SPS Commerce is a corporation based in the United States that provides cloud-based supply chain management software to retailers, suppliers, third-party logistics providers and partners.[6] The company's headquarters are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota,[7] but also has a US office in New Jersey, and international locations in Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto, and Kyiv.[8] In 2015, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that SPS Commerce was ranked by WorkplaceDynamics as the best large workplace in Minnesota.[9] SPS was also ranked among the top 10 fastest growing publicly traded companies in Minnesota in 2014.[10]

History[edit]

The company was founded in 1987; 37 years ago (1987),[11] under the name St. Paul Software.[12] In 2000, the company sold its software business to Netherlands-based TIE Commerce.[13] After the sale, the company primarily offered internet-based business-to-business (B2B) exchanges for retailers and manufacturers.[14] St. Paul Software was renamed SPS Commerce in May 2001.[15] SPS Commerce went public in April 2010 when it debuted on the NASDAQ global market.[16] SPS has enjoyed 91 consecutive quarters of growth, most of which has been organic. They acquire companies where it makes sense, notably:

  • 2011: acquired San Diego-based EDI services company Direct EDI for $10.9M, adding 40 employees in a San Diego office and a development group in Ukraine.[17]
  • 2012: purchased New Jersey-based data analytics firm Edifice for $26M[18]
  • 2014: $14.9M acquisition of LeadTec, an EDI provider headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.[19]
  • 2016: $23M acquisition of ToolBox Solutions [20]
  • 2018: $23M acquisition of CovalentWorks[21]
  • 2019: $11.5M acquisition of long-term technology partner MAPADOC[citation needed]
  • 2020: $100M acquisition of Data Masons[22]
  • 2021: $17M acquisition of Genius Central[citation needed]
  • 2022: $45M acquisition of GCommerce[citation needed]
  • 2022: $49M acquisition of InterTrade[citation needed]
  • 2023: €64.5M acquisition of TIE Kinetix[23]

In addition to acquiring companies, SPS has been acquiring executives to newly created roles to expand the executive team:

  • 2013: SPS hired former Dow Jones CTO Jamie Thingelstad to be CTO[24]
  • 2015: SPS hired former Target Corp CIO Beth Jacob in an executive role.[25][26]
  • 2016: SPS hired Dan Juckniess as CRO[27]
