You’re only as good as the products that are on your physical and digital shelves and if you aren’t setting your vendors up for success, you definitely won’t satisfy your customers.
We wanted to find out how best-in-class retailers are investing in foundational tech to ensure their vendors are following protocol and, most importantly, that they have visibility into how they’re performing in a retailer’s store.
So, Omni Talk's Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton welcomed SPS Commerce’s very own Brandon Pierre and David Verette for the latest installment of Omni Talk’s Live Ask An Expert Series on LinkedIn to discuss how they’ve helped retailers and vendors be successful in EDI setup and compliance.
Chris, Anne, David, and Brandon went deep on:
- Tapping tech to help internal EDI teams scale
- Getting internal teams on board with EDI compliance, it’s not just for IT
- Setting up successful vendor compliance manuals and processes
- Getting to the right balance of people, process, and technology

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Trigo, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne:
- Tried to read the tea leaves in Walmart and Home Depot’s latest earnings reports
