B2B Integration from SPS Commerce
Business-to-business (B2B) integration is a necessary part of today’s supply chain. Without it, buying and selling organizations have a hard time keeping up with business processes and partner requirements. SPS Commerce has the tools and expertise to help businesses adopt and maintain effortless B2B integration.
The supply chain runs on data
Without the visibility that comes from accurate and timely data-sharing between partners, businesses suffer.
Suppliers need to receive orders from their retailers
Retailers need order acknowledgements from their suppliers
3PLs need order data from suppliers to make on-time deliveries
Getting all this data from multiple systems and partners can be incredibly complicated. B2B integration smooths out all these processes so businesses can thrive.
What is B2B integration?
Simply put, B2B integration is the automation of business processes between trading partners, including retailers, suppliers and 3PLs. It standardizes and automates data exchange, allowing for greater efficiency and accuracy in communication between businesses. Without integration, disparate systems won’t automatically sync to share data, and businesses are left to manage the individual requirements of each partner on their own.
What problems does B2B integration help to solve?
- Supply Chain Complexity: As the supply chain becomes more complex, businesses have more and more data to exchange, with ever-evolving requirements from their partners. Trying to keep up with all of those demands can be confusing at best. Automating your data exchange simplifies business processes across the board.
- Where Time is Spent: Exchanging data with your trading partners is just one element of your business, but without automation, it can take up a huge amount of time. B2B integration significantly reduces the amount of labor needed so you can redirect that effort into focusing on your other business priorities.
- Inaccurate Data: Manually entering data from multiple sources leads to errors and headaches throughout the ordering process. B2B integration brings simplicity and accuracy to a complex business environment, improving partner relationships along the way.
- Scalability: Integration solutions should enable you and your trading partners to leverage and share the data that matters most to you, so you can be less reactive and make smarter business decisions as you scale and grow.
