Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview	1. Overview
	PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company;” “Supplies Distributors” refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; “Retail Connect” refers to PFSweb Retail Connect, Inc.; “REV” collectively refers to REV Solutions, Inc. and REVTECH Solutions India Private Limited; “LAL” refers to LiveAreaLabs, Inc., and “PFSweb” refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, excluding Supplies Distributors and Retail Connect.
	PFSweb Overview
	PFSweb is a global provider of omni-channel commerce solutions, including a broad range of technology, infrastructure and professional services, to major brand name companies and others seeking to optimize their supply chain and to enhance their online and traditional business channels and initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFSweb’s service offerings include website design, creation and integration, digital agency and marketing, eCommerce technologies, order management, customer care, logistics and fulfillment, financial management and professional consulting.
	Supplies Distributors Overview
	Supplies Distributors and PFSweb operate under distributor agreements with Ricoh Company Limited and Ricoh USA Inc., a strategic business unit within the Ricoh Family Group of Companies (collectively hereafter referred to as “Ricoh”), under which Supplies Distributors acts as a distributor of various Ricoh products. The majority of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh.
	Supplies Distributors has obtained financing (see Notes 4 and 5) to fund the working capital requirements for the sale of primarily Ricoh products. Pursuant to the transaction management services agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides to Supplies Distributors transaction management and fulfillment services, such as managed web hosting and maintenance, procurement support, web-enabled customer contact center services, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services, information management, and international distribution services. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities for its sale of Ricoh products. Supplies Distributors sells its products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
	All of the agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors were made in the context of a related party relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of PFSweb’s and Supplies Distributors’ arrangement with Ricoh. Although management believes the terms of these agreements are generally consistent with fair market values, there can be no assurance that the prices charged to or by each company under these arrangements are not higher or lower than the prices that may be charged by, or to, unaffiliated third parties for similar services. All of these transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition of REV	2. Acquisition of REV
	On September 3, 2014, Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, acquired the outstanding capital stock of REV, which provides eCommerce website technical design, development and support services, enabling retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to optimize the customer experience across multiple channels.  REV maintains operations in the United States and India.  Consideration paid for the shares included an initial $2.6 million cash payment.  In December, 2014, PFS paid an additional $0.6 million, which represented a true-up adjustment based on REV’s final shareholders’ equity balance compared to the balance as of the date of acquisition. The purchase agreement provides for future earn-out payments (“REV Earn-out Payments”) payable in 2015 and 2016 based on REV’s achievement of certain 2014 and 2015 financial targets, with a guaranteed minimum of an aggregate of $1.4 million and an aggregate maximum of $3.25 million, in each case, subject to possible offsets for indemnification and other claims arising under the purchase agreement.  At PFS’ election, up to $0.2 million and $0.3 million of the 2014 REV Earn-out Payments and 2015 REV Earn-out Payments, respectively, are payable in unregistered shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized a total liability of $2.9 million applicable to the projected REV earn-out payments, of which, $1.4 million is reflected as a current liability and is expected to be paid in 2015.
	The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including an allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of REV have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company determined fair value using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation methods.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	765
	Accounts receivable		1,753
	Property and equipment		289
	Identifiable intangibles		1,019
	Other assets		16
	Total assets acquired		3,842
	Total liabilities assumed		655
	Net assets acquired		3,187
	Total purchase price		5,943
	Goodwill	$	2,756
	Purchase price for REV is as follows (in thousands):
	Aggregate cash payments	$	3,161
	Performance-based contingent payments		2,782
	Total purchase price	$	5,943
	The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Total goodwill of $2.8 million, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, is not being amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test using a fair-value-based approach.
	The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets acquired using a pattern in which the economic benefit of the assets are expected to be realized by the Company over their estimated remaining useful lives. There are no residual values for any of the intangible assets subject to amortization acquired during the REV acquisition.
	Definite lived intangible assets acquired in the REV acquisition consist of (in thousands):

	Acquisition of LAL
	Effective September 22, 2014, PFS acquired the outstanding capital stock of LAL, which provides digital agency services including strategy, branding, website design, visual design, copywriting, interactive development and support services primarily to manufacturers and retailers.  LAL operates in the United States. Consideration paid for the shares included an initial $4.0 million cash payment and 54,604 unregistered shares of Company stock (approximately $0.5 million in value as of acquisition date).  The purchase agreement provides for future earn out payments (“LAL Earn-out Payments”) payable in 2015 and 2016 based on LAL’s achievement of certain 2014 and 2015 financial targets, with no guaranteed minimum and an aggregate maximum of $3.0 million, in each case, subject to possible offsets for indemnification and other claims arising under the purchase agreement. At PFS’ election, up to 25% of the 2015 LAL Earn-out Payments are payable in unregistered shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized a total liability of $2.5 million applicable to the projected LAL earn-out payments, of which, $1.0 million is reflected as a current liability and is expected to be paid in 2015.
