One source. Infinite resources.
That is Proforma's line, and it is literally what sits behind PHCS: one of the largest distributor networks in the industry, its supplier agreements, its ProStores technology and two support centers. You get all of it through two owners who know your account.
Figures are Proforma's, as published by ASI and Proforma; PHCS is one of its member companies. "One source. Infinite resources." is Proforma's line, and it is what we draw on for you.

What that means for you
- Buying power. Pricing and availability negotiated at a national scale, applied to a single order or an ongoing program.
- Supplier network. Thousands of products from preferred suppliers, with decoration, imprint areas and production confirmed item by item.
- Technology. The ProStores platform for company stores, catalogs and lookbooks, and the systems behind quoting, ordering and tracking.
- Support behind the owners. More than 200 Proforma Support Center experts in Cleveland, Ohio, and Tampa, Florida handle vendor relations, billing and operations, so Jason and Shannon can spend their time on your work.
- Reach. A remote-first network serving clients across the country, with shipping wherever your people are.
What stays personal
The resources are national. The relationship is not. Jason Hess and Shannon Crisci take the first call, build the first presentation and stay on the account.
Proforma was founded in 1978, the same year PHCS began as Quickprint. Two separate stories, one standard of service.
