The ultimate guide to streamlining your marketing supply chain

dokshop uses technology to power your brand’s print, collateral, signage, branded apparel and more 

Dokshop Overview 

The key to excelling in your markets is understanding how to make your brand work for you. In the last decade, how we market to consumers and the tools we use to market to them have shifted. We live in a technology-driven world, which means businesses must adapt and invest in technology to remain successful. Dokshop makes it easy to access and personalize your marketing collateral in one place. 

  • Enables brands to focus on their growth, not the pain of brand management.  
  • Allows your organization to unify branded items, streamline operations, and increase efficiency.  
  • Consolidates vendors which saves both time and money.  
  • Customizable data analytic and reporting capabilities to track spending. 
  • Adaptable technology solution that supports your company’s growth.  

 

Brand Management at Scale  

Managing multiple vendors at one time can be time-consuming. By utilizing dokshop and Prisma’s robust production platforms, you can consolidate your print, large format, promo, and apparel vendors into a single online platform. Many companies have separate vendors for HR materials, marketing materials, apparel, events, and employee swag. This process makes ordering items a longer and more complicated process.  

Common issue: One marketing executive is responsible for creating content, ordering materials, and dispersing the materials. Each of these tasks often takes a significant amount of time which slows down your go-to-market strategy. 

Solution: With all branded items in one place on dokshop, employees can access their own items as they need them. With employees being able to manage their own materials, it increases the speed of delivery. It also allows marketing leaders to focus on more important tasks. 

Advantage: With Prisma’s bi-coastal footprint and four facilities across the country, you have access to 2-day ground shipping to 90% of the U.S. This ability enhances the process of managing your brand and grants each employee and location the responsibility and oversight of its marketing materials and branded items. 

 

Data Analysis  

At the end of each fiscal year, marketing leaders often find themselves trying to identify where their budget went. Budget allocation is crucial when planning for the following year’s initiatives. Dokshop’s custom-built data analytic tools ensure you have the insights you care about most. 

  • Diverse types of information in real-time. 
  • Procurement, reporting, and accounting insights. 
  • Track expenditures, identify areas of optimization, and gain a clear understanding of your financial landscape.  
  • Knowledge of what resources are in inventory, where they are located, the price, and the time it will take to ship in one location.  
  • Supplier relationships are in one place, allowing you to optimize costs and save time.  
  • Builds reports showing which materials are purchased the most and who is purchasing them. 
  • Transparency and accuracy in financial reporting. 
  • Budgetary allocation and expense reconciliation in one location.

Dokshop’s employee automation tools can significantly enhance various aspects of business operations, particularly in the areas of user experience, ownership capabilities, and personalization. Dokshop ensures brand consistency, enhances materials management, and is easy to use.

In the employee automation section, we mentioned dokshop’s ability to show/hide different store views to specific users across your organization. This ensures employees do not go rogue when ordering materials and that they only have access to store-specific items.

Customizable Collateral 

Dokshop’s capabilities allow you to do more than manage print production.

This allows variability for people, locations, and multiple brands within one organization.
