weight products priced by the pound, flowing through a procurement platform that expects fixed prices. Confinus handles the translation so buyers see accurate estimates and your invoices reconcile.
Real-time pricing
When a buyer opens your catalog, they see today’s prices. Cost changes reflect immediately. No batch uploads, no stale CSVs.
Configuration, not development
Adding a new platform connection is setup work, not a custom integration project. We’ve built the infrastructure once. Connecting your account is configuration.
