WE NEED YOU IN ORDER TO BETTER SERVE OUR MEMBERS.

Electronic order fulfillment is an integral part of Costco’s supply chain. We
are constantly looking for ways to unlock operational efficiencies and
strengthen our position as an industry leader. In that effort, we have
identified additional order management documents that will allow Costco and our
supplier partners to reap the full benefits of electronic order fulfillment. 
Improved order visibility and tracking will allow us to move your products
through our depots and in to the hands our members faster. These additional
documents will create an improved standard of order management for all Costco
vendor partners.


SPS COMMERCE IS OUR PARTNER ON THIS PROJECT.

You are likely familiar with their organization from your initial EDI connection
with Costco. They will provide support to ensure this process is implemented
successfully by us and our suppliers.

SPS COMMERCE - WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO.

expectations of today’s consumers. Our cloud-based solutions help retailers
