SPS Commerce EDI Integration
Bi-directional EDI integration connecting SPS Commerce with JASCI warehouse management system for automated EDI 850 order import, 856 ASN shipment confirmation, and file-based processing with full audit trail.
What is SPS Commerce?
SPS Commerce is the world's largest retail network, connecting retailers, suppliers, grocers, distributors, and logistics firms through cloud-based EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solutions. Founded in 2001, SPS Commerce enables seamless B2B communication for over 115,000 customers globally.
EDI replaces paper-based documents like purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices with standardized electronic formats. EDI 850 is the Purchase Order document, while EDI 856 is the Advance Ship Notice (ASN) that confirms shipment details to retailers.
For suppliers, SPS Commerce provides pre-built connections to major retailers like Walmart, Target, Amazon, Costco, and thousands more. The platform handles EDI translation, compliance testing, and ongoing support—eliminating the complexity of direct retailer integrations.
