Home improvement industry challenges squeezing the supply chain right now
Miss the spring peak and you wait a full year to recover
Peak runs April to November. Compliance failures, late shipments, and inventory gaps before spring lose the season, not the order.
Every retailer runs its own compliance program
Miss a requirement and it compounds: fines first, lower scorecards next, then reduced shelf access and fewer promotions.
Tariffs hit costs, deductions drain what's left
Tariffs are raising costs while retailers resist price increases. About 70% of invalid deductions go untouched. That gap adds up.
One network for every part of your supply chain
Get to market before the season starts
The SPS network already knows how your home improvement retailers want to receive orders, so new connections go live quick, and you're ready before the season opens.
Know what's selling before your buyer asks
With sell-through and inventory data from hundreds of retailers in one place, you know which SKUs are slipping and which shelves are thinning before your buyer brings it up.
Recover what you earned, and prevent what recurs
Home improvement dispute win rates have dropped, and disputing claims alone won't recover what you're owed. SPS Revenue Recovery handles both the recovery and the root cause.
Know your brands are ready before peak hits
For retailers, one unprepared vendor at the wrong moment can cost you the window. SPS gets every brand aligned, tested, and executing to your requirements before peak season.
