"Bel Brands selected SPS Commerce's outsourced EDI services several years ago, replacing our internal EDI software solution," commented Paul LeMere, IT Director at Bel Brands USA. "We chose SPS as they had the maps we needed already built and in use by other suppliers connecting to our same retail customers. By using SPS, I am worry-free about infrastructure, mapping requirements, and staffing to support this function today and in the future, especially as we look toward implementing SAP across our global company. SPS has the SAP EDI mappings in place and ready for us to use to easily fit our future plans with ease."
