Why did SPS Commerce acquire Carbon6?
Today, suppliers are trapped in a painful tradeoff between recovery potential and operational cost. Every deduction they must investigate requires significant time and energy to gather the needed documentation, analyze the data, and submit their claims. But they can’t afford to ignore deductions either, as these directly impact their bottom line. So, they’re forced to make difficult choices about which claims to pursue, often leaving revenue potential on the table.
The acquisition of Carbon6 will give SPS an even greater ability to help more of the world’s suppliers recover more revenue from deductions. And, with SupplyPike and Carbon6 together, SPS will now be a leader in the emerging category of revenue recovery by supporting the supplier communities of the two largest global retailers, including the rapidly growing Amazon marketplace.
