Chicago-based custom apparel company connects appointments, pickup and shipping, quotes, RFQs, RFPs, company stores, proofs and approvals through a custom-built digital workflow
Chicago-based Inkdnylon Custom Apparel has expanded its internal customer, procurement and production infrastructure, connecting key stages of the custom apparel and branded product process through a custom-built digital workflow.
According to Inkdnylon, the system now supports customer appointments, pickup and shipping workflows, quote requests, Requests for Quote (RFQs), Requests for Proposal (RFPs), private company stores, artwork and production proofs, revision handling and final production approval.
“The infrastructure was developed specifically around how Inkdnylon operates. Available off-the-shelf systems and disconnected tools did not work for Inkdnylon’s specific operating requirements or provide the continuity and control needed across its customer, procurement and production processes,” the company says.
Online platform facilitates artwork submissions, standard quote requests, larger RFQ opportunities,
According to Inkdnylon, among other capabilities customers and organizations can now enter the system through various different pathways depending on project scope, including appointments, artwork submissions, standard quote requests, larger RFQ opportunities, formal RFP programs and private company store programs.
In addition, the company says, Inkdnylon’s private company stores provide businesses and organizations with a repeatable way to manage approved uniforms, employee apparel and branded merchandise. Along these same lines, the company’s custom-built production proof system adds an additional layer to the infrastructure whereby customers receive secure links tied to specific production proofs and can submit revision instructions and supporting files directly through the workflow.
Together, the company says, these and the other systems it has now put in place create clearer transitions between customer requests, procurement, artwork review, approval and production while giving Inkdnylon direct control over the infrastructure supporting those processes.
Based in Chicago, Inkdnylon provides embroidery, screen printing, DTF, DTG, vinyl, sublimation, patches, promotional products and branded apparel for businesses, organizations, universities, municipalities, nonprofits and procurement teams. For more information, click here.