	The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including an allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of LAL have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company determined fair value using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation methods.

	The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Total goodwill of $5.6 million, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, is not being amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test using a fair-value-based approach.
	The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets acquired using a pattern in which the economic benefit of the assets are expected to be realized by the Company over their estimated remaining useful lives.

Significant Accounting Policies	3. Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Investment in Affiliates
	Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $5.0 million or decreased to less than $2.5 million without prior approval of certain of the Company’s lenders (see Notes 4 and 5). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Subordinate Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	PFS has also made advances to LAL, which totaled $0.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
	Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
	Revenue and Cost Recognition
	The Company derives revenue primarily from services provided under contractual arrangements with its clients or from the sale of products under its distributor agreements. The following revenue recognition policies define the manner in which the Company accounts for sales transactions.
	The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, product shipment or delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
	In instances where revenue is derived from sales of third-party vendor services, the Company records revenue on a gross basis when the Company is a principal to the transaction and net of costs when the Company is acting as an agent between the customer or client and the vendor.  The Company considers several factors to determine whether it is a principal or an agent, most notably whether the Company is the primary obligor to the vendor or customer, has established its own pricing and has inventory and credit risks, if applicable.
	Product Revenue Activity
	Depending on the terms of the customer arrangement, Supplies Distributors recognizes product revenue and product cost either upon the shipment of product to customers or when the customer receives the product. Supplies Distributors permits its customers to return product for credit against other purchases, which include returns for defective products (that Supplies Distributors then returns to the manufacturer) and incorrect shipments. Supplies Distributors provides a reserve for estimated returns and allowances and offers terms to its customers that it believes are standard for its industry.
	Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. Freight costs incurred are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
	Under its distributor agreements (see Note 7), Supplies Distributors bills Ricoh for reimbursements of certain expenses, including: pass-through customer marketing programs, including rebates and coop funds; certain freight costs; direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by Ricoh to Supplies Distributors or its customers to cover price protection and certain special bids; the cost of products provided to replace defective product returned by customers; and certain other expenses as defined. Supplies Distributors records these reimbursable amounts as they are incurred as other receivables in the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding reduction in either inventory or cost of product revenue. Supplies Distributors also records pass-through customer marketing programs as a reduction of both product revenue and cost of product revenue.
	Service Fee Revenue Activity
	The Company’s service fee revenue primarily relates to its distribution services, order management/customer care services, professional digital agency and technology services. The Company typically charges its service fee revenue on either a cost-plus basis, a percent of shipped revenue basis , on a time and materials, project or retainer basis for professional services, or a per transaction basis, such as a per item basis for fulfillment services or a per labor hour basis for web-enabled customer contact center services. Additional fees are billed for other services.
	The Company evaluates its contractual arrangements to determine whether or not they include multiple service elements.  Revenue recognition is determined for the separate service elements of the contract in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there are no return rights or other contingencies present for the delivered elements.  The Company allocates revenue to each element based on estimated selling price.  Each of the Company’s client contracts, and the related services, is unique, with individual needs and criteria customized for each client.  Each client engagement is scoped and priced separately and as such the Company is not able to establish vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for its services, nor is third-party evidence available to establish stand-alone selling prices.  Accordingly the Company uses management’s best estimate of selling price for the deliverables. The Company establishes its estimates considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls as well as market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies.
	Distribution services relate primarily to inventory management, product receiving, warehousing and fulfillment (i.e., picking, packing and shipping) and facilities and operations management. Service fee revenue for these activities is recognized as earned, which is either (i) on a per transaction basis or (ii) at the time of product fulfillment, which occurs at the completion of the distribution services.
	Order management/customer care services relate primarily to taking customer orders for the Company’s clients’ products. These services also entail addressing customer questions related to orders, as well as cross-selling/up-selling activities. Service fee revenue for this activity is recognized as the services are rendered. Fees charged to the client are on a per transaction basis based on either (i) a pre-determined fee per order or fee per telephone minutes incurred, (ii) a per dedicated agent fee, or (iii) are included in the product fulfillment service fees that are recognized on product shipment.
	Professional consulting and technology service revenues primarily relate to design, implementation, service and support of eCommerce platforms, website design and solutions and quality control for the Company’s clients.  Additionally, the Company provides digital agency services that enable client marketing programs to attract new customers, convert buyers and increase website value. These fees are typically charged on either a per labor hour or transaction basis, a dedicated resource model, a fixed price arrangement, or a percent of merchandise shipped basis. Service fee revenue for this activity is generally recognized as the services are rendered.
