SPS Commerce is an electronic data interchange (EDI) solution provider for SMBs.
By combining inventory and order management with a complete, end-to-end EDI solution, Order Time users can save money, increase productivity and automate key supply chain processes—to move orders faster and serve customers better.
Whether you’re a retailer, supplier, distributor or logistics provider, SPS Commerce delivers the human expertise, processes and innovative technologies you need to make your trading partner relationships easier, more collaborative and profitable.
When integrated with Order Time, the SPS Commerce EDI imports, EDI purchase orders directly into Order Time as EDI sales orders. When the Sales Order is shipped and you generate an ship doc, the solution automatically generates an Advance Ship Notice (ASN). This saves you from having to key the sales order, invoice or ASN data into your EDI solution, saving time, money and errors in your order management process.
To find out more about SPS Commerce EDI and the benefits of integrating EDI with your Order Time solution, contact an EDI specialist today.
