History

The company was founded in 1987 under the name St. Paul Software. In 2000, the company sold its software business to Netherlands-based TIE Commerce. After the sale, the company primarily offered Internet-based business-to-business exchanges for retailers and manufacturers. St. Paul Software was renamed SPS Commerce in May 2001. SPS Commerce went public in April 2010 when it debuted on the NASDAQ global market. Soon after, the company acquired San Diego-based EDI services company Direct EDI for $10.9m, adding 40 employees in a San Diego office and a development group in Ukraine. SPS continued to expand its operations in 2012 with the purchase of New Jersey-based data analytics firm Edifice, and in 2014 with the $14.9m acquisition of LeadTec, a supply chain solutions provider headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. In 2015, SPS hired former Target Corp CIO Beth Jacob in an executive role.
