Your own branded merchandise store, managed by us
We design, stock, and run a dedicated online merchandise store for your organisation. Your employees order what they need. We handle everything else from London.
Managing branded merchandise across a large organisation is harder than it should be
Spreadsheet orders, inconsistent branding, no budget visibility, and a cupboard full of leftover stock from the last event. Sound familiar?
Manual ordering chaos
Requests arrive by email, WhatsApp, and corridor conversations. Nobody knows what's been ordered, by whom, or what's in stock.
Brand inconsistency
Different departments ordering from different suppliers with different logos, colours, and quality standards. Your brand looks different every time.
No spend visibility
Finance can't see what's being spent on merchandise, by which department, or whether it's within budget. Costs spiral without anyone noticing.
From concept to live store in weeks, not months
We handle the complexity so your team can simply browse, order, and get on with their day.
We design your store
A branded portal in your colours, with your logo, your product range, and your approval workflows. It looks and feels like part of your organisation.
We curate the range
Our team selects and samples products that match your brand, budget, and sustainability requirements. Every item is pre-approved and pre-branded.
Your team orders
Employees or authorised users log in, browse approved products, and place orders. Department budgets, manager approvals, and delivery options are all built in.
We produce & deliver
Orders are fulfilled from our London production and fulfilment centres. Direct to desk, home address, or event venue anywhere in the UK and beyond.
Everything you need to manage merchandise at scale
Built for organisations that take their brand seriously.
Fully branded portal
Custom URL, your logo, your brand colours, and your product photography. Visitors see your brand, not ours.
User access & permissions
Employee logins, department-level access, manager approval workflows, and role-based permissions to keep control where you need it.
Budget management
Set spending limits by department, team, or individual. Real-time visibility for finance with downloadable reports and alerts.
Inventory & stock management
Live stock levels, automatic reorder alerts, and pre-production triggers so popular items are always available and nothing goes to waste.
London-based fulfilment
Orders picked, packed, and shipped from our fulfilment centre in Bow, East London. Next-day delivery across the UK as standard.
Reporting & analytics
See what's being ordered, by whom, how often, and at what cost. Monthly reports delivered to your inbox or available on-demand in the dashboard.
Built for how organisations actually use branded merchandise
Whether you're onboarding 50 new starters a month or running events across Europe, one store handles it all.
Employee Onboarding
New starters receive a welcome kit branded notebook, water bottle, hoodie, lanyard shipped to their desk or home before day one. HR selects from pre-approved items; we deliver.
Events & Conferences
Your events team orders branded merchandise for exhibitions, conferences, and client hospitality all pre-approved, on-brand, and delivered to the venue on schedule.
Client & VIP Gifting
Curated gift collections for client appreciation, deal closings, or seasonal gifting. Select a tier, personalise the message, and we handle premium packaging and delivery.
What makes a Color Company managed store different
Most merchandise companies source products from the same catalogues. We design and produce in-house, from our own London facilities.
