Faster vendor enablement, fewer headaches.
We specialize in ensuring your trading partner community meets your business requirements. The SPS Commerce Community service takes the vendor enablement process off your hands and makes rolling out your changes fast, painless and cost-effective.
Our proven, best-practice approach maximizes adoption.
Your dedicated program team will guide you through each step of the Community process to optimize adoption across your trading partners. We run more than 700 vendor enablement programs each year, here’s a sampling of how we’ve helped retailers, distributors and grocers.
Onboard new trading partners
Costco’s vendor base is changing constantly as it finds new and unique products for its business and consumer customers. Since 2003, Costco has outsourced the entire EDI onboarding process to SPS.
SPS handles everything, including the initial calls to vendors, finding the right contact to speak to, and the EDI testing process.
Drive true adoption from trading partners
Otis McAllister, a food distributor, partnered with SPS when a grocery retailer requested more timely Advance Ship Notices (ASNs). Now a supplier fulfilling an order can directly send the ASN to the grocery retailer. By empowering its suppliers and streamlining the transaction flow from vendors directly to grocery customers, Otis McAllister reduces costs and improves customer service.
Expertly manage your trading partner community
SPS Commerce runs more than 700 Community programs each year and continually achieves high-adoption rates for retailers, grocers and distributors. Some of the retailers, grocers and distributors that have benefited from our hands-on approach, include Best Buy, Winn Dixie, The Iconic, SHOP.COM, DollarDays, Shoebacca and the PGA Tour Superstore.
Share sales data
To understand and maximize product sales, Regis Corporation kicked off a Point-of-Sale (POS) Analytics program with SPS Commerce. Regis suppliers have seen so much value in the SPS Analytics service that every single one has adopted the service to bolster collaboration and sales in partnership with Regis.
Uncover new trading partners
SHOP.COM sources new drop-ship vendors with SPS Commerce. Overall orders and revenue have jumped 45 percent since launching the SPS program in 2014, demonstrating the power of an SPS Community program.
