Introducing Punch In!
We all know that buying online just makes sense. It is faster, easier, gives greater choice, more flexibility, & best of all it saves you money!
Compleat already provides “Punch Out” Integrated Online Buying from Amazon, Amazon Business & Business Prime websites to every one of our customers.
Free of Charge.
Amazon Business & Compleat Punch Out
Punch Out enables our customers to log into our application, access the relevant supplier website in a single click & then:
- Fill their basket in the normal way
- On requesting to buy, the order is suspended & imported into Compleat, generating a request to buy
- Manual or auto-coding for the general ledger & dropped into the correct approval process
- On final approval, automatically updating the supplier website for order fulfilment
- The invoice (& optional receipting) is captured & auto matched to the order
Simplifying invoice approvals, delivering full commitment & accrual accounting, & updating the ERP / Accounting Software on final invoice approval.


Amazon Business & Compleat Punch In
There is only one difference between Punch Out & Punch In – but it is incredibly significant to drive user adoption.
Instead of the users having to log into Compleat to access the Amazon Business website, they simply log directly into Amazon Business in the normal way, from any device.
Amazon Business knows you are a Compleat user & suspends the purchase, dropping the request directly into Compleat, after which it is then processed the same way as a Punch Out purchase to deliver:
- Total visibility & control over every order before it is placed, with formal purchasing approval workflows & budget validation
- Fully automated invoice capture / match, with formal invoice approval from any device
- Posted to your accounting / ERP software on final approval
This results in huge productivity gains inside & outside of Finance!
Visibility & Control
We have addressed the major concern of CFO’s of uncontrolled spend & the considerable costs of accounting for it.
- Replacing Pcard / corporate credit card purchases & the associated time to reconcile every transaction
- Personal spend by individuals & processing their expense claims – after the cost has been incurred
- Inappropriate spend – Amazon Business enables you to control what your staff are able to request & an approval process to ensure every item is relevant
- Fully automated commitment & accrual accounting for every line item purchased, across multiple deliveries & multiple invoices
- Without ANY change to the buyer’s purchasing experience

- One click purchase order approvals from any device
- Auto-GL coding at order stage with an option to review & edit GL codes at invoice approval stage
- Removal of all credit card / Pcard reconciliations
- Guaranteed purchase order / invoice 100% match for every item purchased
- One click invoice approvals from any device
- Automated posting to the accounting / ERP application on final approval
Savings
Buying online from suppliers’ websites is almost always cheaper, simply because the competition is far greater.
All major online suppliers continually update their pricing, reflecting their competition’s price changes.
With Amazon Business, suppliers are also competing with every other supplier on the platform, & that drives down the price you pay.
We conducted a detailed survey of prices paid by 5 of our customers from their current suppliers, across 100’s of items, aginst the same of equivelent item from Amazon Business.
On average, the savings available were 32%.
