The answers you need.
The business results you want.
More than 90% of companies are missing the necessary information for a seamless replenishment order process. Getting timely, accurate data allows you to benefit from:
It’s to plan for what’s coming and when
Without knowing the status of your order at every step in the process, you’re forced to reactively manage your orders. This means you typically end up with unused open to buy budget, have to order and hold excess inventory to make sure you’re covered, and hire extra staff to help manage it all.
See how retailers:
- Get up-to-date order details
- Avoid late orders
- Optimize your purchasing
Be better prepared
When you’re unaware of shipment statuses and details, you’re not staffed to receive them and you end up unpacking, counting and re-packing deliveries manually. This creates significant bottlenecks at your distribution centers, slow inventory turn and excess spending.
Understand the benefits when you:
- Get shipment details in advance
- Move inventory faster
- Automate your receiving process
Save time and money with complete purchase order to invoice trails
Invoice discrepancies due to missing data come at a high cost. A lack of documented order and order changes results in manual and time-consuming reconciliation, missing payment discounts or even overpaying your trading partners.
See the time & cost savings by:
- Match orders to invoices
- Make accurate payments
- Get the right order details
Keep your customers happy
Customers have come to expect being able to get what they want, when they want it, in whatever way they want. Without the right data, you’re unable to get products to shelf quickly. And without online and in-store systems using consistent item data, your customers are unable to shop, order and return products in the ways they want.
Enable omnichannel through:
- Consolidated item data
- Improved product to shelf timelines
- Expanded order fulfillment options
Expectations are meant to be met
Without the right data, you’re unable to effectively manage your trading partners and hold them accountable. You can’t track fill rates or see how often they have split orders or had late shipments. All of which means you end up ordering more and carrying more inventory–essentially rewarding your trading partners for poor performance.
Enhance supply chain collaboration by:
- Getting trading partner data
- Tracking trading partner fill rate
- Holding trading partners accountable

How Retail Buyers Can Optimize Their Supply Chain
Getting the right product, in the right place, at the right time for customers can be easier said than done. Without detailed, accurate and timely item data it is difficult to plan what to order and how it will look on the shelf, or online. For buyers, not knowing if an order can be shipped on time and complete creates inventory issues and the potential for unused open-to-buy budget and unhappy customers. SPS Commerce provides near real time insights into order status, allowing retailers to proactively plan to optimize spend and reduce the chance of stock-outs and overstocks.
