PunchOut is a protocol for interactive sessions managed across the Internet, a communication from one application to another, achieved through a dialog of real-time, synchronous cXML messages, which support user interaction at a remote site. This protocol is most commonly used today in the form of Procurement PunchOut, which specifically supports interactions between a procurement application and a supplier’s eCommerce web site and possibly includes an intermediary for authentication and version matching. The buyer leaves or "punches out" of their company's system and goes to the supplier's web-based catalog to locate and add items to their shopping cart, while their application transparently maintains connection with the web site and gathers pertinent information. A vendor catalog, enhanced for this process, is known as a punchout catalog. PunchOut enables communication between the software and the web site so that relevant information about the transaction is delivered to the appropriate channels.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Chieu |first1=Trieu C. |last2=Fu |first2=Shiwa S. |last3=Pinel |first3=Florian |last4=Yih |first4=Jih-Shyr |chapter=Unified solution for procurement integration and B2B stores |title=Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Electronic Commerce - ICEC 2003 |editor-last1=Sadeh |editor-first1=Norman M. |editor-last2=Dively |editor-first2=Mary Jo |editor-last3=Kauffman |editor-first3=Robert J. |editor-last4=Labrou |editor-first4=Yannis |editor-last5=Shehory |editor-first5=Onn |editor-last6=Telang |editor-first6=Rahul |editor-last7=Cranor |editor-first7=Lorrie Faith |volume=September 30-October 3, 2003 |pages=61–67 |isbn=1-58113-788-5 |doi=10.1145/948005.948014 |___location=Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA |publisher=ACM Press}}</ref>
