About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

SPS Commerce Enhances Offering to Include Suite of Services for Manufacturing Supply Chain

Full-Service Solution Enables Manufacturers to Modernize and Optimize Procurement and Supply Chain Processes

SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPSC), a leader in retail supply chain cloud services, today announced Manufacturing Supply Chain Performance Suite, a Full-service EDI offering designed to help companies who manufacture products modernize and optimize their procurement and supply chain processes. Based on years of experience supporting these organizations, SPS developed this comprehensive solution to help brands, co-manufacturers, and co-packers achieve a better performing supply chain. With Manufacturing Supply Chain Performance Suite, customers can streamline their operations, reduce disruptions, and more efficiently produce and sell goods, allowing them to focus on quality, innovation and growth.

In today’s global manufacturing environment, production depends on the seamless coordination of raw materials and components sourced from suppliers around the world. As supply chains become more complex and interconnected, manufacturers, brands who manufacture products, co-manufacturers and co-packers face mounting pressure to minimize production line delays, maintain data accuracy, and stay agile in the face of disruptions like shifting tariffs, supplier changes, and transportation bottlenecks. Yet many manufacturers still manage procurement and communication through disconnected, manual processes that create inefficiencies, delays, and limited visibility into supplier performance and shipment status.

Manufacturing Supply Chain Performance Suite from SPS Commerce solves these challenges by digitizing and standardizing how manufacturers collaborate with their suppliers. Customers receive full-service support and enjoy the unique benefit of the people, process and technology that has become synonymous with SPS Commerce. The comprehensive solution meets customers where they are at on their journey including:

  • Evaluation of the current state of their supply chain, resulting in a change management program recommendation for both internal teams and external supplier partners.
  • Supplier engagement tailored to their individual business needs whether they already have an EDI solution or need a new one.
  • Ongoing guidance to ensure internal teams and external partners are continuing to adopt the changes.
  • The ability to monitor and measure the business performance of the entire supply chain, and each individual supplier, to track performance against the baseline and drive continuous improvement.

Benefits of the solution include:

  • Process automation that reduces errors and speeds up daily operations, freeing up valuable time to focus on more strategic tasks.
  • Real-time data exchange, providing manufacturers with the visibility and accuracy needed to proactively manage production and avoid costly delays.
  • Simplified and streamlined supply chain collaboration that helps manufacturers stay on schedule, reducing risk and enabling efficient growth in an increasingly dynamic and distributed market.
  • More efficient finance processes that improve cash flow and frees more working capital to invest in growth.

“Disruptions to the supply chain are constant these days, so the ability to have visibility into where our product is at any moment and onboard new suppliers quickly and efficiently is priceless,” said a leading manufacturer of vertical transportation systems. “Manufacturing Supply Chain Performance Suite from SPS Commerce has allowed us to do both, reducing our inventory on hand from 3 months to 2 months, resulting in $15M savings at one factory alone, and resulting in 100% commitment of our 30 vendors. The success we’ve seen with the solution has made SPS an integral part of our operating plans for future phases of business, both domestically & globally.”

“Manufacturing Supply Chain Performance Suite is essential in today’s environment because it gives manufacturers, brands who manufacture products, co-manufacturers and co-packers the ability to operationalize and streamline how they work with their suppliers, improving shipment visibility, operational efficiency, and data accuracy,” said Emily Curran, SPS Commerce Director, Product Management. “That real-time insight into what’s happening across their supply chain prevents production delays, and allows manufacturers to respond faster and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.”

Manufacturing Supply Performance Suite by SPS Commerce is built on more than two decades of experience and over one million successful connections. The solution leverages SPS Commerce’s unparalleled expertise to standardize requirements across diverse retailers, systems, fulfillment models and order channels. Built on the foundations of Full-Service EDI, its dedicated team provides not just technology, but also strategic guidance and change management, ensuring manufacturers stay in sync with evolving market demands.
