Integrated supply chain solution for SMBs

MINNEAPOLIS & PITTSBURGH, USA: Leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) supply chain and logistics solution providers, SPS Commerce and 7Hills, unveiled a new offering for small and mid-sized (SMB) organizations.

The integrated solution combines robust B2B integration or EDI from SPS Commerce with proven logistics management capabilities from 7Hills, both delivered in a SaaS or on-demand model to eliminate the need for on-site software, hardware, and expertise. Mid-sized businesses increasingly need to meet performance, visibility, and compliance standards previously achieved only by large suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers.

This SaaS solution enables SMBs to meet these same needs more rapidly and cost-effectively, enabling them to better compete and deliver improved customer service. 7Hills and SPS Commerce are also partners with SaaS or on-demand, integrated business management software leader, NetSuite.

“SPS’ customers are continually looking to further expand their use of SaaS solutions for their supply chain,” said David Novak, Executive Vice President of Business Development at SPS Commerce. “Integrating with leading solutions, including 7Hills’ eBizNET-SC Suite and NetSuite, provides SPS’ 11,000 supply-side customers with additional capabilities using the on-demand software delivery model that they prefer. We are pleased to be a strategic partner of 7Hills and offer integrated logistics management capabilities to our B2B integration customers.”

The 7Hills’ eBizNET-SC is a suite of web-based applications that bring high accessibility to manufacturers, distributors and logistics firms with geographically distributed operations. SPS Commerce’s outsourced supply chain solutions include EDI, catalog and barcode label services for retailers, suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers.

“7Hills and SPS Commerce are committed to helping companies of all sizes better compete in today’s aggressive and fast paced marketplace,” stated Bob Kennedy, Executive Vice President of Business Development at 7Hills. “Our combined solution can link all trading partners in the supply chain with the information and movement of goods needed to fulfill their role. We are pleased to have teamed with SPS Commerce to offer this unique and important solution.”
