Resources Case Studies
Quaker Boy (www.quakerboy.com) is a mid-size manufacturer of game calls for predator, deer, turkey, elk and waterfowl.
With a rapidly growing business and expanding number of products, Quaker Boy wanted to quickly comply with several of their retail customers’ electronic trading requirements. However, as a small organization they didn’t want an EDI system that required additional internal resources, significant training or computer hardware and infrastructure to maintain. Instead, they looked for a hosted EDI service.
Quaker Boy selected SPS Commerce’s service as it offered a proven solution in use by hundreds of other suppliers of their same retail customers. Within a short period of time, the initial connections to their retail customers were completed and in operation. The company continues to expand its connections with ease as its business grows. Today, Quaker Boy is securely meeting the electronic compliance requirements of Bass Pro Shops, Blain Supply, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Gander Mountain for purchase orders, shipping notices and invoicing using SPS’ WebForms service.
“As a rapidly growing small business, we needed to maintain focus on our core business while meeting the business requirements of our customers. We initially selected the SPS Commerce service as they had the leading edge technology, robust security, in-house experts in EDI and proven connections with our customers. Their personal attention to our business made our decision to select and expand our use of their services easy.”
