Who benefits from an online company store?
Company stores are ideal for manufacturers, healthcare organizations, colleges and universities, financial institutions, contractors, franchises, nonprofits, municipalities, and any organization with multiple departments or locations that order branded materials regularly.
What products can be offered in a company store?
Your store can include business cards, brochures, forms, stationery, signage, apparel, promotional products, recruiting materials, trade show items, sales kits, branded merchandise, and other approved products.
Can employees order branded apparel online?
Yes. Employees can order approved apparel in available sizes and colors through a simple online interface. This is a popular solution for uniforms, company clothing programs, and employee recognition.
Promotional Products
Can different users see different products?
Yes. Stores can be configured with user permissions so departments, locations, or franchises only see the products, pricing, and inventory that apply to them.
Can approval workflows be built into the ordering process?
Absolutely. Approval workflows can route orders to managers or purchasing departments before production, helping organizations maintain spending controls and brand standards.
Can inventory be managed through the store?
Yes. Inventory levels can be tracked so users only order available products. The store can support stocked items, print-on-demand products, or a combination of both.

Can multiple locations have different catalogs?
Yes. Product availability, pricing, budgets, and permissions can all be customized by location, department, or user role.
Can online stores reduce administrative work?
Yes. Company stores automate ordering, reduce emails and paper forms, improve order accuracy, and provide employees with a single place to find approved materials.
Can online stores support recruiting and onboarding?
Absolutely. New-hire welcome kits, onboarding materials, branded apparel, and orientation documents can all be ordered through a company store and fulfilled automatically.
How secure are online company stores?
Access can be restricted to authorized users, and stores can be configured with role-based permissions, approval workflows, and secure ordering processes appropriate for your organization.
