When Jamie Thingelstad joined SPS Commerce in 2013, his leadership within the technology teams steadily grew the systems management firm’s retail network to become one of the largest in the world. More than 115,000 retailers, grocers, distributors, suppliers, and logistics firms rely on the SPS network to place orders, ship products, and submit invoices. The retail network has more than 1 million connections and manages orders from more than 4,000 buying organizations. With a transaction volume that has increased tenfold since Thingelstad joined, scalability is integral to the Minneapolis firm and its customers. This means implementing industry-leading technology, which has helped the firm grow consecutively for the past 90 quarters.
