Order to cash for retailers

Order to cash for retailers on SPICE™ covers the selling flows outside the store checkout: orders from franchise, wholesale and business accounts, run as one governed process connected to the retailer's ERP.

Where order to cash fits for a retailer

Your store and e-commerce checkout already handle consumer orders, and SPICE™ doesn’t replace them. SPICE™ covers the business-to-business orders around them, on the same platform as your vendor procure to pay.

Many retailers also sell business to business. Franchisees and licensed stores order from you. Business, institutional and wholesale accounts buy in volume at contracted prices. These flows are smaller than retail sales, but they often run on email, spreadsheets and phone calls, and they carry your brand just the same.

What gets in the way

  • B2B accounts order by email Franchise, wholesale and business customers send orders as spreadsheets or PDFs, and your order desk enters each one by hand.
  • Contract pricing lives outside the storefront Your consumer e-commerce site wasn’t built for account-specific assortments, pricing and ship-to rules.
  • Status questions land on your team Accounts and store staff call to ask where an order is, because nobody can see it in one place.

How SPICE™ handles each order flow

Franchise, wholesale and business accounts. SPICE Trade™ gives these accounts a digital way to buy from you, with their own catalog, contracted pricing and delivery requirements. They place validated orders online or by spreadsheet upload and see confirmations, shipments and invoices in one place. Because SPICE Trade™ reuses your existing order-to-cash integrations, it doesn’t become a second storefront to run.

Accounts that keep emailing orders. SPICE Digital Document Service™ turns emailed and PDF orders into validated, ERP-ready orders, checked against your items, pricing and ship-to masters.

SPICE Connect™ onboards your accounts and supports them in production, so your team isn’t running each connection.

See every order

SPICE Insight™ shows each account order’s lifecycle and exceptions. Your team sees which orders are confirmed but not shipped before the account asks. Pair it with visibility and exception management for retailers to cover the buying side too.
