"Grupo La Moderna knew of SPS Commerce's reputation for reliable solutions and superior customer service," said Hermilo Pena, Director of Information Technology at Grupo La Moderna. "When we made the corporate decision to outsource our EDI needs in order to save the time and money associated with setting up our own EDI system, we immediately called SPS Commerce. Our team met with SPS' implementation staff and visited their datacenter. After this visit, we knew that our EDI couldn't be in better hands. SPS' skills and experience gave us the confidence to place this important business function in their care."

"All of us at SPS Commerce are pleased to have Grupo La Moderna as a part of our community, and assist them in providing electronic order and invoicing to their customers," said Archie Black, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPS Commerce. "We are already working on their behalf to provide a reliable, integrated and affordable EDI solution to easily connect with their valued trading partners."