	The Company performs front-end set-up and integration services to support client eCommerce platforms and websites. When the Company determines these front-end set-up and integration services do not meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, the Company defers the start-up fees received and the related costs, and recognizes them over the contract term which the Company believes approximates the performance period. When the Company determines these front-end set-up and integration services do meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, for time and material arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered and costs as they are incurred. For fixed-price arrangements, the Company uses the completed contract method to recognize revenues and costs if reasonable and reliable cost estimates for a project cannot be made. If reasonable and reliable costs estimates for a project can be made, the Company recognizes revenue over the contract term on a proportional performance basis, as determined by the relationship of actual costs incurred compared to the estimated total contract costs.
	The Company’s billings for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, including travel and certain third-party vendor expenses such as shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges, are included in pass-through revenue. The related reimbursable costs are reflected as cost of pass-through revenue.
	The Company’s cost of service fee revenue, representing the cost to provide the services described above, is recognized as incurred. Cost of service fee revenue also includes certain costs associated with technology collaboration and ongoing technology support that include maintenance, web hosting and other ongoing programming activities. These activities are primarily performed to support the distribution and order management/customer care services and are recognized as incurred.
	Accounts Receivable
	The Company recognizes revenue and records trade accounts receivable, pursuant to the methods described above, when collectability is reasonably assured. Collectability is evaluated in the aggregate and on an individual customer or client basis taking into consideration payment due date, historical payment trends, current financial position, results of independent credit evaluations and payment terms. Related reserves are determined by either using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories based on historical results, reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received, or a specific identification method. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
	Deferred Revenues and Deferred Costs
	The Company primarily performs its services under multiple year contracts, certain of which include early termination provisions, and clients are obligated to pay for services performed. In conjunction with these long-term contracts, the Company sometimes receives start-up fees to cover its implementation costs, including certain technology infrastructure and development costs. When the Company determines that these set-up and integration activities do not meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, the Company defers the start-up fees received, and the related costs, and recognizes them over the contract term, which the Company believes approximates the performance period. The amortization of deferred revenue is included as a component of service fee revenue. The amortization of deferred implementation costs is included as a cost of service fee revenue. To the extent implementation costs for non-technology infrastructure and development exceed the corresponding fees received, the excess costs are expensed as incurred. The following summarizes the deferred implementation revenues and costs, excluding technology and development costs that are included in property and equipment (in thousands):
		December 31,
		2014			2013
	Deferred implementation revenues
	Current	$	9,098		$	8,181
	Non-Current		5,355			7,491
		$	14,453		$	15,672
	Deferred implementation costs
	Current	$	3,309		$	1,977
	Non-Current		1,279			1,780
		$	4,588		$	3,757
	Current and non-current deferred implementation costs, excluding technology and development costs, are a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively.
	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	No product revenue customer or service fee client relationship represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.  One client exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.
	The Company has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.
	The Company has multiple arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and Ricoh. These arrangements include Supplies Distributors’ distributor agreements and certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements. The majority of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh. Supplies Distributors also relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business. In addition, Supplies Distributors has product sales to IBM and Ricoh business affiliates.
	As a result of certain operational restructuring of its business, Ricoh has implemented, and will continue to implement, certain changes in the sale and distribution of Ricoh products. The changes have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities, when acquired, of three months or less. At times, the Company has cash balances in bank accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses related to these cash concentrations.
	Other Receivables
	Other receivables include $3.6 million and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily for amounts due from Ricoh for costs incurred by the Company under the distributor agreements (see Note 7). In addition, other receivables include $1.3 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, applicable to value added tax receivables.
	Inventories
	Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost.
	Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under its Ricoh distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined (see Note 7). In the event PFSweb, Supplies Distributors and Ricoh terminate the distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
	Supplies Distributors’ inventories include merchandise in-transit that has not been received by the Company but that has been shipped and invoiced by Supplies Distributors’ vendors. The corresponding payable for inventories in-transit is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
	The Company reviews inventory for impairment on a periodic basis, but at a minimum annually. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the fair value of the inventory. The reserve for slow moving or excess inventory was $0.8 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Property and Equipment
	The components of property and equipment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
		December, 31						Depreciable
		2014			2013			Life
	Purchased and capitalized software costs	$	44,514		$	39,829		2-7 years
	Furniture and fixtures		23,456			23,158		2-10 years
	Computer equipment		12,184			11,050		3-5 years
	Leasehold improvements		13,825			13,648		3-10 years
	Other		1,144			2,520		3-5 years
		95,123			90,205
Less-accumulated depreciation and amortization		(68,519	)		(63,015	)
Property and equipment, net	$	26,604		$	27,190
The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. Additionally, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company records impairment losses, if any, in the period in which the Company determines the carrying amount is not recoverable. Recoverability of any assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. This may require the Company to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. During 2014 and 2013, no impairment of property and equipment was identified or recorded.
