ShipNetwork connects to SPS Commerce through direct API and EDI. Purchase orders, invoices, and advance ship notices keep moving across your EDI network exactly as your retail partners expect. You do not change EDI providers, and you do not change how your retailers do business with you.

If you are on an EDI network, you are not early-stage. You are there because a retailer required itwhich means you have already won the hard part. Shelf space. A dropship program. A buyer with standards. That win is usually what breaks fulfillment.
A wholesale PO is pallets, carton labels, and a routing guide. A DTC order is one unit in a poly mailer going out same-day. Running both through the same room, the same staff, and the same process is where accuracy slips and it slips on the retail side first, where errors are most expensive.
Late ASNs. Wrong carton labels. Missed delivery windows. Incorrect packing. Retailers deduct for all of it, and the deductions rarely arrive as one painful number you can point at. They accumulate quietly against the account you worked hardest to land.
Seasonal POs, promotional resets, and new-store rollouts land as large commitments with fixed dates. A team staffed for a normal week is structurally wrong for that. Staffing ahead of it is expensive. Missing the must-arrive-by window costs the relationship.
Every new retailer means more labor, more space, more process. At some point the founder or ops lead is spending their week on pick rates instead of on the next account, and the constraint on growth stops being demand and starts being square footage.
SPS Commerce works. The ERP works. The problem is physical, and the fear is that fixing it turns into an IT project. It shouldn't. That is the whole point of Section 1.
