Factory Integration

Sourcing companies connect thousands of suppliers with global resources to design, manufacture and ship their products to market. Maintaining accurate EDI connections to factories can be daunting for even the largest sourcing companies. When communications with remote factories are added to the mix, internal EDI software operations quickly become problematic.

Sourcing companies rely on web-based EDI services from SPS Commerce to connect them with factories in Asia and beyond. Using SPS’ outsourced EDI service, sourcing companies can ensure that each site and factory receive timely and accurate order information to make manufacturing more productive. Factories also receive barcode labels that can be printed onsite for more immediate shipment. With no onsite technology or expertise required, factories can send and receive EDI transactions including the Advance Ship Notice (ASN).

Using SPS’ access management and filter & forward capabilities, sourcing companies can give factories access to select data while protecting confidential information such as pricing.
