Network onboarding

Nicholas and Company (via SPS Commerce) is routed through SPS Commerce

Stacksync maintains a certified SPS Commerce connection covering 74 trading partners across 94 channels. Onboarding with Nicholas And Company 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
  1. Open an SPS Commerce account, typically in response to a retailer compliance or onboarding campaign that names SPS as its EDI testing partner.
  2. 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.
  3. Map documents to each retailer's specification; SPS consultants review the retailer-specific requirements.
  4. Complete the SPS testing and certification program: connectivity testing with retailer-specific test data, process validation, and an optional fulfillment trial.
  5. 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.
