The Problem

Sourcing shouldn't take this long

Many distributors search the same product across several supplier websites. That means logging in, filtering through different catalogs, and chasing pricing, all before you can even quote a client.

By the time you find what you need, the client may be waiting, and you still might not have inventory or decoration details.

Searching the same product across multiple portals
Special pricing not visible during search
No real-time inventory visibility
Decoration details require separate supplier lookups
No side-by-side product comparison

About Supplier Index

What is Supplier Index?

Supplier Index is a unified promotional product search platform that brings together products from multiple suppliers into a single, searchable interface, enhanced with AI-powered ideation to help you discover better product options faster.

How is the PromoLink tool different from traditional supplier search?

Traditional sourcing requires jumping between supplier websites, checking inventory, pricing, and decoration separately. Supplier Index brings all of this into one place, removing bias, saving time, and improving visibility across all suppliers.

Does Supplier Index show real-time inventory?

Supplier Index provides inventory visibility by warehouse and color, helping you quickly assess availability before quoting. (Availability depends on supplier data feeds.)

What decoration information is available?

Supplier Index includes decoration methods, locations, and options upfront, so you can evaluate feasibility before presenting or quoting products.

What is supplier onboarding?

Supplier onboarding is the process of integrating supplier product data into Supplier Index. This includes bringing in product catalogs, pricing structures, inventory feeds, and decoration information so they can be searched and displayed in a standardized way.

You can also onboard your preferred suppliers directly by selecting them and entering your account details, such as your account number, EQP status, and PromoStandards API credentials, to ensure your pricing and access levels are accurately reflected.

If you're unsure how to obtain your PromoStandards credentials from a supplier, Supplier Index includes a built-in option to send a request email directly to the supplier, helping you complete the setup quickly.

The goal is to ensure consistent, accurate, and personalized data across all suppliers, so you can compare and evaluate products efficiently.

Is Supplier Index a standalone application?

No. Supplier Index is included with ShowCase, Sales Order and Storefront, and with every Enterprise solution, rather than sold on its own. That way the products you find move straight into presentations, client stores, sales orders and purchase orders.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes. ShowCase, Sales Order and Storefront each come with a 30-day free trial, with no credit card needed, and Supplier Index is included in each of them.

Sourcing promotional products

How can I search multiple promotional product suppliers at once?

Use a supplier search platform that connects to suppliers directly instead of jumping between supplier websites. Supplier Index lets you search 150+ PromoStandards suppliers in one place, by item code, product name, theme or a plain-language brief, with pricing, inventory and decoration details on the same screen.

How do I see my negotiated (EQP) pricing across promo suppliers?

Connect the suppliers you already have accounts with. In Supplier Index you enter your own supplier account number, EQP status and PromoStandards API credentials once, and pricing is returned from the supplier's system as your customer price, not a generic catalog rate. You can switch between Net, Customer and List pricing, blank or decorated, and FOB point on one screen.

How do I set up and connect my suppliers?

Start a free trial of ShowCase, Sales Order or Storefront and you can search Supplier Index right away, with no complex setup. Then select the suppliers you already have accounts with and enter your account number, EQP status and PromoStandards API credentials once, so pricing and inventory reflect your own account. Products you find move into ShowCase, Storefront, quotes and purchase orders in one click.

How can I check real-time inventory from promotional product suppliers?

Supplier Index pulls inventory from connected suppliers and shows it by color, size and warehouse in one grid. Each section shows whether the figures are live or cached, and you can request a fresh pull before you quote. Availability depends on each supplier's data feed.

How do I compare promotional products from different suppliers side by side?

Select the products you are considering, pick a color, enter quantities by size and your ship-to ZIP code. Product Compare returns total and per-unit landed cost, the closest warehouse and whether it can fill the order, all on your own account pricing.

Where can I find decoration methods, imprint locations and setup charges?

Every product in Supplier Index has a decoration view: browse by imprint location, see the methods available there, and pull setup and run charges live from the supplier. See Product Details for what is shown per product.

How can I save and share product shortlists with my team?

Save products into Collections while you search. Name them by client or order, keep them private or share them with your team, and come back with pricing still connected to the supplier.

What should I look for in a promotional product sourcing tool?

Ask where the price comes from: is it retrieved from the supplier against your account, or typed into a catalog by someone else? Then check how inventory is shown (by size and warehouse, or one total), whether decoration charges are live, whether you can see when a supplier connection is failing, and whether products move straight into presentations, quotes and orders.
