Replacing a Costly & Problematic EDI Process<\/h4>\n
Until recently, Eastman used an internal Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software solution that interfaced to its customers\u2019 systems and its internal Epicor solution<\/a>. Unfortunately, the system proved to be problematic and costly for Eastman for the following reasons:<\/p>\n Change was needed. After researching the market, Eastman contacted SaaS EDI provider, SPS Commerce, based on its large and diverse customer base and its reputation for superior customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n After its past experience with EDI, Eastman was looking for a proven integration company that it could trust. Eastman found SPS Commerce to be larger than expected with a large and experienced staff, as well as a true desire to work with\u00a0Eastman not just to secure their business but to earn it each and every month with superior performance. In addition, they had partnerships with most of Eastman\u2019s retailers that enabled SPS to proactively change EDI maps to meet any new requirements well in advance.<\/p>\n In evaluating SPS Commerce, Eastman discovered that many of their retail partners recommended SPS due to the accuracy and the reliability of their services and SPS\u2019 impressive list of customers of all sizes. Their monthly subscription fees included all mapping changes and customer support, all at a lower cost than their existing solution. The decision was clear, and they\u00a0signed with SPS Commerce in January 2009.<\/p>\n Eastman\u2019s peak shipping season was approaching and it needed to have SPS Commerce completely implemented before then. SPS Commerce\u2019s implementation team worked rapidly to implement with Eastman\u2019s Epicor system and its trading partners. Today Eastman is using SPS Commerce with more than 50 connections to trading partners. Its service fees include mapping changes, full access to support, and numerous online services at no additional fee.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE CASE STUDY<\/a> Eastman markets its outdoor and consumer based products to various North American retailers, including Bass Pro, Big Rock Sports, Cabela\u2019s, MC Sports, United Hardware and Wal-Mart, as well as direct to the consumer.<\/p>\n Until recently, Eastman used an internal Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software solution that interfaced to its customers\u2019 systems and its internal Epicor solution<\/a>.
