EDI (electronic data interchange):

MFI is partnered with GHX and SPS commerce for EDI integrations with our customers and vendors. We are able to integrate with any system.

E-procurement (electronic procurement):

E-procurement (electronic procurement) is the business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C) or business-to-government (B2G) purchase and sales of supplies, work, and services through the Internet as well as other information and networking systems such as electronic data interchange (EDI) and enterprise resource planning (ERP). E-procurement consists of many different processes which include sourcing, vendor management, catalog management, purchase order integration, order status, ship notice, e-invoicing, e-payment, and contract management. Please email registrations@mfimedical.com with any integration requests or questions regarding the process.

What is the PunchOut process:

PunchOut is a mechanism by which the e-procurement application makes it possible for a buyer to access a supplier's website from the buyer's own procurement application. The buyer leaves ("punches out" of) their procurement application and enters the supplier's web-based catalog. This launches the supplier’s website within the buyer’s browser frame. The buyer browses the web-based catalog and adds items to the shopping cart while both applications maintain their connections. No orders are sent to the supplier when the user checks out from the supplier’s PunchOut site. Instead, the shopping cart with the selected items is brought back to the e-procurement application. The end user does not go through a typically business-to-consumer (B2C) checkout process. Once the cart is transferred back into the procurement application, the order is routed through their organization for financial approval. Once the order is approved, a purchase order is generated from the procurement system and sent to the supplier to fulfill.

With PunchOut catalogs, our catalog content and products can be readily and easily accessible from within your procurement application. PunchOut catalogs allow you to purchase online while maintaining your connection with your procurement system as well as automation of the order to invoice processes.

PunchOut Catalogs connect to all PunchOut compatible marketplaces. We support cXML, XML, xCBL and OCI (Open Catalog Interface).

We connect to the following eProcurement platforms (listed in alphabetical order):
