Where SPSC is headed
SPS Commerce sits in an unglamorous but sticky corner of B2B software. It runs the electronic data interchange between roughly 120,000 retailers, brands, distributors, and 3PLs, translating purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, and item data across trading partners that would otherwise be shouting at each other in incompatible formats. The business model is subscription per trading connection, network effects compound as retailers mandate SPS onboarding for suppliers, and gross margins sit near 70% with 96%+ retention. This is a boring toll booth on the guts of physical commerce. The problem in 2026 is not the business, it is that growth has decelerated from mid-teens to 5.6% as the SupplyPike and TIE Kinetix acquisitions lap and organic supplier adds slow with tariff-driven retail uncertainty.
