INDUSTRIES / PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS
For promotional products distributors.
From approved proof to shipped order.
In promotional products, orders usually stall at the handoffs: between the customer’s approval and the purchase order, and between the decorator and the customer update. The approval often lives in an email thread while the order lives in your order system, so someone has to carry the right proof, quantities and dates to purchasing and production by hand. KCO connects the systems you already use so an approval is recorded once and reaches the people doing the work.
Your order management system may already handle much of this. The gaps tend to sit where it meets email, suppliers, decorators and accounting.
Where the work
usually stalls.
- Approval to purchase order
- A customer approves by email, and someone retypes quantities, sizes and dates into a purchase order.
- Proof version to decorator
- The file the decorator receives has to match the version the customer approved.
- Supplier status to customer
- Ship dates and delays arrive by email or supplier portal and have to be passed on to the customer.
- Shipped to invoiced
- Final quantities, overruns and freight have to reach the invoice.
Keep the tools
that work.
For example: your order management system, supplier websites and portals, your accounting system, the email inbox where proofs get approved, and the shipping and carrier sites, with spreadsheets in between.
These are examples, not a list of supported integrations. We check access, limits and fit for your specific tools before proposing connections.
Where to start.
Start with the free written plan. We look at your public site and send one page: where work likely gets retyped, what it’s costing you, what we’d build first and the one number that shows it’s working.
