Pairing DECADE.promo with your decoration vendors

A promo distributor with reliable decoration vendors has a competitive advantage that no software replicates. The job of the operations layer is to make those relationships fast and predictable: route the right job to the right vendor, hand off the art file cleanly, and reconcile the invoice without a spreadsheet.

Your file never hits disk
Anonymous uploads are parsed in RAM and dropped on the floor when the response sends.
No login. No watermark.
Use it once. Use it every day. Same output either way.
Built on a real shop floor
I run a promo shop. Every tool here exists because I needed it on a Tuesday.
Free, no asterisk
Sign up and the rate limit goes away. That’s the whole pitch.

Treat decoration vendors as suppliers

In DECADE.promo, your screen-print vendor and your embroidery vendor are supplier records. Each has a profile (rep contact, rates, on-time delivery score from your survey data, specialty notes). When you build a quote that includes decoration, the supplier PO routes to the right decorator automatically based on the decoration method.

Art handoff: the cleanest possible version

Decorator gets a single email with the supplier PO, the customer's art file (the one that passed the art-file checker), the imprint specs, the imprint location, the color count, and the in-hands date. No back-and-forth on "which file is current"; we send the latest approved file every time.

Reconciliation without a spreadsheet

Decorator sends an invoice. Match it against the PO in one click. The decorator's line items become accounts payable in QuickBooks via the same flow as supplier invoices. Average reconciliation time per decorator invoice: about 30 seconds.

Your decoration vendors are part of your operations team, not a parallel system. Wire them in as suppliers and the handoff disappears.

What we built differently in DECADE.promo
