What a company store is

A company store is a private online shop for one business, where its staff order uniforms and branded corporate apparel. Instead of a manager emailing a spreadsheet of sizes, each employee orders what they need from an approved range, with the company logo already on it. For a decorator, company stores turn a one-off uniform job into steady repeat orders. Dyenzo runs them from the same system as the rest of your shop.

Step 1: set up the client

Add the business as a company in your CRM with its contacts, approvers and finance contacts. Set its price level, payment terms and credit limit. Choose the company logo once, and Dyenzo draws it on the products on your website, so the client's staff see their own logo on every item when they sign in. A store can carry its own logo on its products too.

Step 2: build the store

Create a company store from a template and choose who can get in: signed-in members of the company, any signed-in customer, or anyone with the password. Pick the range and the colours on offer. A company store can stay open all year, sending each order to production as it is paid, or open in rounds with a close date, like a new starter kit drop.

Step 3: control spending

Step 4: staff order

Employees sign in, choose their sizes and check out. The order lands in Dyenzo priced at the company's level, with the logo artwork attached, ready for proofs, purchasing and production like any other order.

Step 5: make and ship

Raise purchase orders for the blanks, decorate, and ship to each employee or to the office. For clients who resell or hand out kit under their own name, blind shipping sends the parcel under the client's brand, and the paperwork never names your shop.

Step 6: one bill for the company

Finance teams do not want fifty card receipts. Issue a final invoice for every open order in the store to the company in one step, with one total. Reminders, monthly statements and the statement pay link go to the company's finance contacts, and invoices sync to QuickBooks Online or Xero.

A lookbook with their logo

Winning a uniform contract often starts with a catalogue. Dyenzo makes a PDF lookbook of your products with the client's logo drawn on each one, so they see their range before a single garment is made.

Why decorators add company stores

Uniform work is some of the steadiest business a decorator can win. Staff join, leave and wear out their kit all year, so the orders keep coming. Without a store, each of those orders is an email, a size chart and a phone call. With a company store, the employee does the ordering, the client controls the spend, and you get clean orders that are already priced and approved. The same store can hold workwear, hi-vis, polos, fleeces and caps, each with the right logo in the right place.
