Sell everything. Track every supplier.

Promotional products distributors sell thousands of products and produce only a fraction in-house. Every outsourced line is a purchase order to send, a status to chase and a delivery to reconcile.

Production floor

Three things the research says.

01

Outsourcing is the model

78% of distributors that decorate in-house also use contract decorators for apparel, 84% for hard goods.

Standards cover one link

PromoStandards lets distributors query suppliers, but no standard carries an order end to end.

Four handoffs, every order.

Each one is a person bridging two systems. Each one is a place where orders wait, errors creep in and margin leaks out.

The expensive part isn't the software. It's the people bridging the gaps between the software.
