that i must go through 5 screens just to get to invoicing. Do not like that I can not generate an invoice unless it is against a specific shipment. There have been times when I deduction needed to be made due to an error and there is not way to invoice for that
SPS offers great customer support and ease of use. Most definitely one of the better options out there.
There are not too many things I don't like about the interface - sometimes just hiccups and kicks me out - but that's a norm.
The way the site loads is not always intuitive. For example, when I select quick-entry for an invoice and enter in the areas and hit save, it stays on the same page rather than taking you to the invoice. So then I have to click source document and click the invoice or go find it in the transaction tab. This is only a few extra clicks but it seems silly it wouldn't save and take you directly to the invoice to either further edit or submit.
It is easy/intuitive, reliable and economical compared to regular EDI. The software is flexible in that a lot of our customers use it already as well as what it can interface directly with.
Don't really have any issues with the software. The software has proven to be really stable for us even when upgrades are done.
I like the ease of access, being able to filter my searches and save a search that I use daily without having to set up the filters again the next time I use it.
When filling out Manual ASN's, if there are multiple errors, I haven't found that I am able to fix one, and then have the other issues flag red until I hit the check for errors button.
This software does the job expected of an electronic data interface. Allows for receiving, shipping, acknowledgment, and invoicing of orders.
The newest upgrade seemed to make it easier to use on the surface, but when needing to research or utilize beyond the first page, it became increasingly difficult
Reliable, virtually no problems regarding chargebacks. I also like the UPS integration a lot. It simplifies shipping and shipping time. Highly customizable to fit users's needs, bulk edits, and bulk submission of up to 100 invoices.
It often logs-out user, and sometimes works really slow. It doesn't warn you if a transaction did not get acknowledged by partner after say 24 hours. We manually have to check every transaction once a day to make sure it got received by partner.
Not a real con, but the phrase you pay for what you get applies. You can get an EDI platform for less monthly, but you get less monthly. With SPS you get a partner to help with your business needs and the support is expansive and centered on the end-users experience and knowledge levels.
The software is fine, but support needs help. Emailing customer support is a slow process and I don't get same day responses/resolutions. Response from a staff member can take a few days to a week. I typically have to call in to get problems resolved the same day if it's an urgent matter. Error notifications don't provide any details on why documents were rejected. Depending on who is helping with the ticket will depend on the length of time for resolution. I have requested a break down of the EDI flow so I can understand the process better, but have not received additional information and was told there isn't any information on this. Our company has had high turnover and there is no one on staff that has a central understanding of how EDI works.
There are not many things that we find difficult with this program. Maybe the amount of clicks that are necessary to process things.
Not being able to search for an order from every screen, the search field is not available everywhere. by SPS Commerce on 21/02/2019 Jim - Thank you for your review. I've passed along your remarks about the search capability to our product team for consideration. We appreciate your time to provide us with actionable feedback.
It is easy to use. The representatives are awesome when you call they jump right on with you and help. This is good for me LOL
I have no con with SPS software. It is awesome again if there is ever an issue I call they fix but it really is never with the software it is with the driver.
It's the industry standard and so many of our customers use it. The improved Webform Fulfillment is user friendly and intuitive. The chat feature is helpful.
Not all our customers use SPS and it does not integrate with QuickBooks Online. Sometimes the sales and implementation teams use jargon I can't follow.
The Hybrid Solution that allows integration and webform . Ability to print out the shipping /ucc 128 label which is a great plus for us.
The one map format is great but sometimes the information being used are not what the Trading Partner wants and need to work with Support/Setup Team to fix the issue.
The pricing "per document" is a little ridiculous if I'm being honest. On top of what you already pay monthly seems like overkill. A one price per month would be easier in my opinion and more cost effective for our company.
Easy to read and complete the forms for all EDI documents. Required fields (per the receiving company) will be highlighted in red and if any aren't filled in the document won't send which reduces the chances of chargebacks.
I would love to be able to manipulate and edit how I see things on the landing page. There are some customization options, but I'd like to be a little more in control of what I see and what I need.
It's so easy to use and navigate. We have multiple team members accessing multiple client accounts within SPS and it could not be more user-friendly. We recommend it to all our clients. Anytime we have issues we can hop in the chatbox and we have them resolved within the day. The customer service is stellar and the software overall is SO good.
The software is near perfect. We did have issues with one of our account reps in trying to get the program set up, but it was quickly addressed and the issue resolved.
