Colony Brands EDI integration: vendor orders in, fulfillment and margin in Rilk

Colony Brands order management for vendors — purchase orders from the catalog and direct-marketing group behind The Swiss Colony arriving through SPS Commerce, picked, shipped, and costed alongside your Amazon and Walmart orders in one Rilk inbox. Connecting directly instead? We'll set that up with you.

Colony Brands is the Monroe, Wisconsin direct-marketing group behind The Swiss Colony and a family of catalog and online brands selling gifts, food, home goods, and apparel — with a fourth quarter that dwarfs the rest of the year.

Frequently asked questions

Does Colony Brands send orders over EDI?

Yes. Colony Brands sends its purchase orders as EDI documents through SPS Commerce, and Rilk reads them straight out of the SPS mailbox you already receive them in.

Can the holiday peak on Colony Brands and Amazon run from one inventory?

Yes. Both draw from the same stock pool.

Does Rilk manage my listings or inventory at Colony Brands?

No. Colony Brands is a purchase-order account, not a marketplace you list on.