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Capitalized implementation costs are depreciated over the respective client contract term, which the Company believes approximates the performance period.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment, excluding capital leases, during 2014 and 2013 was $9.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
The Company’s property held under capital leases amount to approximately $4.8 million and $4.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $4.0 million and $4.4 million, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during 2014 and 2013 was $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company reviews goodwill for an impairment at least annually.  Long-lived assets include property, intangible assets, goodwill and certain other assets. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined using appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis or similar valuation techniques. We make judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. We record impairment losses in the period in which we determine that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This may require us to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.
Operating Leases
The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center, sales, professional services and corporate offices, as well as certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2024. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases. The Company recognizes escalating lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease, and classifies the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
For the Company’s Canadian, European and Indian operations, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates on a monthly basis.
The Company includes currency gains and losses on short-term intercompany advances in the determination of net income and loss. The Company reports gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses stock-based compensation, including stock options, deferred stock units and other stock-based awards to provide long-term performance incentives for its executives, key employees and non-employee directors. From the service inception date to the grant date, the Company recognizes compensation cost for all share-based payments based on the reporting date fair value of the award. After the grant date, compensation cost is measured based on the grant date fair value.  Depending on the conditions associated with the vesting of the award, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award.  The Company records compensation cost as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company estimates the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and estimates the compensation cost for certain of the awards that have a performance condition using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The estimated fair value for awards involves assumptions for expected dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates and the expected life of the award.
Income Taxes
For federal income tax purposes, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2011 through 2014. However, the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that arose prior to 2011 remains subject to examination through the years such carryforwards are utilized. For Europe, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2012 to 2014. However, the utilization of NOL carryforwards that arose prior to 2012 remain subject to examination through the years such carryforwards are utilized. For Canada, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2006 to 2014, depending on the subsidiary. For state income tax purposes, the tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2010 to 2014, depending upon the jurisdiction in which the Company files tax returns. The Company and its subsidiaries have various income tax returns in the process of examination. The Company does not expect these examinations will result in unrecognized tax benefits.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to certain tax positions in income tax expense.
Self Insurance
The Company is self-insured in the U.S. for medical insurance benefits up to certain stop-loss limits. Such costs are accrued based on known claims and an estimate of incurred, but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical lag information and other data provided by claims administrators.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and capital lease obligations, approximate their fair values based on short terms to maturity or current market prices and interest rates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. The following equity awards (see Note 6) have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:  1.6 million and 1.8 million stock options for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; 0.6 million and 0.5 million performance shares for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and 41,000 deferred stock units for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Cash Paid For Interest and Taxes During Year
The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.7 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (see Notes 4 and 5). Income tax payments of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million were made during each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 9).
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein, and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock and Stock Options	6. Stock and Stock Options
	In May 2013, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 3.2 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $4.57 per share, resulting in net proceeds, after deducting offering expense, of approximately $14.1 million.
	Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
	On June 8, 2000, and as amended, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding on July 6, 2000 and each share of common stock issued thereafter. Each Right entitles the registered shareholders to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock at an exercise price of $67, subject to adjustment. The Rights are not currently exercisable, but would become exercisable if certain events occurred relating to a person or group acquiring or attempting to acquire 23 percent or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The Rights expire on July 6, 2015, unless redeemed, exchanged or extended by the Company.
	Stock Compensation Plans
	The Company has an Employee Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Employee Plan”) and a Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Retainer Plan (the “Director Plan”), each as amended and restated (collectively, the “Plans”) under which an aggregate of 4,942,341 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance. The Plans provide for the granting of incentive awards to directors, executive management, key employees, and outside consultants of the Company in a variety of forms such as the award of an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit, among other stock-based awards.  The Company uses newly issued shares of common stock to satisfy awards under the Plans.
	From the service inception date to the grant date, the Company recognizes compensation cost for all share-based payments based on the reporting date fair value of the award. After the grant date compensation cost is measured based on the grant date fair value. Depending on the conditions associated with the vesting of the award, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award.
	Total stock-based compensation expense was $3.1 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014, there was $2.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.  This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards.
	As of December 31, 2014, there were 1,537,957 shares available for future grants under the Plans.  Each stock option or stock appreciation right award granted reduces the total shares available for grant by one share, while each award granted other than in the form of a stock option or stock appreciation right reduces the shares available for grant by 1.22 shares.
