We need you in order to grow our business.
Our ask of you is to move to Academy Sports + Outdoors’ new electronic order fulfillment requirements by recertifying and adding the EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment) and the EDI 860 (PO Change) to the order cycle.
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.
SPS Commerce - Who we are and what we do.
SPS Commerce works with retailers to unify their business and meet the expectations of today’s consumers. Our cloud-based solutions help retailers facilitate transparent and collaborative partnerships with their suppliers, brokers, carriers and 3PLs.
