Weblink: Over 30 Years of Experience in B2B Integrations

PunchOut Rocket is developed by Weblink Srl, an Italian technology company that has been developing software, digital platforms, and B2B solutions since 1996.

Over more than thirty years, we have delivered more than 400 digital and software projects, working with companies with very different business processes, technology infrastructures, and integration requirements.

This experience has enabled us to build a broad range of expertise spanning software development, B2B eCommerce, systems integration, data management, and business process automation.

PunchOut Rocket was created from this combination of technical expertise and direct experience with complex B2B integrations.

Experience in B2B eCommerce and eProcurement Integration

B2B integrations are about much more than technology.

Successfully connecting an eCommerce platform to a procurement system requires a clear understanding of how a company manages catalogs, users, customer-specific pricing, permissions, orders, ERP systems, and purchasing processes.

Over the years, Weblink has developed extensive experience in B2B eCommerce development and integration between digital platforms and enterprise systems, working with different technologies, architectures, and business requirements.

This expertise naturally led us into the world of eProcurement and PunchOut integrations, including solutions based on the cXML and OCI protocols.

PunchOut Rocket was created to simplify the connection between a supplier’s B2B eCommerce catalog and the procurement platform used by its buyers.

Who develops PunchOut Rocket?

PunchOut Rocket is designed, developed, and supported directly by Weblink Srl.

It is not a third-party platform simply resold or distributed by Weblink. Our team develops the plugins, middleware, APIs, and integration components that make up the PunchOut Rocket infrastructure.

Because we develop the technology ourselves, we have direct knowledge of every layer of the solution.

This becomes particularly important when a PunchOut integration involves specific buyer requirements, non-standard configurations, custom workflows, or different procurement environments.

Different skills for complex B2B integration projects

Weblink brings together professionals with different areas of expertise, including software developers, programmers, systems integration specialists, digital marketing experts, and managers with extensive experience in business and technology.

This multidisciplinary approach is particularly valuable in B2B projects.

A PunchOut implementation may involve the customer’s IT department, eCommerce platform, ERP system, sales team, procurement department, and third-party technology providers at the same time.

Our role is to understand these different systems, identify how information needs to flow between them, and create a reliable integration.

Experience across multiple eCommerce platforms

Weblink has developed plugins, modules, software, APIs, and integrations for a wide range of eCommerce platforms and technology environments.

This experience has enabled us to make PunchOut Rocket available through dedicated PunchOut plugins for:

• WooCommerce
• Magento
• PrestaShop
• nopCommerce

For proprietary eCommerce systems and custom-developed platforms, PunchOut Rocket can also be integrated through its REST API.

This makes it possible to add PunchOut capabilities even when an eCommerce platform is not based on one of the supported standard CMS or commerce frameworks.

Our experience across different technology ecosystems means that we are not tied to a single platform. We can approach each B2B eCommerce integration starting from the architecture and systems already used by the customer.

From eCommerce development to enterprise systems integration

Weblink’s expertise extends beyond websites and eCommerce development.

Over the years, we have expanded our capabilities into software development, cross-platform applications, artificial intelligence, data processing, data enrichment, and business process automation.

These may appear to be different areas, but they share a common foundation: the ability to connect data, software, and business processes.

That same integration-oriented approach is at the core of PunchOut Rocket.

Why we developed PunchOut Rocket

Connecting a B2B eCommerce platform to an eProcurement system often requires data to move between technologies that were not originally designed to work together.

On one side are eCommerce platforms such as WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, nopCommerce, and custom commerce systems.

On the other side are procurement and eProcurement platforms used by enterprise buyers, including SAP Ariba, Coupa, JAGGAER, Oracle, and other procurement systems supporting cXML or OCI PunchOut integrations.

A successful integration must manage authentication, PunchOut sessions, catalog access, customer-specific commercial conditions, shopping cart transfer, and data exchange between these environments.

PunchOut Rocket provides a standardized B2B PunchOut integration layer between eCommerce and procurement systems, reducing the need to develop every new buyer connection entirely from scratch.

More than PunchOut software: direct integration expertise

Choosing PunchOut Rocket means using a technology developed by a company that has been working with digital platforms and business software since 1996.

Weblink combines more than thirty years of technology experience with direct knowledge of B2B eCommerce, eProcurement, cXML, OCI, and PunchOut integration projects.

When a configuration requires assistance, there is more than a software platform behind PunchOut Rocket: there is the same team that designed, developed, and continues to evolve the technology.

PunchOut Rocket is the result of more than thirty years of Weblink experience in software development, B2B eCommerce, systems integration, and enterprise digital processes.
