Sourcing Company Partner Benefits
Global sourcing companies connect thousands of suppliers with global resources to design, manufacture and ship their products to market. Factories choose to partner with sourcing companies to also take advantage of these offerings and maximize their bottom line.

Communications to the sites within a global sourcing company’s service network in Asia and beyond can be a challenge, especially in remote areas where technology expertise, communications, and onsite IT infrastructure are minimal. However, access to timely order and shipment information is critical to everyone’s bottom line, including the factories.

This communication barrier can be quickly overcome using SPS’ outsourced EDI services.

Unlike traditional EDI software solutions that would be too expensive and cumbersome to distribute across such a network, SPS offers an easily deployable EDI service that requires only an Internet browser. Using SPS’ EDI services, sourcing companies can ensure that each site and factory receives timely and accurate order information to make manufacturing more productive and 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 via SPS’ service, including the Advance Ship Notice (ASN).

As a part of the SPS Ecosystem, sourcing companies and their related factories leverage the reliability and connections trusted by more than 10,000 organizations today. SPS can provide a competitive advantage and help them to reach the farthest locations in their network, and communicate more effectively with their direct customers and their customers’ retail clients.