	Stock Options
	The rights to purchase shares under employee stock option agreements issued under the Plans typically vest over a three-year period, one-twelfth each quarter. Stock options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options are generally issued such that the exercise price is equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.
	The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plans:
									Weighted

	Exercisable and expected to vest, December 31, 2014		1,558,688		$1.01 - $12.08		$	5.28		5.9	$	11.5
	The weighted average fair value per share of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $6.22 and $3.72, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised under the Stock Option Plans was $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2014.
	The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants of options under the Plans:
		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2014			2013
	Expected dividend yield	—			—
	Expected stock price volatility	73% - 80%			80% - 82%
	Weighted average stock price volatility		79%			82%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.3% - 2.0%			1.0% - 2.1%
	Expected life of options (years)	6			6
	The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based award and stock-price volatility. The assumptions listed above represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the Company’s recorded and pro forma stock-based compensation expense could have been different. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the share-based compensation expense could be materially different. The Company calculates the expected stock price volatility using the Company’s historical stock price during the expected term immediately preceding a stock option grant date. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not anticipate paying dividends in the future. The Company uses the risk-free interest rates of United States Treasury securities for a comparable term as the expected life of a stock option. The expected life of options has been computed using the simplified method, which the Company uses as it does not believe it has established a consistent exercise pattern to accurately estimate the expected term of stock options.
	Performance Shares
	On May 22, 2013, pursuant to the Employee Plan, the Company issued Performance-Based Share Awards (“Performance Shares”, as defined in the Employee Plan) to the Company’s executive officers and certain senior management. Under the terms of such awards, the determination of the number of Performance Shares that each such individual may receive was subject to, and calculated by reference to, the achievement by the Company of a goal measured by a range of targeted financial performance, as defined. Based on the Company’s 2013 results, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 598,000 Performance Shares for 2013. The Performance Shares are subject to four year vesting based upon continued employment and the comparative market performance (on an annual and cumulative basis) of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ compared to the Russell Micro Cap Index.  The actual number of shares issued on each annual vesting date could range from zero to 100%, depending on satisfaction of the vesting conditions.
	In March 2014, the Company issued Performance-Based Share Awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain senior management under which the number of performance shares to be issued was subject to, and calculated by reference to, the achievement by the Company of a performance goal measured by a range of targeted financial performance, as defined, for 2014. Based on the Company’s 2014 financial performance, no performance shares will be issued under the 2014 Performance Based Share Awards.
	The compensation cost for the market condition portion of the Performance Shares was estimated based on a grant date valuation using a Monte-Carlo simulation.  The 2013 Performance Shares resulted in a range of estimated fair values of $5.29 - $9.07 for the annual performance market condition and $7.34 - $9.07 for the cumulative performance market condition. The estimated fair values used for the 2013 Performance Shares were computed assuming a risk-free interest rate of 0.8% and an expected volatility of 52.6%.
	As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of the vested and unvested Performance Shares for 2013 was $1.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
	Stock Units
	Each non-employee Director of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) receives a quarterly retainer (the “Retainer”) of $25,000, payable on or about the first day of each quarter, through the issuance of an equity based award (an “Award”) under the Employee Plan in the form of a Deferred Stock Unit (a “DSU”). The number of DSUs is determined by dividing the Retainer by the immediately preceding closing price of the Common Stock. Each DSU represents the right to receive an equal number of shares of Common Stock upon the retirement, resignation or termination of service from the Board. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has issued approximately 41,000 DSU Awards.

	Management believes that PFSweb has not established a sufficient history of earnings, on a stand-alone basis, to support the more likely than not realization of certain deferred tax assets in excess of existing taxable temporary differences. A valuation allowance has been provided for the majority of these net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The remaining net deferred tax assets at both December 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily relate to the Company’s European operations and certain state tax benefits. At December 31, 2014, net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards relate to taxable losses of PFSweb’s Canadian subsidiary totaling approximately $5.2 million and PFSweb’s U.S. subsidiaries totaling approximately $60.4 million that expire at various dates from 2015 through 2034. The U.S. NOL carryforward includes approximately $5.6 million relating to tax benefits of stock option exercises and, if utilized, will be recorded against additional paid-in capital upon utilization rather than as an adjustment to income tax expense from continuing operations. The U.S. NOL also includes approximately $20.3 million of NOL acquired before February 2006, which is subject to annual limits of $1.2 million, $16.0 million of NOL created before February 2006 subject to annual limits of $1.4 million, and $0.2 million acquired September 2014 subject to annual limits of $0.1 million under IRS Section 382.
