They lose it in the gaps: retyping orders into supplier portals, opening boxes to see what arrived, hunting for the work order at the machine,” InkIQ Co-Founder & CEO William Malouf said. “With S&S ordering and ZeroTouch inside InkIQ, nothing is re-entered and nothing sits on a shelf waiting to be sorted.”According to S&S, its proprietary receiving technology, ZeroTouch, reduces receiving labor by 40% to 60% while improving production speed, accuracy, and consistency. The company’s automated distribution network also supports 99.9% order accuracy.When a decorator approves a job in InkIQ, the purchase order is placed with S&S directly from the job, carrying the product, quantity, artwork and decoration details. S&S ships the blanks with ZeroTouch box-level labels, and optional garment-level labels, so incoming stock can be routed directly to the right machine without opening, counting or staging boxes. Scanning a ZeroTouch code opens the matching job in InkIQ, with decoration type, placement and artwork attached.Through a direct API connection, catalog ordering covers all S&S brands and SKUs available to the decorator’s account, with live inventory, pricing, order status and shipment tracking available inside InkIQ. Decorators connect using their own S&S accounts, retaining their pricing and terms.“ZeroTouch was built to help decorators get blanks into production faster,” said Rob Hamill, Chief Strategy Officer of S&S. “Connecting it with the system shops use to manage their work gives more customers a practical way to simplify receiving and put our S&S Business Solutions to work. We’re proud to partner with InkIQ bring the full S&S catalog and ZeroTouch capabilities to its customers.”The S&S integration is available now to InkIQ customers and expands its supplier network, which connects decorators with apparel and promotional product suppliers through PromoStandards and direct APIs.For more information, visit inkiq.io and follows us on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram.is the vertical AI platform for decorated apparel and promotional product distributors and suppliers.
