Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	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 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.
	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 was $3.2 million in cash payments.  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 aggregate minimum 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 $0.3 million and $0.2 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has recognized a total current liability of $3.0 million applicable to the REV Earn-out Payments, $1.4 million of which was paid in April and May of 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 unaudited 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
	Goodwill		2,756
	Total purchase price	$	5,943
	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):

	Customer relationships			880		(141	)		739	6 years
	Total definite lived intangible assets		$	1,019	$	(177	)	$	842
	Acquisition of LAL
	On 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has recognized a total current liability of $2.6 million applicable to the projected LAL earn-out payments, $1.0 million of which was paid in April 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 following table summarizes the unaudited, estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
	Cash	$	30
	Accounts receivable, net		1,299

	Multiplied by PFSweb Inc.'s stock price	$	9.96
	Share consideration	$	544
	Aggregate cash payments		4,000
	Performance-based contingent payments		2,349
	Total purchase price	$	6,893
	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. There are no residual values for any of the intangible assets subject to amortization acquired during the LAL acquisition.
	Definite lived intangible assets acquired in the LAL acquisition consist of (in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. 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 on 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. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” 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 U.S. 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 are 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, Supplies Distributors bills Ricoh for reimbursements of certain expenses, including: pass-through customer marketing programs, including rebates and co-op 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 include 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 basis, 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 plaftorms 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 start-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.
	Investment in Subsidiaries
	PFS 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. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $2.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	One service fee client relationship represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues and consolidated accounts receivable during and as of the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations as a percentage of product revenue and service fee revenue, respectively, is as follows:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015			2014
	Product Revenue (as a percentage of total Product Revenue):
	Customer 1		14	%		12	%
	Customer 2		13	%		12	%
	Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of total Service Fee Revenue):
	Client 1		15	%		—
	Accounts Receivable (as a percentage of consolidated Accounts Receivable):
	Client 1		13	%		—
	The Company currently anticipates that its product revenue from the customers identified above will decline during the next twelve months.
	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.
	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. In the event PFS, 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.
	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center 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 with the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized being recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Property and Equipment
	The Company’s property held under capital leases totaled approximately $4.6 million and $4.8 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $3.2 million and $4.0 million, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision primarily associated with state income taxes and its foreign operations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its domestic net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards and for certain foreign deferred tax assets.
	Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
	The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.2 million in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Income taxes of approximately $0.3 million and $19,000 were paid by the Company during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	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 proposed guidance (ASU 2014-09), if approved, would allow a one-year deferral of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”) which will require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company currently intends to adopt ASU 2014-15 as of and for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	On March 23, 2015, pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“the Plan”), the Company issued approximately 12,000 Other Stock-Based Awards and approximately 38,000 Restricted Stock Unit Awards (as such terms are defined in the Plan) to certain of the Company’s executive officers and senior management. The Restricted Stock Unit Awards are subject to three year vesting based on continued employment.
	In March 2015, the Company issued Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Share Awards (as such terms are defined in the Plan) to the Company’s executives and senior management.  Under the terms of the 2015 awards, the number of restricted stock units and performance shares that each such individual may receive is 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 2015, as well as, for certain of the restricted stock units, individual performance goals, as defined.  Assuming achievement of the highest financial and individual performance goal, the aggregate maximum number of restricted stock units is 86,500 and the aggregate maximum number of performance shares is approximately 280,000, which performance shares are subject to annual vesting based upon continued employment, and for certain of the performance shares, the comparative performance (on an annual and cumulative basis) of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ compared to the Russell Micro Cap Index.
	Total stock-based compensation expense was $0.8 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and was included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

	To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with its covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the monthly financial covenant requirements, such as profitability and cash flow, and required level of shareholders’ equity or net worth (as defined), the Company would be required to obtain a waiver from the lender or the lender would be entitled to accelerate the repayment of any outstanding credit facility obligations, and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and enforcement of payment under the Company parent guarantee. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations.

Commitments and Contingencies	8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	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 March 31, 2015, the Company believes it has adequately accrued for the expected assessment.
	In April 2010, a sales employee of 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. 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 on 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. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” 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 U.S. 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 are 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, Supplies Distributors bills Ricoh for reimbursements of certain expenses, including: pass-through customer marketing programs, including rebates and co-op 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 include 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 basis, 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 plaftorms 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 start-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.
Investment in Subsidiaries	Investment in Subsidiaries
	PFS 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. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $2.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	One service fee client relationship represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues and consolidated accounts receivable during and as of the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations as a percentage of product revenue and service fee revenue, respectively, is as follows:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2015			2014
	Product Revenue (as a percentage of total Product Revenue):
	Customer 1		14	%		12	%

	Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of total Service Fee Revenue):
	Client 1		15	%		—
	Accounts Receivable (as a percentage of consolidated Accounts Receivable):
	Client 1		13	%		—
	The Company currently anticipates that its product revenue from the customers identified above will decline during the next twelve months.
	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.
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. In the event PFS, 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.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center 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 with the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized being recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	The Company’s property held under capital leases totaled approximately $4.6 million and $4.8 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $3.2 million and $4.0 million, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision primarily associated with state income taxes and its foreign operations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its domestic net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards and for certain foreign deferred tax assets.
Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes	Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
	The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.2 million in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Income taxes of approximately $0.3 million and $19,000 were paid by the Company during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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 proposed guidance (ASU 2014-09), if approved, would allow a one-year deferral of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”) which will require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company currently intends to adopt ASU 2014-15 as of and for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
