Unleashed + SPS Commerce Integration

SPS Commerce is one of the world's largest retail-focused EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) networks. It connects more than 115,000 companies, including retailers, suppliers, distributors, grocers, and logistics providers, across 60+ countries. SPS Commerce's core service is SPS Fulfillment: a fully managed EDI solution where SPS's team handles all the technical complexity of EDI setup, mapping, testing, and ongoing maintenance, so suppliers can meet retailer compliance requirements without needing in-house EDI expertise. 

SPS Commerce operates a fully managed, full-service model. Rather than selling EDI software for customers to operate themselves, SPS staffs the mapping, testing, trading-partner enablement, and ongoing change management. When a retailer changes their EDI requirements, which happens regularly, SPS handles the update, not you. This is particularly valuable for suppliers who don't have an internal IT or EDI team. 

When a connected retailer sends a purchase order via EDI, SPS Commerce receives it and automatically creates the order in Unleashed, with all order details pre-filled. No manual re-entry required. As you fulfil the order in Unleashed, SPS Commerce generates the required EDI documents (invoices, advance shipping notices) and transmits them back to the retailer automatically. The integration keeps Unleashed as your system of record while SPS handles all the EDI communication. 

The integration supports the core EDI documents required by most retailers: purchase orders (inbound), invoices (outbound), and advance shipping notices/ASNs (outbound). All documents are kept in a centralised hub within SPS Commerce, where you can track the status of every order through the fulfilment process. 

Yes. SPS Commerce's pre-built network of retailer connections means that adding a new trading partner is typically much faster than a custom integration. SPS Commerce's community of trading partners makes connecting to new retailers straightforward and because SPS maintains the retailer's document specifications, you don't need to re-do the technical work every time a retailer updates their requirements. 

Each retailer has specific EDI requirements, document formats, data fields, transmission protocols, and compliance rules. SPS Commerce maintains these specifications for thousands of retailers and updates them when retailers change their requirements. This means your connections stay compliant without you needing to monitor or manage retailer specification changes yourself.
