Mason Companies EDI integration: vendor orders in, fulfillment and margin in Rilk

Mason Companies order management for vendors — purchase orders from the Chippewa Falls catalog and web-store group arriving through SPS Commerce, picked, shipped, and costed alongside your Amazon and Nordstrom orders in one Rilk inbox. Connecting directly instead? We'll set that up with you.

Mason Companies is the Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin group behind a family of footwear- and apparel-led catalogs and web stores — the kind of direct-to-home retail that sells a shoe in every width and pays on terms its customers can manage. For a vendor, it's a purchase-order account: orders that ship to the customer's door under your agreement, in the size runs a footwear catalog demands, arriving through SPS Commerce. Sell on Mason Companies with Rilk. Already on SPS Commerce? Your Mason orders flow in today. Connecting directly instead? We'll set that up with you.

What you can do

• Mason Companies purchase orders land in Rilk automatically from the SPS Commerce mailbox you already receive them in.
• Pick them next to your Amazon, Nordstrom, and Shopify orders — one pick list for the whole size run, wherever the order came from.
• One count behind every size and width. Units on a Mason PO come off the same on-hand your marketplace listings sell from, so a catalog order never oversells a size online.
• Labels in the same workflow on UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL for customer-direct shipments.
• Margin per PO. Cost basis and shipping on every line; post Mason's remittance on the settlements screen and the margin per pair is real.
• SPS keeps carrying acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices back to Mason Companies, as it does today.

What's supported

• Live today via SPS Commerce — Mason Companies purchase orders imported from your SPS mailbox, read-only.
• Order intake with the customer's ship-to and full line-item detail — style, size, width, color — into your unified inbox.
• SKU matching by the part numbers on the PO; unmatched lines are flagged for mapping, never dropped.
• One stock pool with Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, BackMarket, and your other retail accounts.
• Pick, pack, and labels for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL.
• Per-unit cost and profit on every PO line, with the remittance reconciled on the settlements screen.
• Direct connection on request if you aren't on SPS Commerce.

How the Mason Companies inventory sync works

1. Enable SPS Commerce in Rilk with the mailbox SPS gave you and switch on Mason Companies as a trading partner. Map your size-and-width SKUs to Mason's part numbers once; Rilk reads the mailbox and touches nothing, so the files stay for your SPS Adapter.
2. Each catalog order becomes a Mason Companies order in Rilk within minutes — the customer's address carried through, each size-and-width line matched to your SKU by part number. Footwear catalogs sell across a wide size grid, and every variant on the PO arrives as its own line; anything unmatched is flagged rather than dropped.
3. Every pair leaves the same count your Amazon and Nordstrom listings sell from. A Mason order for a 9 wide pulls the 9 wide down on every marketplace listing at the same moment, so a catalog sale never turns into an oversell of the one size you had left.
4. A pair ships as a pair. Each customer-direct shoebox gets a label rate-shopped across UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL in Rilk, next to the marketplace orders for the same style; the ship notice and invoice go back to Mason through your SPS connection.
5. Margin per pair, after the box ships. Cost basis plus the label cost on every pair, Mason's remittance posted on the settlements screen, and Mason Companies inventory management and profit per PO are one view — by style, size, and width if you want it.

Why sell on Mason Companies with Rilk

A footwear catalog is a good account because it sells the sizes and widths the marketplaces don't — and a hard one because the size grid multiplies everything: more SKUs, more lines per PO, more places for a count to drift. Run those POs off a printout and the one 9 wide you had left sells to a catalog customer and an Amazon customer on the same afternoon. Rilk takes every Mason Companies PO straight from SPS into the inbox your team already works, pulls each pair from the same count your listings use, and lands cost and shipping on every line. The catalog runs like another lane of your operation, and the margin per pair is a number you can read the day it ships.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mason Companies send orders over EDI?

Yes. Mason Companies 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 — no re-keying and no portal to check. Rilk never writes to that mailbox: your acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices stay on your own SPS connection, exactly as they run today.

Do I need SPS Commerce to connect Mason Companies to Rilk?

If Mason Companies already sends your purchase orders through SPS Commerce, they flow into Rilk today from that mailbox. If you aren't on SPS or want to connect directly, tell us and we'll set the direct connection up with you.

Does Rilk send ship notices or invoices to Mason Companies?

No. Acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices stay on your SPS Commerce connection, unchanged. Rilk reads the purchase orders and runs picking, shipping, and costing; it never writes to the mailbox.

Does Rilk manage my listings or inventory at Mason Companies?

No. Mason Companies is a purchase-order account, not a marketplace you list on; your item setup lives in your vendor agreement. Rilk keeps the units those POs consume in the same count your Amazon, Nordstrom, and Shopify listings sell from.
