Sales Layer is the product information management (PIM) platform that allows suppliers to generate electronic catalogs and integrate them with their buyer customers through punchout.
The first step in integrating with a purchasing portal via punchout software is preparing the product data you want to share with your customers. For many suppliers, this can be cumbersome, especially when product information is scattered across different files, folders, and systems. Sales Layer simplifies this by allowing suppliers to digitize and centralize their product catalogs in minutes with a simple copy and paste from a spreadsheet, CSV file, or ERP. This creates a fully digital single source of truth, accessible and manageable by any authorized user from any device, anywhere in the world.
The second step in selling via punchout usually involves creating a B2B commerce platform. From their product information management portal, suppliers can create unlimited B2B catalogs, customized for each customer. With just a few clicks, they can select the products, attributes, and assets they want to share with a specific customer. Enhance your catalogs with videos, photos, 3D models or other digital assets.
The ultimate stage of punchout integration is linking each B2B catalog to your customers' procurement platforms. Traditional methods often drag out this process. With Sales Layer, you can seamlessly create punchout catalogs through a quick one-time integration across any procurement platform. Integration via punchout streamlines sales, as buyers directly access richer and more up-to-date catalogs from their own management systems.
Integrating via punchout doesn't need to be time-consuming, expensive, or complicated. Regardless of their level of digitalization, resources, or technical capabilities, Sales Layer Connect allows suppliers to quickly and easily create their electronic catalogs and integrate them via punchout with their customers within a couple of weeks. In addition, they'll have all the necessary tools to autonomously update their catalogs without requiring any IT intervention or technical knowledge. Any catalog update is automatically synchronized with the customer's purchasing system, eliminating manual management. Sales Layer Connect integrates your catalogs with your customers' systems and allows you to quickly adapt to market demands.
