We help create and guide tech standards that
businesses and nonprofits worldwide
can count on.

Think of these standards as a roadmap for developers, giving them a shared set of guidelines for writing code. With these in place, suppliers, distributors, and decorators can send and receive info in real-time, making business transactions easier and more efficient.

Simply put, at PromoStandards, we streamline how the supply chain communicates for business transactions—but we’re not writing or selling software. Instead, we provide the insights you need to make your current systems run smoothly in the marketplace.

We’re in the age of digital transformation, and we see a real need to bring digital tech into business processes. With the rise of consumer-focused online ordering and the push for better supply-chain efficiency, integration is more essential than ever for the promotional products industry and beyond.

Our Missions

Keeping communication smooth along the supply chain means happier customers for everyone.

Making It Easier for

Buyers

With our integration, distributors get up-to-date pricing and availability straight from suppliers. It also simplifies product configuration, letting buyers choose imprint locations and customize products based on supplier guidelines.

Reduce Time and​

Labor

By cutting down or even eliminating calls and emails about inventory, order status, product details, and more, we help save time and labor. These savings mean more energy for activities that benefit distributors, suppliers, and the industry as a whole.

Make Customers

Happy

By streamlining processes and reducing time and labor, we make it easier for buyers to get what they need quickly and accurately. That seamless experience translates to happier customers who enjoy faster service and reliable results.
