Retailer-compliant fulfillment with SPS Commerce EDI
Selling into Walmart, Target, Costco, or Amazon Vendor Central means EDI compliance isn't optional — it's the cost of doing business. We integrate with SPS Commerce to automate 850s, 856s, 810s, and routing guide execution so your orders ship compliant without manual intervention. No chargebacks, no compliance failures, no lost shelf space.
What syncs automatically
EDI transactions, retailer compliance, and routing guide execution — powered by SPS Commerce integration with our WMS.
Purchase Orders (850)
Retailer POs flow from SPS Commerce into our WMS automatically, with item mapping, ship-to details, and compliance requirements attached.
PO Acknowledgment (855)
We confirm receipt of POs and flag any item or quantity discrepancies back to SPS Commerce within minutes of receiving the order.
ASN / Ship Notice (856)
When we ship, the ASN posts back to SPS Commerce with carton contents, tracking, SSCC-18 labels, and BOL details — before the truck leaves the dock.
Invoices (810)
Invoices generate automatically from shipped orders and post to SPS Commerce for retailer payment processing. No manual entry, no missed invoices.
Inventory Inquiry (846)
Inventory availability syncs to SPS Commerce so retailers see accurate stock levels for replenishment planning and allocation.
Warehouse Ship Order (940)
For 3PL workflows, inbound 940s trigger pick/pack operations in our WMS with all shipping instructions pre-loaded.
Warehouse Ship Advice (945)
Outbound 945s confirm shipment completion with tracking, weight, and carton counts back to your system of record.
Why brands using SPS Commerce choose 3PLGuys
Zero-touch EDI compliance
POs come in, shipments go out, ASNs and invoices post automatically. Your team doesn't touch EDI documents — we handle the translation and transmission.
Routing guide execution
Every retailer has different label formats, carton requirements, and carrier routing. We configure each retailer's rules once, then execute them automatically on every order.
Chargeback prevention
Most chargebacks come from ASN errors, late shipments, or labeling failures. Automated EDI and same-day shipping eliminate the manual errors that trigger penalties.
Retailer onboarding support
Getting set up with a new retailer? We help configure the SPS Commerce trading partner relationship, map your items, and run test orders before go-live.
Multi-retailer from one inventory
Ship to Walmart, Target, Amazon 1P, Costco, and regional retailers from the same inventory pool. SPS Commerce routes each PO to us with the right compliance rules attached.
Visibility for your sales team
Order status, shipment tracking, and compliance documentation flow back through SPS Commerce so your sales team can answer retailer questions without calling the warehouse.
How the integration works
Connect your SPS Commerce account and ship within days, not months.
Connect SPS Commerce to our WMS
We establish the SPS Commerce connection and configure your trading partner relationships. Item mapping, compliance rules, and label templates are set up during onboarding.
POs flow in automatically
When a retailer sends a purchase order through SPS Commerce, it lands in our WMS with ship-to details, item quantities, routing requirements, and must-arrive-by dates.
We pick, pack, and ship compliant
Orders are picked, packed with retailer-specific labels, palletized per routing guide, and shipped same-day. ASN and invoice post back to SPS Commerce automatically.
Built for SPS Commerce sellers
Brands selling into big-box retail
Walmart, Target, Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's — if you're on the shelf, you need EDI compliance. We handle the fulfillment side so you focus on the buyer relationship.
Amazon Vendor Central (1P) suppliers
Amazon 1P has strict routing guides and ASN requirements. We ship to Amazon FCs with compliant labels, SSCCs, and EDI documents that pass receiving without issue.
Grocery and mass-market CPG
Kroger, Albertsons, CVS, Walgreens — grocery and drug retailers have tight delivery windows and chargeback-heavy compliance. SPS Commerce + our execution keeps you compliant.
Omnichannel brands with DTC + wholesale
Run your Shopify DTC and your Target wholesale from the same inventory. SPS Commerce handles B2B orders while your DTC orders flow through standard integrations.
EDI Documents We Handle
Full EDI translation and transmission — your team never touches raw EDI files.
Purchase Order
The retailer's order. Contains line items, quantities, ship-to addresses, must-arrive-by dates, and retailer-specific compliance codes.
Missing or incorrect 850 processing = wrong items shipped = chargebacks.
PO Acknowledgment
Confirms we received the PO and can fulfill it. Flags backorders or item discrepancies before picking begins.
Late or missing 855 = retailer uncertainty = potential order cancellation.
Advance Ship Notice
Sent before shipment arrives. Contains SSCC-18 barcodes, carton contents, tracking numbers, and BOL references.
ASN errors are the #1 cause of chargebacks. We validate every field before transmission.
Invoice
Billing document sent after shipment. Auto-generated from confirmed shipments with correct pricing and terms.
Invoice timing matters. We send within hours of shipment, not days.
Inventory Inquiry/Advice
Real-time inventory availability for retailer replenishment systems. Prevents overselling and allocation conflicts.
Stale inventory data = stockouts or oversells at retailer level.
Warehouse Shipping Order
3PL-specific document instructing us to ship from your inventory. Common in brand-to-3PL workflows.
940 accuracy determines pick/pack accuracy.
Warehouse Shipping Advice
Confirmation that we shipped the 940. Includes tracking, weights, and carton details for your records.
Closes the loop on 3PL fulfillment with auditable shipment data.
Chargeback Prevention Built Into Every Shipment
Retailers issue chargebacks for ASN errors, late shipments, wrong labels, and routing guide violations. Our SPS Commerce integration eliminates the manual errors that trigger these penalties.
ASN timing
Problem: ASN sent after shipment arrives
Our fix: ASN transmits within minutes of trailer departure, always before arrival.
ASN accuracy
Problem: Carton contents don't match ASN
Our fix: Scan-verified packing with real-time ASN generation from actual pack data.
Label errors
Problem: Wrong SSCC, missing GS1-128, incorrect placement
Our fix: Retailer-specific label templates with automated print-and-apply.
Routing violations
Problem: Wrong carrier, missed appointments, incorrect pallet config
Our fix: Routing guide rules enforced in WMS — operators can't deviate.
OTIF failures
Problem: Shipment arrives late or incomplete
Our fix: Same-day shipping for orders received before cutoff. At-risk alerts for tight windows.
