Without a streamlined system in place, procurement costs for branded merchandise can be as high as 20% or more. Ordering branded materials can be complicated. The details related to artwork, item approvals and samples can greatly add to the time your employees are spending ordering branded materials.
Having an online company store allows you to quickly offer corporate approved items. Ordering time is reduced from several hours or more to just a few minutes. Multiply this time savings across your organization and the labor costs related to procurement can be quite significant. It is important to understand that the savings provided by a well built online company store go well beyond the actual price you pay for the goods and services.
In addition to the time savings, your employees will be greatly satisfied by the ease of ordering as they can quickly return to working on the other tasks.
