Can I route orders to my own suppliers and decorators instead of a platform's fulfillment?

Yes. Orders route to your own suppliers and decorators, with purchase orders raised on your own account numbers. Brandfora never sits between you and your vendors and takes no position in the supply.

Routing works per line, not per order. A mixed cart holding a one-off DTG hoodie, a 250-piece screen run and forty tumblers splits three ways: DTG to your DTG floor, the screen run to the screen room or a contract decorator you name, the hard goods drop-shipped from the supplier on your account. Each destination gets a purchase order with the artwork, the print zone, the sizes and the ship-to already on it. Split shipments and cancel-through are handled, so a canceled line pulls its purchase order back instead of leaving a ghost order sitting at the supplier. You whitelist which suppliers appear anywhere in the network and which brands are restricted, so a location cannot sell what it is not allowed to carry.

Typing a purchase order by hand takes about six minutes, every time, and it is where wrong sizes and wrong ship-to addresses enter the system. Multiply six minutes by every order with more than one source, then add the reprints that come from a transcription error nobody caught.

This suits networks with existing supplier relationships and negotiated terms, which is the whole point: the rebate follows the account number, so the volume has to land on your account rather than ours. The honest limit is integration depth. SanMar and Fulfill Engine are integrated today and S&S Activewear is rolling out; a supplier without an integration receives a purchase order rather than a live inventory feed.
