For Promo & Print ShopsCustom software that runs your promo shop.
Custom software that runs your promo shop.
And it's yours to own.
Quote, proof, order, produce, ship — one platform built around how your shop actually works. Not another per-seat subscription you rent forever from commonsku.
You're renting commonsku. You'll never own it.
commonsku · $199–500+/user/mo
- $199–500+ per user, every month, forever — the bill only grows as you add reps
- Built for every distributor, so it fits none of them — you bend your workflow around it
- Your customers, quotes, and order history live in their platform, not yours
- Annual price increases on software you can't change and don't control
- Their branding and their rules on the portal your clients actually see
Built by an operator who's run this exact workflow
iOLab's founder didn't read about wholesale operations — he ran them. As the operator on the inside, he architected Wrapt, a 9-module platform spanning quoting, proofs, supplier POs, production, and fulfillment, because no off-the-shelf tool could handle the real process. You're not hiring a dev shop to guess at how a promo shop works. You're hiring the peer who already built the system.

These are the modules behind Wrapt, reframed for promotional products. Yours would be built to your exact process, your branding, your suppliers.
Proof Approvals
Digital proofs with time-stamped client sign-off, so production never starts on an unapproved design.
Supplier POs
Purchase orders generated straight from the order and routed to your suppliers — SAGE, SanMar, S&S and the rest.
Production Tracking
Every job moves through a visual pipeline — decoration, QC, packing — so nothing slips between stations.
Order & Fulfillment
One source of truth from quote to doorstep: order status, shipping, and delivery, connected end to end.
Client Portal
Your customers approve proofs, track orders, and reorder from a portal branded to your shop — not commonsku's.
Stop renting. Do the math.
A small team on commonsku can spend $24,000–$90,000+ over five years and own nothing at the end of it. A custom platform is a one-time build you own outright — flat hosting, unlimited users, no per-seat tax. See the side-by-side and run your own numbers.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can custom software really replace commonsku?
For most promo shops, yes. commonsku is built to serve every distributor the same way, so you pay for breadth you don't use and conform to a workflow that isn't yours. A custom platform gives you the exact quote-to-fulfillment process your shop runs on — your suppliers, your branding, your rules — and you own it instead of renting it.
What about supplier integrations like SAGE, SanMar, and S&S?
We build the supplier connections your shop actually uses, straight into your ordering and PO workflow — no marketplace fees, no waiting on a vendor's roadmap. You get exactly the integrations you need, built to spec.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
Custom operations platforms typically land in the $25,000–$45,000 range as a one-time build, delivered in months with weekly demos so you see progress the whole way. After that you own the code — flat hosting, no per-seat fees. We scope and fix-price it after a free consultation.
Do I have to switch everything at once?
No. We can start with the module that hurts most — quoting, production tracking, the client portal — prove it, then connect the rest. Your shop keeps running while we build and switch over.