	The Company evaluates its tax positions for potential liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, penalties or interest were identified or recorded in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of REV. The Company does not expect to record unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

	Total rental expense under operating leases approximated $7.2 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company received municipal tax abatements in certain locations. In prior years, the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements and that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to the Company’s tax abatement. The Company disputed the adjustment and such dispute has been settled with the municipality. However, the amount of additional property taxes to be assessed against the Company and the timing of the related payments has not been finalized. As of December 31, 2014, the Company believes it has adequately accrued for the expected assessment.
	In April 2010, a sales employee of eCOST.com, Inc. (“eCOST”, the former name of Retail Connect) was charged with violating various federal criminal statutes in connection with the sales of eCOST products to certain customers, and approximately $620,000 held in an eCOST deposit account was seized and turned over to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in connection with such activity. In August 2012, the employee pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Neither the Company nor eCOST have been charged with any criminal activity, and the Company is seeking the recovery of the funds that are currently classified as other receivables on the December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 balance sheets. Based on the information available to date, the Company is unable to determine the amount of the loss, if any, relating to the seizure of such funds. No assurance can be given, however, that the seizure of such funds, or the inability of the Company to recover such funds or any significant portion thereof, or any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this matter, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
	The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. PFS is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims asserted against such clients alleging infringement by PFS of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment in Affiliates	Investment in Affiliates
	Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $5.0 million or decreased to less than $2.5 million without prior approval of certain of the Company’s lenders (see Notes 4 and 5). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Subordinate Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	PFS has also made advances to LAL, which totaled $0.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
	Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Revenue and Cost Recognition	Revenue and Cost Recognition
	The Company derives revenue primarily from services provided under contractual arrangements with its clients or from the sale of products under its distributor agreements. The following revenue recognition policies define the manner in which the Company accounts for sales transactions.
	The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, product shipment or delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
	In instances where revenue is derived from sales of third-party vendor services, the Company records revenue on a gross basis when the Company is a principal to the transaction and net of costs when the Company is acting as an agent between the customer or client and the vendor.  The Company considers several factors to determine whether it is a principal or an agent, most notably whether the Company is the primary obligor to the vendor or customer, has established its own pricing and has inventory and credit risks, if applicable.
	Product Revenue Activity
	Depending on the terms of the customer arrangement, Supplies Distributors recognizes product revenue and product cost either upon the shipment of product to customers or when the customer receives the product. Supplies Distributors permits its customers to return product for credit against other purchases, which include returns for defective products (that Supplies Distributors then returns to the manufacturer) and incorrect shipments. Supplies Distributors provides a reserve for estimated returns and allowances and offers terms to its customers that it believes are standard for its industry.
	Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. Freight costs incurred are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
	Under its distributor agreements (see Note 7), Supplies Distributors bills Ricoh for reimbursements of certain expenses, including: pass-through customer marketing programs, including rebates and coop funds; certain freight costs; direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by Ricoh to Supplies Distributors or its customers to cover price protection and certain special bids; the cost of products provided to replace defective product returned by customers; and certain other expenses as defined. Supplies Distributors records these reimbursable amounts as they are incurred as other receivables in the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding reduction in either inventory or cost of product revenue. Supplies Distributors also records pass-through customer marketing programs as a reduction of both product revenue and cost of product revenue.
	Service Fee Revenue Activity
	The Company’s service fee revenue primarily relates to its distribution services, order management/customer care services, professional digital agency and technology services. The Company typically charges its service fee revenue on either a cost-plus basis, a percent of shipped revenue basis , on a time and materials, project or retainer basis for professional services, or a per transaction basis, such as a per item basis for fulfillment services or a per labor hour basis for web-enabled customer contact center services. Additional fees are billed for other services.
	The Company evaluates its contractual arrangements to determine whether or not they include multiple service elements.  Revenue recognition is determined for the separate service elements of the contract in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there are no return rights or other contingencies present for the delivered elements.  The Company allocates revenue to each element based on estimated selling price.  Each of the Company’s client contracts, and the related services, is unique, with individual needs and criteria customized for each client.  Each client engagement is scoped and priced separately and as such the Company is not able to establish vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for its services, nor is third-party evidence available to establish stand-alone selling prices.  Accordingly the Company uses management’s best estimate of selling price for the deliverables. The Company establishes its estimates considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls as well as market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies.
	Distribution services relate primarily to inventory management, product receiving, warehousing and fulfillment (i.e., picking, packing and shipping) and facilities and operations management. Service fee revenue for these activities is recognized as earned, which is either (i) on a per transaction basis or (ii) at the time of product fulfillment, which occurs at the completion of the distribution services.
