• Resilience As a Competitive Advantage: Advanced Frameworks For Global Manufacturing

  This playbook provides a strategic blueprint for manufacturers to synchronize global networks through financial optimization, S&OP integration, and predictive risk systems.

• From Retail Data to Better Decisions

  Retail brands rarely lack data. What they lack is visibility into where margin is slipping, where an empty shelf is costing sales, and where limited inventory should go first. This paper explains how Decision Intelligence brings retailer sales, inventory, and supply chain data into one standardized view, and how brands use that view to make three specific decisions: identify missed revenue and margin opportunities, improve in-stock and on-shelf availability, and inform inventory allocation strategy.

• The Future of Supply Chain Collaboration

  Supply chains are at an inflection point. Agentic AI is moving from pilot to production, and the companies that win will not be the ones with the most sophisticated tools. They will be the ones operating on the most intelligent networks. Download our white paper to understand what the shift means, and what it requires to get right.

• Evaluating Your EDI Options: Choosing a Network Over a Toolkit

  The difference between EDI providers goes beyond the technology. Some give you tools to manage. Others bring a network built around your trading partners.

• The Real Build-vs-Buy Conversation for Modern EDI Teams

  Most EDI build vs buy decisions come down to a single comparison: internal development cost against a vendor's annual fee. That number is not wrong, but it is incomplete. Building an EDI workflow is a solved problem for most technical teams. What is harder to scope in advance is what it takes to keep it running six months out, when a major retailer pushes a spec update, your trading partner count doubles, or the person who built it is buried in another project. This guide covers the decision logic, the failure modes, and the operational overhead that rarely appear in a build estimate, so you make the call with a full cost picture instead of a partial one.

• The Data Foundation Imperative: Why Your Data, Not Your AI, Decides What Your Investments Deliver

  Enterprise buying organizations are funding sophisticated AI on a data foundation built for a different era. Only 15% report positive AI ROI in supply chain and warehouse, the lowest of any use case measured, and the reason is rarely the model. The constraint is the data feeding it. The typical supplier is compliant on just 42.8% of transactions, and every miss becomes a gap, an error, or a manually resolved exception in the data your AI systems run on. No amount of model sophistication closes that gap. Drawing on SPS Commerce network data and research from NRF, IBM, Cisco, and Impinj, this e-book shows technology leaders why internal data alone can't answer the questions AI is being asked, why build vs. buy is really a data access decision, and what a sound foundation requires before the next AI initiative underperforms.
