Case Study: Red Wing Shoes achieves accelerated omnichannel growth and faster trading-partner onboarding with SPS Commerce

Red Wing Shoes - Customer Case Study

Red Wing Shoes, a century-old footwear brand with 500 stores and products in thousands of retailers, faced a rapidly changing retail landscape: consumers expect seamless digital experiences, and the company’s legacy supply-chain and EDI systems slowed growth and made onboarding new trading partners take six to nine months. To expand into omnichannel retail and support new consumer and B2B initiatives, Red Wing needed scalable, real-time commerce and analytics capabilities.

Red Wing selected SPS Commerce’s cloud-based Fulfillment and Analytics solutions. Fulfillment automated EDI order and invoice flows, improved cross-channel order visibility and cut partner onboarding from months to weeks via the SPS Retail Network (65,000 partners). Analytics delivered real-time POS dashboards and store-level assortment insights so buyers could place the right inventory in the right stores. The result: faster trading-partner connections, smarter inventory and assortment decisions, improved fulfillment and customer satisfaction, and stronger readiness for expanded e-commerce channels.
