AI-Powered · No EDI Required

Looking for an SPS Commerce Alternative?

Process B2B orders without EDI complexity. PO2Order uses AI to read any purchase order format — no trading partner setup, no per-transaction fees.

The EDI Problem

EDI is great for big-box retailers who mandate it. But for most B2B merchants, it's overkill.

Why merchants look for alternatives:

Per-Transaction Fees Add Up
$0.10-0.50 per document × thousands of orders = significant hidden costs
Trading Partner Onboarding
Each customer requires EDI setup — weeks of testing per partner
Customers Must Change
Your buyers need to adopt EDI — most smaller buyers can't or won't
Complex Implementation
4-8 weeks minimum, often requires technical resources

How PO2Order solves it:

Flat Monthly Pricing
$0-699/month includes all orders. No per-transaction surprises.
No Partner Setup
AI reads any PO format. New customer? They just email like always.
Zero Customer Change
Your buyers keep emailing PDFs, Excel files, even photos of orders.
Live in 24 Hours
Install app, connect inbox, process first order. That simple.

When should you use SPS Commerce instead?

SPS Commerce is the right choice if:

  • You sell to major retailers (Walmart, Target, Costco) who require EDI compliance
  • You need advanced supply chain documents (ASN, invoices, inventory updates)
  • Your trading partners are already on the SPS network
  • You have dedicated IT resources for integration management

Many merchants use both: SPS Commerce for their large retailer EDI requirements, and PO2Order for all other B2B customers who send orders via email. The solutions complement each other.
