ASICS has integrated its ProfitMaker and ProfitPro systems for suppliers using PromoStandards, allowing for streamlined operations and improved profitability.

In a significant stride towards digital transformation, ASI Computer Systems Inc. (ASICS), a leading provider of business management software designed for the promo industry, has integrated its ProfitMaker/ProfitPro system with PromoStandards.

This integration aims to reduce inefficiency and streamline the process of sharing essential information between suppliers and distributors. By enabling electronic purchase orders from distributors to suppliers and allowing suppliers to provide product inventory and transactional data to distributors in the PromoStandards format, the integration is expected to improve the entire communication chain, making it faster and more efficient for everyone involved in the promo industry.

Jamie Fens, senior vice president of product development and support for ASICS, stated that the integration is a step towards further modernization and integration of the industry. The PromoStandards initiative, a collaboration between suppliers, distributors, and service providers, aims to reduce back-and-forth emails and calls by enabling suppliers to share more essential information electronically.

The integration provides real-time inventory, order status, and shipping notifications to distributors, allowing them to access order status and shipping information directly from a supplier's ProfitMaker/ProfitPro system. This means distributors now have access to electronic one-stop ordering through the PromoStandards integration.

ASICS collaborates with various retail partners and distributors for the integration of the PromoStandards initiative, but specific company names are not publicly detailed. The integration is another step towards the modernization and integration of the promo industry, as part of ASICS and ASI's long-term process.

The PromoStandards initiative, spearheaded by the industry, aims to reduce inefficiency through technology. By adopting this initiative, the promo industry is expected to become more efficient and modern, benefiting suppliers as it allows them to connect better with distributors.

The integration is a significant step towards digital transformation in the promo industry. It is anticipated that this integration will further improve the communication chain, making it faster and more efficient for everyone involved in the promo industry. As the promo industry continues to evolve, such integrations are expected to become more common, leading to a more streamlined and efficient industry overall.
