Case Study: Canadian Tire achieves stronger supply chain resilience and faster fulfillment with SPS Commerce

How Canadian Tire improved supply chain resilience to keep pace with evolving market demands through 20+ year strategic partnership with SPS Commerce

Canadian Tire, one of Canada’s largest and most trusted retail brands, needed to strengthen supply chain resilience and support flexible omnichannel fulfillment across more than 1,700 stores. As part of its “Better Connected” strategy, Canadian Tire worked with SPS Commerce to help manage vendor relationships, move products efficiently, and meet changing customer demands with the right inventory in the right place.

SPS Commerce implemented electronic trading and EDI support for Canadian Tire’s vendor network, helping onboard thousands of suppliers and manage millions of transactions each year. This improved forecasting, logistics planning, and product delivery speed, while supporting major business growth; Canadian Tire’s revenue increased from $5.2 billion in 2000 to $17.9 billion in 2022, and SPS Commerce remained a key strategic partner throughout that expansion.
