Why SPICE™

  • Both sides of the transaction Procure-to-pay and order-to-cash share a collaboration platform, with logistics running through both. See the platform.
  • Elevate your customer experience Order accuracy, reliable commitments, timely status and faster issue resolution support the experience your brand promises.
  • Supply chain orchestration Connect transaction context, dependencies and actions across sites, channels and geographies. See process orchestration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should we look for in an EDI provider?

Look beyond document transmission. Ask whether the provider can connect trading partners that don't use EDI, run both procure-to-pay and order-to-cash, relate documents to the orders they belong to and show business users what needs action. Then ask who supports your trading partners after go-live, and whether the deployment model fits your security and data requirements.

How is SPICE™ different?

SPICE™ is a collaboration platform and a governed process, not just connectivity. Procure-to-pay and order-to-cash run on one platform with logistics running through both. Every trading partner takes part, EDI or not, and native middleware means they don't have to change format. Visibility comes with exception management. SPICE Connect™ provides an accountable managed service, and you can run the platform as SaaS or in your own cloud (BYOC).

How does SPICE™ pricing work?

Predictable pricing that flexes to your needs. There are no surprise fees: charges change only with your volume or when you add products. A consultation is the best way to scope pricing against your processes and volumes.

Can SPICE™ work with the ERP we already run?

Yes. SPICE™ is ERP-agnostic. It sits between your ERP and your trading partners, connects through EDI, APIs and files, and delivers validated, ERP-ready transactions. Your ERP stays the system of record. That also means an ERP change, an acquisition or a new business unit doesn't force you to rebuild how your trading partners connect.
