TradeCentric
Building a custom PunchOut proxy for a known, single enterprise buyer (e.g., SAP Ariba to Shopify) takes a few weeks of TypeScript work. Replacing TradeCentric as a general-purpose hub for 50+ enterprise buyers using custom cXML/EDI schemas requires a dedicated integration ops team.

- Basic cXML PunchOutSetupRequest parsing and response generation.
- Session token handshake and cart transfer (PunchOutOrderMessage generation).
- Standard cXML Purchase Order (OrderRequest) ingestion to Shopify Draft Orders.
- Outbound cXML InvoiceDetailRequest dispatch on fulfillment.
- Basic transaction log dashboard for session status and PO tracking.
what you lose
- Turnkey connectivity to 150+ eProcurement systems (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Jaggaer, Oracle, Workday).
- Dedicated integration engineers who interface directly with enterprise buyer IT teams during testing.
- Pre-built handling of thousands of vendor-specific cXML and OCI schema deviations.
- Managed monitoring and alerts for partner-side endpoint outages and SSL failures.
- ISO 27001 certified data handling for enterprise procurement compliance.
