Radial VendorNet is the dropship platform Radial operates for retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue; this channel carries Saks dropship traffic under the SaksVNet identifier. Saks runs its dropship program through Radial, with vendors exchanging inventory positions (846), purchase orders, advance ship notices (856), and order status updates so vendor-fulfilled items can be sold on saks.com.
Connecting via Radial Vendornet Saksvnet - Execute the retailer's dropship agreement and set up a supplier account with Radial's onboarding team.
- Choose a connection mode: the VendorNet web portal or full order-lifecycle EDI messaging.
- Map the required documents (846 inventory, purchase orders, 856 ship notices, order status updates) to Radial and Saks Fifth Avenue specifications.
- Complete EDI testing and compliance validation with Radial and Saks before live orders flow.
Testing: System-to-system vendors must pass EDI testing against Radial and Saks Fifth Avenue specifications before go-live. In production, compliance is monitored: the 856 is due the same day an order ships with carrier tracking in the BOL field, inventory feeds are due at least daily, and Saks expects a 98% or higher fulfillment rate.
Timeline: Radial does not publish a fixed onboarding timeline for Saks dropship vendors. The flow runs from the dropship agreement through integration build and document testing; system-to-system EDI integrations generally involve more setup and testing than portal-only participation.
