ZION ROOTSWEAR AUTOMATES ITS SUPPLY CHAIN USING SPS COMMERCE`S HOSTED EDI AND CATALOG SERVICES
Licensed Music Legend Clothing Manufacturer Performs EDI with Famous Bar, Filene`s Basement, Foley`s, Genesco, Hecht`s, Hub Distributing and PacSun
Minneapolis, Minn., June 6, 2005 - SPS Commerce, the leader in hosted Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software, announced today that Zion Rootswear, a leading supplier of licensed clothing featuring music legends such as Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash and Ray Charles, has selected SPS Commerce`s hosted catalog and EDI services to automate its order processes with a growing list of major retail customers. Since early 2005, Zion has been performing EDI with seven retailers, including Famous Bar, Filene`s Basement, Foley`s, Genesco, Hecht`s, Hub Distributing and PacSun. Today they are expanding their use to implement SPS` hosted catalog service as well.
"When electing to become EDI-enabled, we surveyed our retail customers and rapidly selected SPS Commerce based on strong endorsements from several retailers," said Christie Joyce, Special Customer Processing at Zion Rootswear. "We discovered that SPS` solution was by far the easiest to use as, unlike other offerings, its screens, reports and forms were easy-to-read and understand by non-technical users. Throughout Zion`s implementation and day-to-day use, the SPS` technology has run very smoothly and their customer support is always reachable, competent and a pleasure to work with. Choosing SPS Commerce`s service is the best software purchase we`ve ever made."
"We are pleased to welcome Zion Rootswear to our EDI and catalog community," said Archie Black, president and CEO of SPS Commerce. "Customer service, low cost of ownership and system reliability are SPS` priorities. Unlike many technology providers, SPS determined that our customers` time and satisfaction was too precious to simply offer a customer support number with multiple menus and long wait times. Instead, customers like Zion have been delighted to call SPS with any question and reach a live person almost immediately. We appreciate Zion`s support of SPS Commerce and value them as a customer."
