Technical improvements & new features: All new features at a glance

We are continuously developing and improving PunchCommerce. We are always happy to receive feedback from our customers, which has enabled us to implement new functions and make improvements in recent weeks.

Extension of the CIF catalogues with the supplier URL

We have added an additional field for the supplier URL within the CIF catalogues. This allows customers to be forwarded directly from the catalogue to the corresponding online shop.

Detail page for the Level 2 PunchOut from Ariba for Gateway customers

Customers searching for products within SAP Ariba can jump directly to a specific product page in the online shop. This improves user guidance as fewer clicks are required. At the same time, the visibility of the products directly in Ariba is increased.

New gateway endpoint for session validation

By introducing a new gateway endpoint for session validation, we can now check the validity of sessions more efficiently. This increases both the security and stability of the connection. Detailed information can be found here.

Revision of the instruction documents for OCI and cXML PunchOut customers

Our instruction documents now contain even more detailed explanations to make the steps easier to understand. Among other things, we have updated the technical descriptions and improved the step-by-step instructions.

Payment by SEPA direct debit now possible

Until recently, payment for the use of PunchCommerce was only possible by invoice, but with the new SEPA direct debit option, we enable smooth and ideally automated accounting.

Improved display of field names in the field mapping tool

Creating custom fields was not intuitive for some customers. We have therefore improved the display of field names in the field mapping tool to make it easier to use.

Creation of large catalogues significantly accelerated

In particular, our customers with a large product portfolio of over 100,000 products often had the problem of long waiting times when generating PunchOut catalogues. We were able to significantly speed up the loading time here.

PunchCommerce website available in Spanish

In addition to German and English, the PunchCommerce website is now also available in Spanish. However, this only affects the content of the website, our journal articles and our newsletter are still only available in English and German for the time being.
