Attollo, the award-winning provider of modern Microsoft 365 intranet solutions, today announced a new strategic partnership with GetConnect, a market leader in PunchOut and B2B integration technology.
The partnership will enable organisations to access PunchOut catalogues and procurement systems directly from within their intranet – removing the need for staff to leave the digital workplace environment.
What is a “PunchOut System”
A punchout system is an e-procurement integration that lets buyers “punch out” from their internal procurement software (like SAP Ariba, Coupa) directly into a supplier’s live website to shop, browse real-time pricing/stock, then “punch back” their filled shopping cart to their own system for approval and purchase order (PO) generation, ensuring compliance and accuracy without manual data entry. It bridges the gap between a company’s purchasing system and a supplier’s online store, streamlining B2B purchasing.

The collaboration addresses a long-standing challenge in the corporate and public-sector procurement landscape: disconnected user journeys that force employees to “jump out” of the intranet and into external procurement portals. This often results in poor adoption, inconsistent purchasing behaviour, and unnecessary operational friction.
By combining Attollo’s award-winning user experience with GetConnect’s proven PunchOut and integration platform, organisations can now embed procurement tools natively inside Microsoft 365.
Seamless Procurement Experience Inside the Intranet
Through this partnership, organisations will be able to:
- Launch PunchOut catalogues directly inside Attollo and SharePoint.
- Use single sign-on for frictionless access.
- View purchasing history, status, and budgets within the intranet.
- Maintain corporate branding throughout the procurement journey.
- Increase compliance with approved suppliers.
- Reduce duplicated systems and user confusion.
- Integrated M365 technology and functionality for both customer bases.
The result is a procurement experience that feels integrated, intuitive, and consistent with the rest of the digital workplace.
Attollo Managing Director Sam Dolan commented:
“ Attollo has always been about simplifying work for people. Our award-winning intranet platform brings clarity and connection to organisations, but procurement has historically been the missing link. Partnering with GetConnect, a clear market leader in PunchOut integration allowing us to close that gap. Together, we’re delivering a seamless procurement experience that finally sits where employees expect it to: inside their intranet.”
Gareth Pritchard, Commercial Director of GetConnect added:
”We’re thrilled to partner with The Attollo Group. Their Attollo intranet platform is one of the most polished and user-centric in the Microsoft 365 space, and it aligns perfectly with our mission to make complex procurement systems simple to use. As a market leader in PunchOut and B2B integration, we’re excited to extend our capabilities into the intranet space and give organisations a modern, accessible way to manage procurement.”
A Shared Vision for Connected Digital Workplaces
This partnership marks the start of a long-term collaboration focused on deeper connectivity, simpler user experiences, and a more unified digital workplace. Attollo clients will gain access to GetConnect’s powerful catalogue of integration capabilities – from PunchOut to ERP connectivity enabling organisations to consolidate systems and modernise procurement. At the same time, GetConnect’s customers will benefit from award-winning intranet experiences that place their procurement tools at the centre of daily workflows, improving adoption and operational efficiency.
Together, both companies aim to redefine how organisations integrate procurement, communication, and collaboration into one seamless platform.
