Summit Tree Stands Expands Use of SPS Commerce's Outsourced EDI ServiceMinneapolis, Minn., April 30, 2007 - SPS Commerce, a leading trading partner integration center offering fully outsourced Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) functions, announced today that Summit Tree Stands, a leading manufacturer of tree stands used for hunting, is expanding its use of SPS' outsourced EDI service to add four new trading partners. Summit already uses SPS' EDI service with Gander Mountain, and will add connections to Academy Sports + Outdoors, Big Rock Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods and L.L.Bean in 2007. By automating the exchange of Summit's order, shipping and invoice documents with their retail customers, they benefit from a more efficient order process, reduced errors, and eliminate the possibility of misplaced documents.

"Summit's business is growing and we needed to perform EDI with a growing of customers," said Julie Giles, Account Representative at Summit Tree Stands. "As a first-time EDI user, I had already found the SPS service to be easy to follow and it was natural to expand our use of their service to meet our new EDI requirements. I can enter our EDI information online in just a few minutes, and then focus on the other elements of our business. Whenever I needed help from SPS' customer service, my representative went above and beyond my expectations. As EDI issues occur due to new requirements from our retailers, I am relieved that it is SPS Commerce that calls our retailer's EDI departments to resolve any issues on our behalf. With SPS Commerce, EDI just couldn't be any easier."

SPS Commerce offers rapid, turn-key services to connect suppliers with their retail and distributor customers using tested and proven EDI connections and integration services. 65,000 suppliers use one or more of SPS' services to connect to more than 1,200 retailers and distributors worldwide

"All of us at SPS Commerce are pleased to have Summit Tree Stands as a part of our subscriber community, and assist them in providing electronic order and invoicing to their retail customers," said Archie Black, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPS Commerce. "We congratulate them on their growth and are pleased to be their chosen EDI partner."