Easy to use and never any downtime.
When down several levels deep in options to go back up 1 or 2 levels cant use back button have to go back to beginning and drive back down.
We haven't had chance yet to fully integrate yet so it will be some time before we can comment fully on what we do and don't like re this software. On the webforms startup it was more difficult to use than our previous provider but I think that's a lack f training up front but once this was organised it was better - Point do a better job in this area we should not have to chase

We like the standard format of sending and receiving documents, regardless of who the retailer is. All the info is mapped to familiar templates.
whenever there is a glitch, reaching customer support is difficult or need to ask for upper management to get quicker results.
I love how easy it is to use and navigate. It takes about 30 minutes to learn and get up and running. Customer support is great and gets back to you within a day.
I am hard pressed to find anything that I do not like about the software. The new software really addressed the issues in the previous software.
Being able to see lots of documents at one time is probably the greatest advantage especially in my business where we historically have received 100-1500 orders per day. WebForms allows rapid processing of up to one hundred documents at a time.
Sometimes the interface isn't the most intuitive and the response time can be a little slow but no serious complaints.
If you need to connect to a sales channel via EDI, SPS Commerce is going to be one of the most reliable options to do so. SPS is a large organization, and they seem to have experience connecting with any retailer we would want to do business with. This makes the integration process a lot easier.
The main con is the price. SPS charges a flat per-document fee. When you are receiving large dollar-value orders, this small fee per document doesn't amount to much. However, if you are doing high volume, low dollar-value dropship orders, the fixed fee per document takes out a large percentage of your profit. Depending on the type of business you do, you need to clearly negotiate with SPS to get the pricing that works best for you.
I like that all of our retailers seem to already work with SPS, so our integrations are mostly very easy.
I wish we could have several different users for logging in for our company. Everyone logs in using my name and password
Troubleshooting is difficult because it seems like not too many representatives at SPS are familiar with our particular inventory system. Response time and follow up is slow. This is problematic during document failure due to the chargebacks that can be assessed from vendors.
This program is easy to use. Most of our customers are using this program for EDI, thus we use this program almost daily to get purchase orders from multiple customers and invoice each customer after shipment on a very easy and convenient way. It is a very helpful tool to do invoicing and fasten payment receivable. It also has alert system to tell you if your invoice can not pass on to the customers with reason etc. It is in short a useful and helpful tool to run the daily business through EDI platform. I personally recommend this software to the similar business model as ours.
Besides the Pros for this software, it also has some negative features that I would like to bring up here. It is not easy to look up some information sometimes. Especially when you want to look up some history information, the search criteria is somehow ambitious. It takes time to try an error to search for some information. Also the online chat is not always there, it is usually take you a day to get response for some simple question. Phone in also take quite long wait. It is the most important things I feel SPS commerce should pay more attention to improve.
When I click on a new PO I'd like to be able to toggle from tab to tab however the page changes entirely so sometimes I have to go back and forth too much.. Other than that I love it!
I am very happy we selected to implement the SPS adapter to automatically take our orders and interface with Quick Books and our ERP system. This has saved me countless hours of work. The testing and implementation support has been outstanding and their representative is professional, patient and very knowledgeable, Time is Money :-)
There are a few tweaks we have had to hard code but other than that I would say there was nothing to not like about the software. There is a half hour delay between the time the order hits fulfillment until the time I get a new order email.
I like the ease of being able to fill out ASN's and invoicing, as well as any other customer unique documents.
I cannot stand the fact that when there are multiple pieces in a carton , and if there are only 2 items on the order, why the select item screen still appears. There are only 2 items on the order.If there are multiple items in the carton, they must be those 2! I get it if it was 3 or more.
I love the fact that you can put your email in this software and it alerts you to anything new in the portal to be aware of. I also love how easy it is to receive PO's from customers and invoice them all in one place.
I wish it was easier to search for my customers, as sometimes it doesn't find who I'm searching for.
Pricing and billing. It seems like one is nickel and dimed for every little thing. They will give back credits to make it seem as if you are getting something for nothing. The billing can be terrible if you do not have the right sale rep or person to set everything up correctly or fix it.
The SPS Commerce Fulfillment software offers most of the functions needed to process customer orders.
Some of the processes are cumbersome and not as efficient as other software. The user interface isn't the easiest to use. Transaction pricing also not as low as other software options.
