Join the conversation as our Supply Chain Officer, Andy Nied and Director of Logistics, Andrew Brueckner share insights into how Gooten is managing supply chain risks to improve issue visibility ahead of time in order to build greater resilience and support our partners during the holiday rush.

Over the past year and a half we’ve commonly heard the term “New Norm” used across the board within the industry. As we have learned to recognize what this actually means, it’s more frequent supply chain disruptions for all businesses. Along with the typical supply chain hurdles and labour shortages, there comes a whole new set of threats that continue to surface and will be even more prominent throughout the holiday season.

During our webinar last week, Maddy Alcala, VP of Business Development, discusses with Mark Kapczynski, CMO, the benefits of migrating your growing business to Gooten. She explains how outgrowing your existing single-source print on demand provider could mean trouble for your business if you don’t take action!

Want to learn how to secure your business with a multi-source PoD model? Check out the full video below!

Key Takeaways

1. When to consider switching or adding providers

  • Capacity & Scale: You started small, but your orders have exploded and your local provider or basic PoD application partner can’t keep up.
  • Economics: The provider you’re working with doesn’t offer volume-based pricing plans or isn’t willing to invest in your business as your grow.
  • Risk Mitigation: You’re working with a single production facility or manufacturer and face capacity and lack of redundancy.
  • Service & Partnership: You’re bigger and have more sophisticated support & account management needs that a chat bot or low-level account representative can’t adequately service.
  • New Capabilities & Markets: You’re in search of new products or capabilities to support your business that your current provider doesn’t offer.

2. What to consider when switching or adding providers

  • Find a company that values and treats your business like your own
  • Ensure the economics of the partnerships represent the value gained
  • Receive quick and effective responses to resolve issues
  • Has the ability to efficiently operate and scale order processing 
  • Has the product catalog breadth & depth and geographic reach

3. So you've decided to switch, now what?

  1. Order samples to confirm product selection
  2. Confirm and test store integration
  3. Create a production listing mapper and migration sequence plan
  4. Hire and allocate resources from designers, product data entry, to developers
  5. Migrate 2-3 listings and roundtrip test
  6. Migrate entire store & QA

During our webinar this week, Gooten’s Chief Supply Chain Officer, Andy Nied, shared how we have established a system that ensures high quality and consistency across our global, distributed supply chain so that your customers receive the products they love and rely on.  

Want to learn why our partners rave about our high-quality products? Watch the full video below!

Key Takeaways

1. Mass personalization will outpace eCommerce by 2x.

Our goal is to provide a best-in-class experience for our partners and their customers by:

  • Selecting and partnering with the best mills and manufacturers to ensure the materials going into our products are of the highest quality and will produce the best output.
  • Constantly meeting with and working with equipment manufacturers to understand the latest capabilities and trends.
  • Being highly selective and flexible, and choosing to work with only the top print-on-demand manufacturers in the US and overseas.
  • Using our own POD manufacturing experts who work hand in hand with our vendor network to ensure their processes and workflow are up to our standards.

2. Proactively managing quality

In an industry where products are made on-demand, issues are inevitable. However, at Gooten, we do our best to minimize issues proactively, especially when it comes to print and product quality. We do this by doing the following:

  • All urgent issues require a stop-gap fix or workaround.
  • Root cause analysis performed on critical errors.
  • Gooten works with manufacturing partners to create process improvement projects to continuously drive high-quality results
  • Based on performance trends and feedback, work can be routed away from specific vendors as they work through issues

3. Delivering Quality: Made for Peace of Mind

Quality doesn’t end with the production of a product. We track quality all the way through to the actual delivery of the product to your end customer. A few of the ways we ensure quality delivery is by:

  • Localized Production: Strive to route work to be produced as close to end recipient as possible to reduce handling – speed and quality
  • Hand Selected: For products that are fragile – mugs, framed artwork, porcelain ornaments, etc – we work with manufacturers to develop better packaging solutions. 
  • Customized Packing: We will engage packaging engineering consultants to help design packaging as needed.

4. Tips to Ensure the Best Quality

While we do everything in our power to ensure high-quality products and printing, there are a few things our partners can do to also help establish a quality product—that’s by designing for the outcome!

Tip 1: Certain designs will not always translate well to every product

  • Fluorescents/neons in POD typically do not print well
  • Ensure proper image resolution
  • Large straight lines/frames on apparel can show the slightest skew
  • Big patches of solid black on apparel can contrast with a black garment


Tip 2: Be mindful of image orientation

Tip 3: Use high-resolution images

Tip 4: Send our Partner Support team feedback with images!

Watch “Your Leading Print on Demand Partner” Webinar on our YouTube page for more design tips from Gooten’s Chief Experience Officer, Krista McDonald!

During our webinar this week, Gooten’s CMO Mark Kapczynski and Chief Experience Officer Krista McDonald cover the benefits of having Gooten, as print on demand supplier,  by your side as you scale your eCommerce business through 2021

Want to learn how to implement personalized products in your store? Check out the full video below!

Key Takeaways

1. Streamline your logistics with Gooten's Order Management System

Eliminate manual processes such as packing, shipping, communication between manufacturers and warehouses and plug into one easy-to-use solution that does everything for you. 

2. Learn whether your business needs an API or Direct Store Integration

Go with an API integration if:

  • Your store isn’t hosted on a platform Gooten has a direct integration with (i.e. Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce).
  • Your business offers merchandise through an application such as a video game or in partnership with another product.
  • Your want to build custom order ingestion flow for personalization.
  • You want to be nimble with creating new products.

3. Our mission is to increase your reputation with your customers with every order

  • Connect your store. Gooten’s APIs connect your store to accept orders for automated fulfillment so that you can focus on what you do best. 
  • Add new products. When you add a new product, our system automatically conducts a quality check on images to ensure proper printing and placement. 
  • Produce orders closest to end customer. When one of your customers makes a purchase, our systematic decision engine routes their order to one of our 70+ global locations. 
  • Consistent and transparent order information. You can track every step of your customer’s order in your order management page. From automated tracking links, branded tracking page, and 95% on-time production and shipping rate, Gooten has your order information covered. 
  • Quality you can rely on. Our 98%+ error-free rate hasn’t come to us by chance. We have achieved this by proactively maintaining
    our quality control process—from hand-selecting
    our manufacturers, sourcing and inspecting every
    product in our catalog, to staying on the cutting
    edge of printing and on-demand manufacturing
    techniques and technologies.
