We’re prepared to tackle Shopify users’ challenges, simplifying the entire order process and enabling faster and more accurate processing and shipping.

Disparate systems that don’t connect

Managing orders from multiple channels quickly becomes unnecessarily confusing and complex. Suppliers find themselves in reactive mode, juggling orders from EDI retailers, disparate marketplaces, direct customers and more.

With Fulfillment connected to Shopify, order fulfillment and shipping are consolidated into one platform. No matter who sends the purchase order, the customer will receive the order in a standardized format. This helps you easily find the information you need instead of hunting for it.

We’re also able to cross-reference the SKU number on the order with your system, so you can quickly identify the correct item. We translate all order data so that it’s aligned with one pre-determined format.

And, with access to all order data in one location, you’ll be able to operate more efficiently, simplify existing processes and get products to your customers faster.

The benefits

• One single network connection for omnichannel management
• A data standardization process equipped to translate any format
• An expert team of Shopify EDI specialists
• A dashboard that pulls together all Shopify orders for easy tracking
• A customizable, scalable system that grows with you

Challenges caused by using multiple tools

When you use multiple tools to complete orders, track inventory and ship products, you’re also signing up for uncontrollable shipping delays, data errors and the need for manual order tracking (probably done in yet another disparate system).

SPS Commerce Fulfillment enables users to automate workflows across multiple business systems within the SPS ecosystem.

As your business grows, your fulfillment processes become more complex. Fulfillment scales with you by connecting with your ERP, OMS and other business solutions, seamlessly.

The benefits

• A network that provides end-to-end partner and customer visibility into order status
• Facilitation of inventory data sharing with trading partners
• Pre-built integrations with hundreds of ERPs, WMS and shipping applications enable fast, reliable connections—no custom development required
• Easily navigated EDI order monitoring in Shopify Plus to prevent toggling between systems
• Centralized control to leverage company and location-specific payment terms
• Seamless sync with packing solutions for real-time updates

Time-consuming order entry

Tasks like manually entering sales, order and shipping data are tedious. If you’re doing it across systems, it’s more than tedious—it’s an unnecessary waste of time and resources.

When Shopify connects to Fulfillment, suppliers eliminate manual data entry while remaining compliant with trading partners. Thanks to automation, they can serve their D2C customer base faster.

The benefits

• Reduce manual entry and complete documents faster with auto-fill capability
• Create documents with ease from pre-built templates
• Book shipments directly in Fulfillment to eliminate the need to toggle in between systems and copy/paste tracking information
• Automate PDF and Excel orders through AI-powered extraction, mapping and pre-built templates
• Easily create and print barcodes and labels directly within the platform
