How Logistics Firms are Powering Retail Experiences





sps-logo-vert By using the power of the SPS Commerce Retail Community Logistics firms are creating multi-channel retail experiences. SPS Commerce, Inc. is a leader in cloud services when it comes to retail. They recently announced that they are using their Universal Network to allow third party logistics providers to stay ahead of the game when offering multi or omnichannel retail. To fulfill their omnichannel business many logistics companies like DM Fulfillment and TAGG Logistics are jumping on this opportunity to integrate the SPS Universal Network through the Retail Standard XML system. This will help the logistics firms complete their duties, which include expanding their delivery that is direct to consumer.


The vice president of marketing and product at SPS, Peter Zaballos says of the action, “Suppliers and retailers are looking to their 3PL partners to meet the ever-changing expectation of today’s consumer for rapid delivery of a rapidly expanding assortment of products…By connecting one to the SPS Universal Network, 3PLs can support their omnichannel customers by seamlessly fulfilling orders originating from stores, mobile apps, e-commerce sites and other channels. 3PLs taking advantage of these agile capabilities are leading the omnichannel era.” Last year TAGG Logistics got a head start by integrating what they do with the SPS Commerce Universal Network. This allowed the logistics company to access a huge network of retail trading partners, the largest network of its kind available. SPS Commerce works by using total integration of the TAGG’s internal systems that includes a warehouse management system (WMS) and a transportation management system (TMS) to automatically deliver support and scalability to the large and growing TAGG’s customer base. This year, by adding SPS’s Universal Network to the Delivering Branded Omnichannel Fulfillment (DM Fulfillment) hundreds of retailers can be simply accessed through one single connection. This will allow the service to be used by more customers faster and with fewer internal resources.