It's easy to add partners and new setups.
For customers that are invoice only in EDI, adding new items to their cross reference table is cumbersome. Wish I could do it myself.
We honestly do not know much about EDI and the SPS team always help us out and gets issues resolved promptly.
Our set up with Target was very painful and so difficult. The person that helped us set it up was not very helpful.
SPS Commerce EDI Fulfillment allows us to bring up new customers more quickly than when we did it all in house.
It's expensive to add a new customer . If they require EDI transactions but they don't meet the transaction threshold then we typically put them on Webforms. This adds to the complexity for handling their transactions.
Integrates very well with WMS system. Very seamless.
If a transaction doesn't get sent to our WMS system there is no way for us to have the file resent. We need to contact support. Support however is very quick to respond. Seems like an unnecessary step.
Easy to install and work with. Very user friendly. Customer service is very helpful.
can be unforgiving. send documents with mistakes. Cant correct without redoing the entire process.
Super easy to get set up with and use. Very user friends UI and they are always making improvements.
Transitioning from their old platform (web forms) to their new one (fulfillment) was a bit clunky but nothing too bad. Other than that, which is over now, everything has been great.
Very easy to use. Once everything is setup we get prompt emails for orders received. This helps us in processing the order. Once we login to the portal everything is just a click away. All the open order are shown on the dashboard instantaneously. Furthermore, there are very userfriendly and vibrant buttons or blocks that differentiate between orders, errors, shipments, and invoices. If anything is missing from any order for example shipping information or invoicing information, it's just a click away to complete it. When we open the order, the presentation of the order workflow is so easy to understand, even a layman with no technical information can easily understand at which stage the order is. We have one of our trusted resellers also using it and they are able to extract information very easily. Also, when we signed up I was afraid I would not understand how everything works on the SPS portal, but the training center feature helped me greatly understand how each of the processes works. I had an issue once, I was unable to find the carrier code for one of my carriers, I talked to the support rep and she helped me with it. Although it took her some time also to find it but the issue was resolved.
Well, I wouldn't say its a very bad feature but when I tried adding more users to our account, like our accounts personnel and other team members who interact with it, there was a fee associated with it. It's not a con but we were not informed about it before.
Seamless integration with varied retail partners through EDI link up, real-time receipt of digital documents from party to party, ability to accept or reject PO revisions with select retail partners, endless types of transactions to conduct business through in the software platform (from initial PO receipt up to freight/logistics servicing and finally to the sought after finish line with the fulfillment/invoicing of PO's), back-end deduction claims management, debit-credit adjustments and remittance advices simplified...and then some.
Manual inputting of data points for all of our PO's serviced via our various national/regional retail partners...has to be a workaround to digitally uplink fulfillments and invoices from ERP platform (NetSuite). At least in my experience, it has all been manual submissions but otherwise, the above reviews would be flawless. Perhaps, the same rule of thought could apply to advance shipment notices for uploading signed BOL's but not as much of a hindrance compared to our constant billing cycle to maintain.
The software is very easy to use. I can navigate through different forms with ease. I can also check for errors before finalizing a form. This allows me to catch any mistakes before finalizing the form.
There is not much I don't like about the system and nothing at this time I would recommend changing or adding.
Customer Support function. I like that you can do a live chat however, I do not like that it can take sometimes 20 min - 2 hours before receiving a response. If you have to navigate away from the page in SPS you will love the chat until your return and click on the chat bubble.
Learning a new procedure had a bit of a learning curve and sometime the software connection can be a bit slow, but haven’t determined if that is a SPS issue or the software their product connects to.
I like that the way SPS Commerce Fulfillment has a check system prior to sending a partner information. It allows for corrections that cannot be made once information has been sent to a partner.
I believe that the software would benefit allowing partners to be aware that different partners have different requirements for information to be input into the system. It would be beneficial if the invoice batches had dollar amount totals per group similar to the count of total invoices sent.
When we started using SPS Commerce, we'd just closed a major deal with Bed Bath and Beyond, and needed their technology in order to meet BBB's shipping requirements. However, the service didn't offer the ability to create dual labels (FedEx and EDI info), so having to put double labels on thousands of cartons cost us a ton in terms of time, and incorrectly labeled packages. We wound up having to switch to another provider who had the capabilities we needed. by SPS Commerce on 10/04/2019 Thank you for your review. We wanted to let you know that the SPS Commerce Carrier Service (https://www.spscommerce.com/products/fulfillment/webforms-edi/carrier-link/) would address the issues you were experiencing. It may not have been available at the time, so we would encourage you to review its capabilities and contact us if you'd like to learn more.
