Network onboarding
GNC (via SPS Commerce) is routed through SPS Commerce
Stacksync maintains a certified SPS Commerce connection covering 74 trading partners across 94 channels. Onboarding with GNC on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.
SPS Commerce operates a full-service retail EDI network that the company describes as the world's largest, citing more than 1,000,000 connections and 4,000-plus retailers and distributors. Retailers route supplier compliance programs through SPS, which tests and certifies each supplier connection on the retailer's behalf. Traffic centers on retail order-to-cash documents: purchase orders (850), invoices (810), advance ship notices (856), acknowledgments (855), order changes (860), and inventory advice (846).
Connecting via SPS Commerce
- Open an SPS Commerce account, typically in response to a retailer compliance or onboarding campaign that names SPS as its EDI testing partner.
- Choose a connection model: the web fulfillment portal, a prebuilt integration to one of 100-plus ERP, WMS, or accounting systems, or direct EDI over AS2, FTP, or a VAN.
- Map documents to each retailer's specification; SPS consultants review the retailer-specific requirements.
- Complete the SPS testing and certification program: connectivity testing with retailer-specific test data, process validation, and an optional fulfillment trial.
- Cut over to production document exchange with the retailer.
Testing: SPS runs a staged program before go-live: consultants review the retailer's requirements, the supplier exchanges retailer-specific test data over its chosen transport (VAN, AS2, or FTP), the end-to-end process is validated, and an optional fulfillment trial exercises sample orders. Test data sets follow the retailer's order management model. SPS also maintains thousands of pre-mapped EDI connections across its network, which reduces map-building for common retailer requirements.
Timeline: SPS states that new trading partner setups averaging 8-plus weeks across the industry can complete through its testing service in 5 business days. Actual timing depends on the retailer's compliance calendar and how deeply the supplier integrates its ERP.
