We need your partnership to evolve and grow our business.
Watch this video to see how automated item attributes and order fulfillment are at the core of optimizing our state-of-the-art, 2.2 million square foot Product Distribution Center (PDC), and how it positively impacts our vendor partners.
DigiKey is undergoing a digital transformation of our internal systems and processes, engineered to standardize, consolidate, and simplify the way we do business. We are requiring all suppliers to take action with us.
SPS Commerce is our partner on this project.
They’ve assisted us in designing our new order requirements and will provide support to ensure this process is implemented successfully by us and our suppliers.
