Picture this: it’s holiday season and you notice your internal team is spending a lot of time tracking down orders in multiple tools like vendor portals, e-commerce sites, marketplaces, and manual orders (via phone or email). It’s a common challenge of businesses experiencing growth. Imagine if your team looked like this:
8am
Start by logging into SPS Fulfillment
View your orders from retailers, e-commerce and marketplaces in one place.
After reviewing all orders and inventory, you move orders into the next stages of fulfillment or into your WMS system.
If applicable – You send a POA (855) to your retailer agreeing to the order. Fulfillment even has batch processing, so you can do multiple POAs at once.
10am
Still within SPS Fulfillment
You or someone on your team starts pulling orders from Fulfillment and begin picking and packing the orders.
If you use a logistics company – Using our 3PL Warehouse Services, SPS will communicate the orders and shipping information to your logistics company for them to pick and pack on your behalf.
If it’s an e-commerce, drop ship or marketplace order – You create a packing slip, shipping label and select a shipping method with Carrier Service.
If it’s an e-commerce or marketplace order – You copy and paste the tracking number into your online platform for the end customer.
3pm
Still within SPS Fulfillment
Warehouse team finishes labeling the boxes and puts it on the assigned retailer pallet(s).
If applicable – Then from Fulfillment, you send the ASN (856) to let the retailer know what’s packaged and when it should arrive.
If applicable – The you send Invoice (810) for order to the retailer.
If you use a logistics company – Once packed and ready for shipping, your logistics partner will send you Shipping Advice (945) and then you can send, or use Auto Rules, ASN (856).
And it all starts again tomorrow.

Does your company need a managed EDI service or full-service EDI?
A managed EDI service is a cloud-based EDI solution in which the EDI provider is responsible for the developing and maintaining the core technology, but requires internal staffing for the day-to-day customization, optimization and operations of the technology. Full-service EDI is a cloud-based solution and associated staffing resources that customize, optimize and operate the technology.