	Order management/customer care services relate primarily to taking customer orders for the Company’s clients’ products. These services also entail addressing customer questions related to orders, as well as cross-selling/up-selling activities. Service fee revenue for this activity is recognized as the services are rendered. Fees charged to the client are on a per transaction basis based on either (i) a pre-determined fee per order or fee per telephone minutes incurred, (ii) a per dedicated agent fee, or (iii) are included in the product fulfillment service fees that are recognized on product shipment.
	Professional consulting and technology service revenues primarily relate to design, implementation, service and support of eCommerce platforms, website design and solutions and quality control for the Company’s clients.  Additionally, the Company provides digital agency services that enable client marketing programs to attract new customers, convert buyers and increase website value. These fees are typically charged on either a per labor hour or transaction basis, a dedicated resource model, a fixed price arrangement, or a percent of merchandise shipped basis. Service fee revenue for this activity is generally recognized as the services are rendered.
	The Company performs front-end set-up and integration services to support client eCommerce platforms and websites. When the Company determines these front-end set-up and integration services do not meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, the Company defers the start-up fees received and the related costs, and recognizes them over the contract term which the Company believes approximates the performance period. When the Company determines these front-end set-up and integration services do meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, for time and material arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered and costs as they are incurred. For fixed-price arrangements, the Company uses the completed contract method to recognize revenues and costs if reasonable and reliable cost estimates for a project cannot be made. If reasonable and reliable costs estimates for a project can be made, the Company recognizes revenue over the contract term on a proportional performance basis, as determined by the relationship of actual costs incurred compared to the estimated total contract costs.
	The Company’s billings for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, including travel and certain third-party vendor expenses such as shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges, are included in pass-through revenue. The related reimbursable costs are reflected as cost of pass-through revenue.
	The Company’s cost of service fee revenue, representing the cost to provide the services described above, is recognized as incurred. Cost of service fee revenue also includes certain costs associated with technology collaboration and ongoing technology support that include maintenance, web hosting and other ongoing programming activities. These activities are primarily performed to support the distribution and order management/customer care services and are recognized as incurred.
	Accounts Receivable
	The Company recognizes revenue and records trade accounts receivable, pursuant to the methods described above, when collectability is reasonably assured. Collectability is evaluated in the aggregate and on an individual customer or client basis taking into consideration payment due date, historical payment trends, current financial position, results of independent credit evaluations and payment terms. Related reserves are determined by either using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories based on historical results, reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received, or a specific identification method. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
	Deferred Revenues and Deferred Costs
	The Company primarily performs its services under multiple year contracts, certain of which include early termination provisions, and clients are obligated to pay for services performed. In conjunction with these long-term contracts, the Company sometimes receives start-up fees to cover its implementation costs, including certain technology infrastructure and development costs. When the Company determines that these set-up and integration activities do not meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, the Company defers the start-up fees received, and the related costs, and recognizes them over the contract term, which the Company believes approximates the performance period. The amortization of deferred revenue is included as a component of service fee revenue. The amortization of deferred implementation costs is included as a cost of service fee revenue. To the extent implementation costs for non-technology infrastructure and development exceed the corresponding fees received, the excess costs are expensed as incurred. The following summarizes the deferred implementation revenues and costs, excluding technology and development costs that are included in property and equipment (in thousands):
		December 31,
		2014			2013
	Deferred implementation revenues
	Current	$	9,098		$	8,181
	Non-Current		5,355			7,491
		$	14,453		$	15,672
	Deferred implementation costs
	Current	$	3,309		$	1,977
	Non-Current		1,279			1,780
		$	4,588		$	3,757
	Current and non-current deferred implementation costs, excluding technology and development costs, are a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	No product revenue customer or service fee client relationship represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.  One client exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.
	The Company has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.
	The Company has multiple arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and Ricoh. These arrangements include Supplies Distributors’ distributor agreements and certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements. The majority of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh. Supplies Distributors also relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business. In addition, Supplies Distributors has product sales to IBM and Ricoh business affiliates.
	As a result of certain operational restructuring of its business, Ricoh has implemented, and will continue to implement, certain changes in the sale and distribution of Ricoh products. The changes have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities, when acquired, of three months or less. At times, the Company has cash balances in bank accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses related to these cash concentrations.
Other Receivables	Other Receivables
	Other receivables include $3.6 million and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily for amounts due from Ricoh for costs incurred by the Company under the distributor agreements (see Note 7). In addition, other receivables include $1.3 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, applicable to value added tax receivables.
Inventories	Inventories
	Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost.
	Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under its Ricoh distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined (see Note 7). In the event PFSweb, Supplies Distributors and Ricoh terminate the distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
	Supplies Distributors’ inventories include merchandise in-transit that has not been received by the Company but that has been shipped and invoiced by Supplies Distributors’ vendors. The corresponding payable for inventories in-transit is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
	The Company reviews inventory for impairment on a periodic basis, but at a minimum annually. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the fair value of the inventory. The reserve for slow moving or excess inventory was $0.8 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	The components of property and equipment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
		December, 31						Depreciable
		2014			2013			Life
	Purchased and capitalized software costs	$	44,514		$	39,829		2-7 years
	Furniture and fixtures		23,456			23,158		2-10 years
	Computer equipment		12,184			11,050		3-5 years
	Leasehold improvements		13,825			13,648		3-10 years
	Other		1,144			2,520		3-5 years
			95,123			90,205
	Less-accumulated depreciation and amortization		(68,519	)		(63,015	)
	Property and equipment, net	$	26,604		$	27,190
	The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. Additionally, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company records impairment losses, if any, in the period in which the Company determines the carrying amount is not recoverable. Recoverability of any assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. This may require the Company to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. During 2014 and 2013, no impairment of property and equipment was identified or recorded.
	Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Capitalized implementation costs are depreciated over the respective client contract term, which the Company believes approximates the performance period.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment, excluding capital leases, during 2014 and 2013 was $9.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
	The Company’s property held under capital leases amount to approximately $4.8 million and $4.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $4.0 million and $4.4 million, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during 2014 and 2013 was $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews long-lived assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company reviews goodwill for an impairment at least annually.  Long-lived assets include property, intangible assets, goodwill and certain other assets. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined using appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis or similar valuation techniques. We make judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. We record impairment losses in the period in which we determine that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This may require us to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center, sales, professional services and corporate offices, as well as certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2024. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases. The Company recognizes escalating lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease, and classifies the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
	For the Company’s Canadian, European and Indian operations, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates on a monthly basis.
	The Company includes currency gains and losses on short-term intercompany advances in the determination of net income and loss. The Company reports gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company uses stock-based compensation, including stock options, deferred stock units and other stock-based awards to provide long-term performance incentives for its executives, key employees and non-employee directors. From the service inception date to the grant date, the Company recognizes compensation cost for all share-based payments based on the reporting date fair value of the award. After the grant date, compensation cost is measured based on the grant date fair value.  Depending on the conditions associated with the vesting of the award, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award.  The Company records compensation cost as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company estimates the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and estimates the compensation cost for certain of the awards that have a performance condition using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The estimated fair value for awards involves assumptions for expected dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates and the expected life of the award.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	For federal income tax purposes, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2011 through 2014. However, the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that arose prior to 2011 remains subject to examination through the years such carryforwards are utilized. For Europe, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2012 to 2014. However, the utilization of NOL carryforwards that arose prior to 2012 remain subject to examination through the years such carryforwards are utilized. For Canada, tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2006 to 2014, depending on the subsidiary. For state income tax purposes, the tax years that remain subject to examination include years 2010 to 2014, depending upon the jurisdiction in which the Company files tax returns. The Company and its subsidiaries have various income tax returns in the process of examination. The Company does not expect these examinations will result in unrecognized tax benefits.
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
	The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to certain tax positions in income tax expense.
Self Insurance	Self Insurance
	The Company is self-insured in the U.S. for medical insurance benefits up to certain stop-loss limits. Such costs are accrued based on known claims and an estimate of incurred, but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical lag information and other data provided by claims administrators.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and capital lease obligations, approximate their fair values based on short terms to maturity or current market prices and interest rates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Net Loss Per Common Share	Net Loss Per Common Share
	Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. The following equity awards (see Note 6) have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:  1.6 million and 1.8 million stock options for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; 0.6 million and 0.5 million performance shares for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and 41,000 deferred stock units for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes During Year	Cash Paid For Interest and Taxes During Year
	The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.7 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (see Notes 4 and 5). Income tax payments of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million were made during each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 9).
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein, and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Deferred Implementation Revenues and Costs	The Company primarily performs its services under multiple year contracts, certain of which include early termination provisions, and clients are obligated to pay for services performed. In conjunction with these long-term contracts, the Company sometimes receives start-up fees to cover its implementation costs, including certain technology infrastructure and development costs. When the Company determines that these set-up and integration activities do not meet the criteria for recognition as a separate unit of accounting, the Company defers the start-up fees received, and the related costs, and recognizes them over the contract term, which the Company believes approximates the performance period. The amortization of deferred revenue is included as a component of service fee revenue. The amortization of deferred implementation costs is included as a cost of service fee revenue. To the extent implementation costs for non-technology infrastructure and development exceed the corresponding fees received, the excess costs are expensed as incurred. The following summarizes the deferred implementation revenues and costs, excluding technology and development costs that are included in property and equipment (in thousands):
