SmartStore Benefits

1. Lower Costs

Decentralization is expensive. When you consolidate your procurement, you utilize the collective purchasing power of your branches and users to earn better prices and services.

2. Share Brand

Your brand is a valuable asset. To build equity, your brand must be consistent and recognizable. Companies with many branch offices or outside sales people are tasked with making the brand accessible to the remote users while also protecting the brand. SmartStore ensures that all sales and marketing collateral used in the field by branch managers, resellers, partners, and franchisees is consistent with your corporate identity.

3. Produce On-Demand

One of the best ways to manage budgets is to eliminate inventory and waste. SmartStore enables you to order what you need when you need it. Our integrated production workflow enables us to fulfill orders on-demand. This means you pay only for what you use when you use it.

4. Control Content

Balancing the needs of the corporate marketer to protect the brand and local representatives to make content specific for their market can be difficult without the right tools. SmartStore enables you to manage critical assets like brand and terms, while allowing remote users to localize certain content.

5. Increases Efficiencies

SmartStore enables online collaboration between you and the remote user to ensure that the document creation, proofing, and fulfillment processes are efficient. Furthermore, by eliminating traditional proofing and set-up charges, we make the ordering process easy.

6. Manage Privileges

Control is afforded by an intuitive hierarchy that reflects the structure of most organizations. There are three levels for both users and products. A user at a certain level in a specific group can only customize products assigned to that level of the group. For example, a group administrator can only manage users in her group and can only manage products assigned to her group. User privileges are assigned by the corporate administrator and managed by corporate and regional administrators. See diagram.

7. Control Budgets

Instead of ordering large quantities to get lower prices per piece and writing large checks, SmartStore enables you to spread the budget out over a longer period and pay only for what is consumed.

8. Ensure Compliance

SmartStore features several compliance management capabilities. You can limit an individual user's ability to edit content, impose a pre-approval requirement to ensure that content provided by a remote user complies with corporate and federal guidelines, and even audit a user's order activity.
