What you’ll walk away with
A clear-eyed look at why every category of existing apparel software, from single-method workflow tools to POD-only fulfillment engines, generic print MIS, and home-grown systems, was never built for what decorators run today.
What end-to-end actually means in practice. One platform across procurement, workflow, logistics, and storefronts, with direct integrations into the DTG and embroidery machines you already own (Brother, Kornit, Aeoon, Epson, Mimaki, Tajima, Melco).
The local production advantage in a tariff-volatile world, and how 150+ partners in 32 countries change what one decorator can take on.
A look at the GelatoConnect Apparel roadmap and where multi-decoration is heading in the next 12 months.
You’ll leave with the case to make internally, the proof points to make it with, and the clearest possible answer to the question: “why move off what we have today?”
Real shops, real results, in their own words.
TidyMerch: €500K to €2M, zero new staff or machines. “Before GelatoConnect, I had 10x overstock of some SKUs and constant stock-outs of others.” — Charlie Saunders, CEO
T-Shirt Gang: 5 to 10% lower shipping in Canada, 40 to 50¢ saved per parcel in US peak. “GelatoConnect has full-time resources negotiating rates. We just don’t have time to do that ourselves.” — Gus Cornaris, co-founder
Imperial Custom Apparel: Listing team cut from 17 to 3. 300 products listed per day. “Store Link has bought back my time. As a business owner, it gave me back time to focus on growth.” — JC Urena, owner
WeMust: 0 to 20,000 POD orders in month one. A second DTG machine within two weeks. “It’s a one dashboard where I can see everything. Once you have clarity, that’s when you actually fix things.” — Amit Kumar, CEO
