GelatoConnect announces new features, including apparel-specific workflows

GelatoConnect, an enterprise software solution for the global print industry, has introduced new features, including workflows for apparel production. Notable updates include:

• Newly Launched Workflow for Apparel: As the on-demand apparel industry continues to grow, the GelatoConnect Workflow for Apparel is designed to streamline the entire apparel production process, from Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing to embroidery and sublimation. This end-to-end workflow eliminates the need for multiple production software, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
• Enhanced Procurement Module with increased flexibility and automation: The procurement process in GelatoConnect has been refined to give print producers full control over their supply chain. The ability to add and manage suppliers, automate replenishment, and track inventory has resulted in significant cost savings and efficiency gains.
• Advanced Logistics Capabilities and More Carriers: The logistics module now supports nearly 100 carriers, including Amazon Shipping, FedEx International, and DHL Parcel Connect. This expansion, along with enhanced APIs for tracking and cost management, ensures that print producers can manage their global shipping operations with ease.

Gelato is touting the early successes of GelatoConnect early adopters. In the apparel industry, TidyMerch has reduced customer complaints by 70% and cut shipping costs per parcel by 20-30% through GelatoConnect’s advanced logistics and inventory management features. With a 19% revenue increase, TidyMerch attributes much of its success to better inventory management and the time saved through automation.

“With GelatoConnect, we’ve managed to reduce the time spent on label creation from 2 minutes to just 2 seconds, saving 13 hours of work per day. This has been a game-changer for our business, especially in managing our extensive apparel SKUs,” said Charlie Saunders, TidyMerch CEO.
