SPS Commerce Solutions for Carriers
With few exceptions, all products are moved via truckload (TL), less-than-truckload (LTL) or expedited carriers, such as UPS, at one time or another before reaching their destination or the consumer. Carriers play an important role in virtually every order cycle, but like every partner in the supply chain, carriers can only be as good as their information allows.
SaaS EDI provides the vital information to carriers and their customers that can make the difference between an on-time delivery, and a late or refused shipment that must wait in the yard. Many carriers have turned to EDI to electronically send and receive tenders, shipment statuses, and invoices with their customers.
SPS Commerce has teamed with many carriers to provide them with an outsourced EDI service that eliminates their need to purchase, staff, or maintain an EDI software system internally, thereby reducing their VAN charges. SPS enables carriers to streamline their communications, ensure proper and timely delivery of EDI messages, and focus on transportation, not EDI.
SPS Commerce offers the following solutions for carriers:
- EDI Services for visibility into supply chain transactions with customers and their trading partners.
- EDI Testing to validate the accuracy of any new or modified EDI documents for any trading partner.
- Invoicing is often a challenge for carriers as they work with thousands of customers that each require a unique EDI format for invoices. To map and monitor each of these connections is a complex and time-consuming function for carriers.
With SPS, carriers can streamline this process and shorten payment cycles. The process is simple. A carrier simply sends their invoices to SPS from their internal system and we perform all the mapping and translation necessary to ensure that each of their customers receives the carrier’s invoice fitting their exact specifications. Outsourced EDI is a superior EDI alternative for carriers.
