What SPS Commerce does

Runs a cloud network connecting retailers, suppliers and logistics partners for order/inventory data exchange (EDI).

Suppliers, not retailers, pay: each subscribes and pays recurring fees that rise with the number of retail partners it connects to and the volume of orders it handles, so every new retailer on the network widens the base. Analytics and onboarding tools are sold as add-ons.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Information technology
  • Supply chain software
  • Retail supply chain network & EDI…

What could go right

  • Growing e-commerce/omnichannel retail complexity
  • Network effect-driven supplier onboarding growth

What could go wrong

  • Retail industry consolidation/bankruptcy risk
  • Competitive EDI/network market

Moat: narrow (network effects, switching costs, scale). A large, established retailer-supplier network creates strong network effects and high switching costs.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
