If you are in the early stages of running a retail business, you need every hour of every day to tackle the needs of your business.

“How do I make my order to ship process more efficient?”

SPS helps retail businesses just like you!
If you’ve already started a retail business, you’ve likely started to sell your products on an online marketplace like Amazon or Etsy, or created your own e-commerce site using Shopify or Magento. As sales start to come in, you adopted a system of record that likely includes spreadsheets, QuickBooks, Xero or Sage 50 Cloud.
Your success and five-star customer reviews won’t go unnoticed for long. Retailers will soon be knocking at your door wanting to carry your products, just like Target did with Da Bomb Bath Fizzers. This is great news and what your business needs to grow. But, you’ll need to comply with the retailer’s data requirements and your current systems might not be able to manage increasing order volumes. Plan ahead and choose technology partners who can grow with you. Or, you may be stuck making a big and potentially costly system switch while managing new sales and relationships.
Growth is a good thing – it shouldn’t be painful growing out of your systems though.
As orders increase, you’ll likely find it harder to manage your business in the way you once did. You’re faced with the choice of either hiring more staff, working late or you can find a solution that can make you more efficient right now, and prepare you for the next growth phase that hits your business.
It’s crucial to find a business partner that grows with you, like SPS Commerce. Unlike our competition, our solutions are designed to meet you where you are when it comes to solution and price, but are always ready to support dozens of orders or products to tens of thousands. Whenever you grow, we’ll scale with you.
Be the expert on starting a retail business, not the maintenance of your data.
Exchanging data with your trading partners comes with technical maintenance and ongoing updates from retailers. That’s why SPS provides a team of experts to handle these changes on your behalf. You can rest easy with a 24/7 team of SPS experts making sure your data is processing efficiently and effectively.
