Promo quoting with real supplier costs

Distributors need fast quotes from connected PromoStandards catalogs, decoration pricing that holds, and reorders that do not start from scratch. OBPrint puts blanks and embellishment on one quote line with margin visible before you send upstream.

Workflow

How a job moves in this shop type

  1. Connect PromoStandards suppliers

    Search connected catalogs from the quote builder. Less manual SKU hunting across supplier sites. Catalog adds count toward Short Run limits; high-volume distributors usually move to Full Run for unlimited adds and live merch.

  2. Add decoration and see margin

    Apply decoration matrices and program fees. Know margin before the distributor sends the quote upstream or the end buyer sees a number. Setup, run charges, and freight can sit on the quote.

  3. Customer approval and PO

    Approval links for end buyers when you need them. Sales order anchors production and billing. PO and invoice flow from the same record whether you decorate in-house or broker part of the job.

  4. Run production and fulfillment

    Board and work orders for in-house decoration. Track what shipped and what is still on the floor. Labels and tracking attach when you fulfill from your warehouse.

  5. Merch store reorder

    Publish customer storefronts on The Full Run. Company stores, team shops, and program reorders checkout into sales orders on your board. Decoration rules from your shop settings apply automatically.

Why shops pick OBPrint

Built around this work

PromoStandards in the quote flow

Connected suppliers feed the quote builder. Built for distributors who live in supplier catalogs daily. Garment cost and inventory signals without retyping SKU data.

Merch stores for programs

Customer storefronts with controlled products and decoration. Live publish on The Full Run. Guest checkout becomes production work, not a spreadsheet handoff.

Decoration plus blanks in one quote

Garment cost and embellishment on the same line. Fewer handoffs between spreadsheet, CRM, and production. Margin on the full program before you commit.

Fulfillment tracking

Ship dates and tracking on the sales order. Office sees what left the building and what is still on the decoration floor.

OB-5 for high quote volume

After Brain setup, OB-5 can draft quotes from catalog data using your matrices. Pricing still comes from your settings, not invented amounts.
