SPS Commerce
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.

Why businesses on SPS Commerce look for a 3PL
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.

Retail Orders and DTC Orders are Different Businesses.
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.
Compliance Failures are a Margin Leak, Not an Incident.
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.
Retail Volume Arrives in Steps, Not Curves.
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.
The Warehouse Becomes the Ceiling.
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.
Nobody Wants a Systems Migration.
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.
Process is Simple to Get Started
One Partner Across Every Channel You Sell On
Almost nobody selling through SPS Commerce sells only through SPS Commerce. There is usually a Shopify store, an Amazon presence, often Walmart or eBay. Each channel expects something different about speed, packaging, and cost.
ShipNetwork fulfills across those channels too, through direct API connections and pre-built partner integrations depending on the platform.
The benefit is not the length of an integration list. It is that inventory, labor, and reporting stop being fragmented, so a retail PO and a Tuesday afternoon DTC order draw from one operation and one team instead of competing for the same units.

How ShipNetwork Supports SPS Commerce Businesses
A Dedicated POD that Learns Your Retail Program
Every ShipNetwork client gets a dedicated team, not a shared queue. For a brand on EDI, that means the people fulfilling your orders learn your SKUs, your retailers, your routing requirements, and your seasonal patterns. When a buyer changes a requirement, you are talking to someone who already knows your account.
Retail and Wholesale Fulfillment, Built to Each Retailer's Spec
Orders arrive through the SPS Commerce connection and are fulfilled from our nationwide warehouse network. Picked, packed, and labeled against your retail partners' requirements, with advance ship notices and shipping data returning through SPS Commerce to the retailer's system.
Dropship and Bulk Wholesale in One Operation
Most brands on EDI run both: pallet quantities into a retailer's distribution center, and individual dropship orders going direct to that retailer's customer. Both are fulfillment work. Both sit with one team instead of being split across two operations that do not talk to each other.
Accuracy That Holds When the PO is Large
ShipNetwork runs 99.99%+ order accuracy. On the DTC side that protects your reviews. On the retail side it protects your margin, because accuracy is what chargebacks are actually measuring.
SLAs That Hold Through Peak
Our SLAs are built to hold in Q4, not just Q1. That matters most for brands whose retail commitments are concentrated in exactly the months when most 3PLs start missing.
