The real problem is spread
Branded spend rarely lives in one place. Marketing buys merchandise from one vendor, HR buys apparel from another, a regional manager orders signs from a third, and operations coordinates shipping to every location by hand. Nobody sees the whole number, and nobody owns the standard.
Procurement cannot fix that with a policy memo. It needs a single program with a single process, and a partner who runs it.
What a consolidated program looks like
- One approved selection of merchandise, apparel, print and packaging.
- A company store where employees and locations order within budgets and approval rules.
- Kitting, warehousing and distribution to every ship-to location.
- Reporting on what was ordered, by whom, for which cost center.
- One accountable team, with the owners reachable by phone.
Control without a spreadsheet
Stores run on Proforma's ProStores platform, and we manage them for you. User groups and permissions, approval workflows, budgets and cost centers, and reporting are available for programs that need them. We configure what fits your policies and tell you plainly what the platform does and does not do for your situation.
Where there is an existing vendor relationship, we start with a program review: what you buy now, from whom, at what volume, and where the friction is. Then we recommend what to consolidate first.
Vendor diligence
You will want documentation. We are backed by Proforma, a top-five distributor on both 2026 industry rankings, with 550+ preferred supplier partners. Hessprint Union Solutions, CWA #5, covers union-printed materials when a project requires them. Ask for what your review process needs and we will provide it.
Tell us what your vendor review requires. We will identify the applicable business, supplier and product documentation for your program before you commit.
How to start
A program review is a conversation, not a pitch. Bring a list of what you buy and where it ships, even a rough one, and we will tell you what we see. From there, a presentation, a demo store and a plan you can take to your team. You work with Jason Hess and Shannon Crisci, owners of a business trusted with brands since 1978.

From a single project to an ongoing program, we start with a 20-minute conversation and come back with a plan.
