Nothing wrecks order fulfillment like doing things manually.<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Description” _builder_version=”3.25.3″ background_layout=”dark”]<\/p>\n

The moment you start doing business with more than a dozen suppliers, fulfilling orders manually becomes a recipe for retail disaster.<\/h3>\n

Endlessly typing in data, chasing vendors for updates, trying to make sense of shipments that don\u2019t match orders, and unresolvable AP disputes are just the tip of the iceberg. It\u2019s time to automate but with a giant list of trading partners, it\u2019s hard to know how to even start.<\/p>\n

To truly automate your order fulfillment process, you need to know how to fight vendor inertia \u2026 and win.<\/h2>\n

Most people don\u2019t like change, and your suppliers are no different. ASNs, drop shipping, paperless POs and invoices \u2014 these are all great, but they involve asking your vendors to change.<\/p>\n

The key to automating fulfillment in retail effectively isn\u2019t just about the tech: You need a clear plan of attack for rolling out your changes and a team that\u2019s dedicated to making it happen…<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n

“We had 50 vendors and probably 50 different ways they transmitted information to us. It was up to us to translate all of these documents and it was very difficult for us to do. With SPS, they deal with the vendor. They\u2019re the ones who are responsible for making sure that what makes it to us is the same thing. So now we have data that\u2019s going out in one format and we\u2019ve got data coming back in from our vendors in one format. That\u2019s really what SPS has allowed us to do: streamline that data and not waste a bunch of time and resources in managing vendor relationships!”<\/h2>\n
