The company just unveiled the latest advancement to the SPS Commerce Sourcing solution, including an expanded service for retailers that streamlines the process of selecting and onboarding vendors by tapping into the vast SPS Retail Network and its team of experts. SPS Sourcing empowers retailers to fulfill their growth potential by guiding merchandisers through a proven process that brings compelling brands to the shopping experience. Retailers, including SHOP.COM, are using Sourcing to strategically expand product offerings in current and new categories, offer local items and enter new markets with qualified vendors that align with their merchandising strategies.
'The SPS Commerce cloud platform is powering the digital retail era, offering retailers access to thousands of brands across countless categories,' said Peter Zaballos, vice president of marketing and product at SPS Commerce. 'Our newest sourcing service gives retailers a powerful merchandising advantage, providing access to vendors that meet their merchandising and supply-chain requirements. Traditional vendor discovery and onboarding programs simply can't keep pace with the demands of the omnichannel consumer for product variety and the pressure that puts on retailers.'
SPS Sourcing's new capabilities use a data-driven process that helps retailers facilitate relationships with well-matched vendors and filter out incompatible brands. Once vendors are identified from the SPS Retail Network, hundreds of retail professionals at SPS Commerce can screen each vendor for compatibility and broker introductions with the retailer. The SPS Retail Network provides access to tens of thousands of vendors in apparel, electronics, footwear, grocery, hard goods, health and beauty, home goods, specialty, sporting goods and toys.
