Rue Gilt Groupe EDI integration: vendor orders in, fulfillment and margin in Rilk

Rue Gilt Groupe order management for vendors — purchase orders from Rue La La and Gilt events 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.

Rue Gilt Groupe runs Rue La La and Gilt — the flash-sale sites where a brand's boutique opens for a few days, sells hard to a members-only audience, and closes. For a vendor, that's a distinctive rhythm: quiet, then a purchase order for everything the event sold, with a shipping window attached, arriving through SPS Commerce under the terms of your agreement. Sell on Rue Gilt Groupe with Rilk. Already on SPS Commerce? Your Rue La La and Gilt orders flow in today. Connecting directly instead? We'll set that up with you.

What you can do

• Rue Gilt Groupe purchase orders land in Rilk automatically from your SPS Commerce mailbox the moment an event's PO is issued.
• Pick the whole event from one list, next to your Amazon and Nordstrom orders, instead of working a portal export.
• One count behind every style. Units on an event PO come off the same on-hand your marketplace listings sell from — no rationing stock for the sale.
• Labels in the same workflow on UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL, so the event ships inside its window.
• Margin per event. Cost basis and shipping on every line; post the remittance on the settlements screen and you know what the sale actually made.
• SPS keeps carrying acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices back to Rue Gilt Groupe, as it does today.

What's supported

• Live today via SPS Commerce — Rue Gilt Groupe purchase orders imported from your SPS mailbox, read-only.
• Order intake with full line-item detail — style, size, color, quantity — into your unified order inbox.
• SKU matching by the part numbers on the PO; an unmatched line is 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 Rue Gilt Groupe inventory sync works

1. Enable SPS Commerce in Rilk with the mailbox SPS gave you and switch on Rue Gilt Groupe as a trading partner — before the boutique opens, not after the PO lands. Rilk reads that mailbox and touches nothing; the files stay for your SPS Adapter.
2. When an event closes and the PO issues, it becomes a Rue Gilt Groupe order in Rilk within minutes — every style, size, and color line matched to your SKU by part number, with the quantities the members actually bought. Anything unmatched is flagged, not dropped.
3. Those units leave the same count your Amazon and Nordstrom listings sell from. An event that clears a size pulls that size to zero everywhere else at the same time, so a good sale never turns into an oversell on a full-price channel.
4. Pick the event as one job and ship it inside the window. Labels are bought in Rilk on UPS, FedEx, USPS, or DHL — rate-shopped per package, because event margins are set before you ship — and the ship notice and invoice go back to Rue Gilt Groupe through your SPS connection, as they do now.
5. Margin per event, not per month. Cost basis plus the label on each unit, the remittance posted on the settlements screen, and Rue Gilt Groupe inventory management and what each boutique actually earned are one view before the next one opens.

Why sell on Rue Gilt Groupe with Rilk

A flash sale is the best kind of demand — concentrated, members-only, and gone before it cannibalizes your full-price channels. It's also the hardest kind to run off a spreadsheet: a large PO lands all at once, the shipping clock starts, and the same styles are still live on Amazon and Nordstrom from a count nobody has updated. Rilk brings the event PO out of SPS into the inbox your team already works, pulls each unit from the same count your listings use, and lands cost and shipping on every line. You ship the event on time from one operation, and the margin on it is a number you can read before the next boutique opens.

Frequently asked questions

Does Rue Gilt Groupe send orders over EDI?

Yes. Rue La La and Gilt event purchase orders arrive 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 Rue Gilt Groupe to Rilk?

If Rue Gilt Groupe 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 Rue La La or Gilt?

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.

Can an event PO and my full-price listings share the same stock?

Yes — that's the point. There's one count behind the SKU. When the event PO takes the units, your Amazon, Nordstrom, and Shopify quantities drop in step, so you don't hold stock back for the sale or oversell it afterward.

Does Rilk push inventory or manage the boutique on Rue La La or Gilt?

No. The event and its item setup live in your agreement with Rue Gilt Groupe. Rilk's job is the PO — the order, the pick, the label, and the cost per unit.
