"Here at Norfolk Broads Direct we have used iCompleat for several years, so when we heard that they were developing a link to Amazon Business via Punch-in we were very interested. Now having used the integration for a while we use Amazon Business more and more due to its ease. Our teams can effortlessly shop on Amazon Business, just like they would at home, while our finance team no longer worries about duplicate invoices or mistakes. It's a win-win situation that brings both efficiency and peace of mind."

— Sarah Walker, Finance Director, Norfolk Broads Direct Ltd

Integrating Amazon Business Punch-in couldn’t be easier. For customers who already have a Punchout integration with a Punch-in enabled e-procurement system, it is as simple as flipping a switch. If you have not yet completed your Punchout integration, that is the first step to enabling Punch-in.

  • No, users that buy via Punchout can immediately use Punch-in too. For users who intend to buy both on Amazon Business website and through Punchout/Punch-in, we recommend mapping them to at least two separate groups – one with Punchout / Punch-in permissions (Punchout user access) and the other with Direct Website permissions (requisitioner access). When customers have both permissions on the same group, Direct Website purchase permissions take precedence over Punch-in.

To get started with Punch-in, contact your Customer Advisor.