It is intuitive and helps us to refer to other PO's that have not been processed or if we have questions on a PO.
Need to allow for you to update the "Item Accepted", ship date, and acknowledgment of all line items (not available with ADI acknowledgements), at one time. PO's with multiple line items becomes time consuming and not able to acknowledge all at once (i.e WESCO acknowledgements).
A number of years ago, one of our distribution networks started to demand we use an EDI platform for the receipt of purchase orders. Our ERP does not support this feature, so we had to look outside for solutions. We evaluated SPS Commerce and found this service to be the broadest, most user-friendly and economical solution in the marketplace. Some of our other distribution networks have since come on board and created new demands for different functions which SPS offers. Access by all of our departments (sales, customer service, bookkeeping, shipping, etc.) allows us to seamlessly meet our customers' needs.
When rejecting a purchase order, an anticipated ship date still has to be entered in order to process the rejection even though the order is rejected. This often confuses customers because you are both rejecting the order and entering a ship date. If the drop down option is to reject the order, then one shouldn't be forced to also enter a date.
Easy to use, it's quick. I like the abilty to use templates.
limited search options, can't search within po's or by ship to. If you need to print alot (100+) documents, it's pretty slow - sometimes errors out. You cna only print 100 documents at a time.
Its is easy to use. Like that some vendors are more easy than others.
Honestly dislike the updates and also dislike the time lag from when the orders come in and I receive them in my email alert there is a def time lag.
It creates visibility and the tech support team is helpful.
Lack of integrity from the sales team. We were sold on a flat rate contract set to align with a vendor partnership compliance date. Even though the contract date was a month early (SPS Commerce set the deadline to "lock in" the flat rate to a full month before the implementation date with the major Vendor Partner), the sales rep indicated we would see early implementation of order delivery by signing up. When the compliance implementation date was delayed by the vendor partner, the sales team refused to push the start date or offer any delay in the new heavy fees that are triple the old rate. To date, we are paying another fulfillment company for processing this vendor partners orders, while also paying SPS Commerce triple what our previous months average was to not process them. Not the makings for a win-win partnership.
It is very east to use and search for items sent over EDI. With SPS I am able to find items from this morning or 6 months go. It makes researching old items in my system easy.
Their is much that I don't like about this software.
Only being able to have one user login, it would be nice to be able to assign 2 or 3 more user logins so not everyone is using the admin one.
The ability to communicate between retailers and suppliers in a very real time exchange. The ability to merge a large quantity of orders directly into our CMS software for quick and easy fulfillment.
The complicated and lengthy process of sending and receiving PO Acknowledgements and Changes. All recent activity is noted on the over and transaction tabs, making it confusing to scroll through. I like the idea of only showing 1 PO number and having check marks within the box that show the activity that has been completed for that particular PO. This software does not work well with our very unique "small company" CMS/ ERP software. We have to manually print out each PO, manually respond with a PO Acknowledgement after manually checking our inventory, and then have to manually enter the drop ship addresses and order into our software for fulfillment. We then also have to manually respond with ASNs and import invoicing. We do have the ability to merge large quantity orders, with a specially crafted application so long as it only has a few consistent addresses the account/retailer ships to. Automated merging is not possible for many and varying drop ship addresses, those we must manually print, review, and enter through the entire fulfillment process.
THE SOFTWARE IS SO EASY TO USE IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND SITES LIKE THIS BEFORE IT WILL MORE OR LESS WALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW OR DO. WHEN YOU ARE DONE YOU CHECK FOR ERRORS AND THE SOFTWARE LETS YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE AND NEED TO GO BACK AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE FORM IT IS A HEADACHE TO FIX IT.
I LOVE that SPS integrates with our accounting system, so I can import customer orders with the click of a button. I wouldn't want to work without it! It's easy to use, the navigation is very user friendly, and I like that is has all my documents in one place. Customer service/support is great and they are always willing to help.
On the rare occasion, it can be a little slow and/or glitche, but that is probably my own internet more than anything. I do wish that there were page arrows at both the top and bottom of pages. Currently, you can only switch to the next page by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page. When the pages are so long, it would be nice to have that option at the top too!
