SPS Commerce's Scan & Pack Service Offers Expanded Capabilities for Grocery Retailers and Suppliers

Sep 13, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leading provider of on-demand supply chain management solutions, today unveiled the latest version of its Scan & Pack service. The enhanced offering delivers many new capabilities to aid vendors in complying with their grocery retail customers' latest fulfillment and shipping requirements with ease. The enhanced offering allows vendors to capture lot and weight information needed for the Advance Ship Notice (ASN) at the point of packing to eliminate manual entry and reduce errors.

The Scan & Pack service is value-added option for SPS Commerce's WebForms and Integrated EDI Services. It simplifies the process of creating and sending ASNs and pre-populates ASNs with pack information captured by scanning contents from boxes.

The newly enhanced Scan & Pack service includes:

  • Lot/Serial Number Capture for improved tracking of lot numbers, useful in the case of food recalls
  • Catch (Random) Weight Capture to enter both quantity and weight of items to facilitate billing of non-standard weight products, such as meats and cheeses
  • Consolidated Shipments to create a single picklist and ASN for multiple orders with the same destination

"The grocery supply chain is unique in many ways, especially as items are often perishable or differ in weight per item," commented Archie Black, president and CEO of SPS Commerce. "Until recently, these nuances created additional challenges that have hindered the adoption of useful transactions including the ASN that can greatly streamline order fulfillment. With Scan & Pack's newest features, grocery vendors can easily provide the detailed information now required by their retail customers."

The latest Scan & Pack service is immediately available from SPS Commerce.
