Bottom Line Up Front: We won’t pretend InkSoft is the only online platform for apparel decorators and printers. But there are many things that set InkSoft apart from the competition and perfect for your custom branded merch business. Check out the five big differences between us and the others.

Whether you’re a two-person operation or a full-service print house, having the best platforms to run your business is important. In today’s decorated apparel and promo industries, having a solution that gets art proposals in front of clients faster, maintains production, and helps you and your customers crush e-commerce makes all the difference when it comes to standing out from the competition. While it’s true that there are a handful of platforms built for apparel decorators, InkSoft is the only one that comes packed with features all built to help you grow, sell more, and help your customers sell more.

Check out these five key reasons we stand out from the competition.

1. Robust Online Stores: InkSoft’s Online Stores let you create professional-looking storefronts in minutes. And you don’t need any extensive design experience or additional web savvy.

What’s different about us: Other platforms give you online stores, but they aren’t as robust as ours. Some aren’t optimized for mobile, while others leave much to be desired when it comes to the shopping experience for end customers.

2. Versatile Design Studio: InkSoft’s Design Studio lets you create professional, custom designs in minutes.

What’s different about us: There aren’t many other platforms built for the custom printed merchandise industry that feature a built-in design studio. In fact, Printavo and OrderMyGear don’t have one. Meanwhile, DecoNetwork has one, but it doesn’t feature a massive artwork library like InkSoft’s.

3. Rapid Product Creator: The Rapid Product Creator lets you build products quickly and easily. Other platforms allow you to add custom products, but it’s not as simple.

What’s different about us: You can build products inside the InkSoft platform. Other platforms like OrderMyGear require you to use a standalone platform like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator.

4. No Hidden Fees: With InkSoft, simply put, what you see is what you get. We don’t sneak in extra charges or fees that aren’t presented to you upfront. Other platforms add fees or additional costs, sometimes on services you should already have baked into your subscription, like support and training.

What’s different about us: InkSoft is built to scale with your business and gives you support as part of your subscription. Other platforms, like OrderMyGear, charge you as you scale up, taking a percentage of each dollar transacted. In addition, if you need more onboarding and training support, platforms like Printavo charge extra.

5. Made to Help You Sell: InkSoft is designed to not only help you manage your orders but sell more and get new customers. You can use Online Stores and the Design Studio as a robust set of tools to sell to new and existing customers. Plus, you can use online stores to show customers how you stand out from the competition.

What’s different about us: Most of our competing platforms help you manage orders and sort invoices. But they don’t set you up for the future. Choose a platform that’s ready to help you grow.

BONUS! Last But Not Least:
We’re based right here in the U.S., and so is our support staff. So you’ll always have a friendly member of our team ready to help you with all your important questions.
