Gooten to advance development of OrderMesh platform

Following the purchase of Gooten by Taylor Corp., the future of the company and its order-routing technology has been a question floating around the industry. Earlier this week, Gooten president Maddy Alcala shared a letter sent to customers and partners, assuring them of continued commitment to the Gooten platform and expansion of OrderMesh. The letter is below, followed by a video.

Letter from the President: Introducing OrderMesh and the Future of Gooten

Dear Customers and Partners,

When we started Gooten, our goal was straightforward: make print-on-demand accessible at scale. That mission hasn’t changed. How we power it has.

Over the last decade, we’ve worked with thousands of merchants and shipped millions of orders. We’ve seen what works and what breaks when you scale print-on-demand across a global supply chain.

The lesson has been consistent: this market doesn’t need more production capacity or another dashboard. It needs infrastructure—infrastructure that makes global vendor networks manageable, eliminates manual order interventions, connects all types of systems without custom development, and improves with use.

That’s why we built OrderMesh, a cloud-native order management platform designed as the operating system for global print-on-demand fulfillment. OrderMesh already powers enterprises in print, including our parent company, Taylor Corporation. The system connects brands, marketplaces, decorators, printers, and distributors, orchestrating how orders move across facilities, print methods, and systems.

Where Gooten Fits In
OrderMesh doesn’t replace Gooten—it expands what Gooten can do.

Our Fulfillment Network now operates within the OrderMesh platform. You can still access our production partners, but with better tooling and transparency. The Gooten platform remains available at gooten.com, and in early 2026 we’ll streamline its offerings. Behind the scenes, our focus is on growing OrderMesh.

That means a fulfillment network ten times larger and truly global. A catalog expanding from hundreds of thousands of SKUs to millions. More integrations, more routing flexibility, fewer bottlenecks. And expansion beyond print-on-demand into new fulfillment strategies and production types.

Whether you use our production network or manage your own, OrderMesh provides the foundation to scale efficiently.

What This Means for You
If you’re already a Gooten customer: you’ll continue to have full access to the platform you know, with improvements coming in 2026. We’ll contact select customers in early 2026 to discuss whether switching to OrderMesh makes sense for your operation.

If you’re just getting to know us: OrderMesh is already powering some of the most complex operations in print-on-demand. We’d be glad to show you what it can do for yours.

This next chapter is more ambitious and more aligned with what modern commerce demands. We’re proud of what we’ve built. We’re more focused on what comes next.

Sincerely,

Maddy & the Gooten team
