Electronic Order Fulfillment Initiative

Pet Circle is committed to continually improving our business processes and has a strong focus on enhancing the capabilities and ways that we work with our valued supplier partners.

Our constant endeavors to better align with our supplier partners, we believe, will ultimately help us enhance our mutual operating efficiencies and continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers and supplier partners as we continue to grow exponentially.

We are looking to further strengthen our partnership and collaboration with our valued supplier partners to maximise efficiencies for both parties.

We need your support to streamline our mutual business:

Moving to electronic order fulfillment will allow us to accurately issue orders, accept invoices, communicate changes, and streamline our receiving process. This strategy will ensure Pet Circle has all the tools in place to continue to grow our business with our supplier partners in the most efficient and effective manner for both parties.

We have partnered with SPS Commerce for this project.

SPS have assisted us in designing our order requirements and will provide ongoing support to ensure this process is implemented successfully by us and our supplier partners.
