What is Spencer EDI?

Spencer EDI is a retail compliance framework requiring suppliers to electronically exchange purchase orders, ship notices, and invoices via AS2 connectivity, ensuring accurate data flow and audit-ready documentation across the supply chain. Adherence to Spencer’s EDI specifications prevents chargebacks and streamlines fulfillment operations for wholesale partners.
