RepSpark gives wholesale brands more ways to grow, not more work.
Welcome to the only wholesale platform built for growth beyond the order.

We'll take your wholesale operations to a whole other level. Brands, reps, and retailers now get a faster, more intuitive experience built to remove friction across the entire wholesale journey.

Which types of companies does RepSpark work with today?
RepSpark supports brands across golf and resort, swim and surf, fitness and athleisure, footwear, uniform and workwear, outdoor and performance gear, pickleball and tennis, and more.
Our platform is used by brands including 5.11 Tactical, Stance, johnnie O, OluKai, TYR, L Space, Bose, Southern Tide, and hundreds more.
Why do brands choose RepSpark over Elastic Suite?
Some competitor pages still describe an older version of RepSpark, not the platform brands evaluate today.
RepSpark Flow, our latest release, introduced a redesigned ordering experience with an always-on persistent cart, modern product pages, simplified navigation, multi-date ordering, and embedded AI powered order insights.
That means buyers can keep moving without losing progress, reps can catch issues earlier, and brands can deliver a more modern wholesale experience without adding chaos behind the scenes.
RepSpark also gives brands capabilities that go beyond standard order capture. Brands can launch event microsites, support decorated and licensed product workflows, publish digital catalogs and line sheets, connect with new retailers through RepSpark Community, and integrate with ERP systems through Open API, flat file sync, and public API resources.
What does Elastic claim, and what do brands need to know?
Claim: “No autosave, risk of losing orders.”
That is not an accurate description of RepSpark Flow. RepSpark Flow now includes an always on, persistent cart that follows users through catalogs, product pages, and reports so they do not lose progress while building orders.
Claim: “Outdated and inaccurate inventory data.”
RepSpark is designed to connect with the systems brands already rely on. RepSpark supports Open API, ERP integration management, flat file sync, and public API resources. In enterprise documentation, RepSpark describes integrations where the ERP serves as the system of record and inventory and orders sync on a defined cadence. The real issue is not whether RepSpark can sync data. The real issue is how a brand wants its integration structured, managed, and surfaced to users.
Claim: “RepSpark struggles to expand beyond golf.”
That does not match RepSpark’s market presence. RepSpark work with swim and surf, fitness and athleisure, footwear, uniform and workwear, outdoor and performance, pickleball and tennis, and golf and resort brands. The customer roster on the page also reflects a broader lifestyle and specialty brand mix well beyond a single channel.
Claim: “Elastic is the more sophisticated option.”
Sophistication in wholesale is not just about how quickly an order is built. It's about how well the platform supports the full business. RepSpark helps brands manage ordering, merchandising, customization, retailer collaboration, event selling, integration, and growth in one place. That is a broader wholesale operating system, not just a faster transaction layer.
How does RepSpark deliver more versus Elastic?
A modern wholesale buying experience.
RepSpark Flow is the most significant update in RepSpark’s nearly 20 year history. It modernizes ordering with fewer clicks, better navigation, a persistent cart, improved product detail pages, and AI powered assistance that helps surface what needs attention. Buyers feel confident faster. Reps spend less time fixing issues. Brands create a buying experience that feels current, polished, and easier to use.
Growth tools beyond the order.
RepSpark is built for brands that want more than basic order entry. Event Microsites help brands turn tournaments, events, gifting programs, trunk shows, and branded pop ups into revenue generating experiences. Community helps brands get discovered by retailers and deepen retailer relationships. Digital catalogs, line sheets, assortments, and branded selling tools help brands present product in a way that is easier to shop and easier to sell.
Customization and licensing workflows built for wholesale.
RepSpark supports product customization through Insignia and licensed product workflows through its Licensing solution. That means brands can manage logo placement, approvals, royalties, product restrictions, and customization during checkout without relying on disconnected manual processes. For brands where decoration, cresting, or licensing matter, this is a major operational and revenue advantage.
ERP connectivity that supports confident selling.
RepSpark’s comparison page and enterprise materials emphasize Open API, ERP integration management, flat file sync, and public API resources. The goal is simple. Keep product, pricing, inventory, order, and invoice data connected so reps and retailers can work with more confidence and less rework.
Retailer discovery and relationship building.
RepSpark is not a lead generation tool. It is a wholesale platform where brands can showcase their assortments to target buyers, let retailers discover products, request access, and place orders directly. Through RepSpark Community, brands can grow visibility, connect with new retailers, and strengthen existing retailer relationships.
RepSpark Community brands average $60 million in orders per year, have seen 64% more retailer requests, and approve 94% of access requests, pointing to strong buyer quality and engagement.
Proof from brands using RepSpark instead of Elastic Suite today?
RepSpark’s strongest response to competitor claims is customer proof.
Turtleson reached more than 40,000 retailers, added more than 200 new shopping relationships, and generated more than $114,000 in Community driven revenue. Andy Plate, President of Turtleson, said, “We felt like we had to be in the Community to be relevant.”
johnnie-O achieved 102 percent retailer growth, a 744 percent increase in B2B order volume, and more than 500 percent growth in custom embroidery. Katie Daly Benjamin, COO, said, “We couldn’t operate without RepSpark.”
Stance grew its independent retail network by 46 percent and increased B2B order growth by 30 percent. Sam Lovell said, “I save hours each day with RepSpark… That’s 260 hours saved a year.”
TYR saw 160 percent growth in independent retail users and 437 percent growth in B2B sales volume. Mary Sisson said, “RepSpark has been an excellent resource…”
5.11 Tactical used RepSpark to unify global operations, support more than 1,600 B2B buyers, and expand into Australia and Hong Kong. Jessica Stevens said, “We’re expanding into Australia and Hong Kong.”
Nexbelt reduced order processing time by 80 percent, from 10 minutes to 1 minute, after moving away from Excel driven workflows. Seth Halliwill said, “I don't have to talk to a co worker to know when things are arriving. I just look it up in RepSpark.”
What do brand buying committee members need to know about why RepSpark is a better voice over Elastic Suite?
For leadership.
RepSpark helps brands grow wholesale without stacking more manual work on the business. You get stronger retailer experiences, cleaner operations, and more room to scale without increasing friction at every stage.
For sales.
Reps need speed, but they also need context, accuracy, and tools that help them sell smarter. RepSpark gives them digital catalogs, assortments, better retailer collaboration, product visibility, and with Flow, AI powered order insights that help them focus on what matters next.
For operations.
RepSpark helps reduce manual coordination across orders, decorated products, events, and retailer management. The platform is built to support the real complexity of wholesale, not just the front end of the cart.
For IT.
RepSpark offers Open API, ERP integration management, flat file sync, and public API resources, which gives teams multiple options for building the right data flow for the business.
Why RepSpark now?
Wholesale has changed. Buyers expect the ease of modern ecommerce. Brands need more visibility, less spreadsheet work, and better control over how products are discovered, merchandised, ordered, and fulfilled.
RepSpark Flow, our latest update, was built for this shift. It combines a more intuitive user experience with AI powered intelligence and persistent ordering workflows, while the broader RepSpark platform gives brands the infrastructure to support growth across sales, operations, merchandising, and retailer relationships.
RepSpark has also been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years, reinforcing its momentum and staying power in wholesale commerce.
