Minneapolis, MN — March 1, 2010 — Outdoor gear retailer The Sportsman's Guide has tapped a solution from SPS Commerce to automate its order, shipping and invoicing processes with more than 500 of their high-volume vendors in 2009, the solution provider has announced.
The Sportsman's Guide is a leading catalog and Internet retailer of outdoor gear and clothing. The company is using SPS Commerce's Trading Partner Enablement solution, which is aimed at helping organizations, typically large retailers, implement new integrations with trading partners to drive automation and electronic communication across their supply chains.
"Our company completed two enablement programs with SPS Commerce in 2009 that focused on vendors using drop ship and ship to warehouse models," said John Casler, executive vice president of merchandising and marketing at The Sportsman's Guide. "Throughout the design, launch, and execution of the programs, SPS' expertise from successfully completing dozens of similar programs was apparent and helped both The Sportsman's Guide and our vendors to smoothly transition to a more automated supply chain."
SPS said that the Trading Partner Enablement solution offers a unique, non-exclusive enablement process, tools and support services that have evolved into a suite of practices and templates used by thousands of vendors.