Consistent uptime
We have had some issues in the recent past where POs were not being delivered on time. We were able to resolve this after calling in to support but it would be good to get some sort of alert when there is an issue.
We had been using a company that was very difficult to deal with and get information from when we had questions. SPS Commerce is very good about answering the phones and having someone that can help with all of our questions. The software is very logical and easy to work with.
I wish only the fields that the customer requires, would show during input. Or the actual needed items would be marked appropriately. This is done somewhat, but not correctly all the time.
What I like most about this software is that it's so user-friendly. I receive a notification when there's a new PO to retrieve and Invoicing is easy.
There's not much to dislike about this software. Occasionally there's a slow-down in processing but that doesn't interfere with work flow.
All tasks for one PO are on the same page. They have improved the speed of the program. They have made creating consolidated ASNs easier.
When it times out from lack of use it gives you an error message instead of just logging you out. Due dates should automatically fill in when ship date and terms are known.
I love that you can use this third party application to ship to customers that are EDI complaint to send ASN and invoices for ease of pay and process turning time.
Learning the system can be confusing and it's not always easy to figure out what IT is refferring to if you are not use to EDI.
Sending ASN's, doing order acknowledgements, and PO confirmations are pretty straightforward. The tech support people are tremendous and very knowledgeable.
Printing a shipping document like a packing slip is cumbersome as it requires an extra step. You have to fill out an ASN as if you were going to send it, but then save it halfway through, and then select print shipping document. Then you have to go back in, once you have shipped and now have your tracking information, and find the old saved original ASN , and then complete it. Not very fluid.
It has repetitious fields that should only have to be filled out once. Sometimes the dropdown menus get confusing as to discounts. I don't like the fact that it only recognizes all caps. The costs to use the product cuts deeply into profits, especially on small orders.
I appreciate the ease of access and quality of service. It is easy to use, and also easy to get in touch with support members when needed.
Not recently, but in the past, there were issues with Java updates and being able to access certain forms. That would be my only complaint, but even this has not been relevant recently.
Ease of use and the fact that we have multiple partners that all use the same platform. Finding the right order with multiple partners can be tough but your system makes it very easy.
Honestly, there is nothing we do not like. We use multiple platforms and yours is by far the easiest and the simplest to use.
Have not yet found anything I don't like.
The efficiency to submit documents, how easy it is to create invoices and advance ship notices. Save a lot of manual entry.
In reviewing the cost I realized that SPS Commerce is very high in price. If as a company you have high volume sales then it is worth the cost.
at this moment, there isn't anything I dislike about the softwear. I did NOT like the upgrade when it first happened, but after a month or so I got used to it and really like it now
Last install took longer and our customer was amazed how long it was taking as normally you have had smooth set-ups for us. After several attempts and days we finally got the resolve though.
I like the work flow screen, and how easy it is to tell if things are complete, saved, etc. I like the reminders on the fulfillment screen
I do not like having to click multiple buttons for product detail, over and over, having to switch from mouse to key board and back. It seems like there should be a way to make this more straight forward.
On Mondays when we received more than 50 PO's, it is very time consuming having to print one PO at a time
ease of use. the functionality and user experience make the software easy for any non-technical user.
lack of features like analytic reporting within their fulfillment feature. I would love to have more more reporting features without having to add it on as another service.
Receive my orders ASAP. If I have a question about any of the orders they are right there to help me.
Sometimes I get lost in the navigation of setting up new things in SPS. I am still working around inside the system trying to learn what all it can do.
The number one thing is the editing the documents for validity. This has prevented many a charge-back from occurring. We also use the Webforms for customers that do not justify a complete EDI connection or one time customers. Seconal or single buy customers a perfect for this. The adhoc reporting makes it easy to find out whats happening with documents.
Set up can be tough at times and rather complicated but then EDI seems to be these days. Some more reporting would be nice to have. Error reporting is getting better but could be better explanations.
User Friendly, any person with common sense and trained in office environment can use this application.
Cannot store over 24+ months more of data, it would be better it it can handle and retrieve archives without paying the fees when you are trying to pull something over 2 years old.
It's intuitive making it easy to learn/understand. The main categories are big, bold and easy to read. The search feature works well.
It takes more "clicks" than necessary to pull up the desired document. I'm always having to use the search feature to navigate the site. I prefer their older format.
