What is the IEX platform?

The IEX platform is Imprint Engine’s proprietary brand experience management software that goes beyond a typical swag management tool. IEX lets you collaborate on products, manage inventory, launch stores, automate gifting, and ship globally while giving admins control over budgets, users, and integrations in one secure hub.

How does IEX help with governance, budgets, and approvals?

IEX helps with governance by offering role-based access, department-level visibility, and budget controls so you can limit which teams see specific products and how much they can spend. Admins can set budgets by department, region, or business unit, manage users and currencies, and review activity, which creates a clear approval and accountability structure.

Can we manage multiple brands, regions, or business units in IEX?

Yes. IEX is built to support complex enterprise structures, including multiple organizations under one agreement, multi-country inventory, and multi-currency budgets. You can separate access, catalogs, and reporting by brand, region, or business unit while still keeping everything under a single global infrastructure.

What integrations does IEX support (SSO, HRIS, CRM, and more)?

IEX integrates with leading tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Workday, and other HR or CRM platforms, as well as SSO providers and Zapier. These integrations let you automate corporate gifting and employee milestones, manage user access with SSO, and connect your existing systems to IEX so branded experiences fit naturally into current workflows.

What reporting and analytics are available in IEX?

IEX provides reporting on orders, sends, shipments, inventory levels, and user activity so you can see what is being sent, where, and why in real time.

Imprint Engine operates offices and warehouses in the United States, Ireland, and India, with additional capabilities across Europe and Asia to support local production and fulfillment. This global footprint allows us to keep timelines, quality, and compliance consistent around the world.

Can Imprint Engine take over our existing swag inventory?

Yes. Imprint Engine can intake your existing swag inventory into our warehouses and make it available inside the IEX platform. Once onboarded, teams can see accurate stock levels, use items in campaigns and stores, and avoid waste by drawing down existing inventory before creating new products.

Who owns the inventory and how is it managed?

In most enterprise programs, your company owns the inventory while Imprint Engine manages storage, decoration, picking, packing, and global fulfillment. IEX provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, low-stock warnings, and inventory reports so you maintain financial ownership with operational peace of mind.

How does Imprint Engine approach sustainability and ethical sourcing?

Imprint Engine approaches sustainability by prioritizing products that are durable, reusable, and made with environmentally conscious materials, and by working with over 100 eco-focused vendors and suppliers. Through Imprint Impact, we also support local communities, avoid forced labor in our vendor network, and donate overstock inventory to nonprofits instead of sending it to landfills.

How does pricing work for enterprise customers?

Pricing for enterprise customers combines your IEX plan with the scope of services—such as creative, integrations, online stores, and global fulfillment—alongside product and shipping costs. After a discovery conversation, Imprint Engine proposes a tailored plan that aligns with your program volume, regions, and integration needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all pricing model.

What is the IEX Rebate program and how does it work?

The IEX Rebate program turns your product purchases into future rewards by giving you 2% back on all product purchases with IEX Pro and up to 5% back with IEX Enterprise. The rebate is based on a tiered system, applies globally, and every eligible order contributes toward credits you can use on future product purchases.

Is there a minimum spend or cap on IEX rebates?

No. There is no minimum spend to start earning rebates, and there is no cap on the amount you can earn. Rebate earnings begin with your first qualifying product purchase and scale as your total spend grows over the course of your IEX plan.

How does Imprint Engine work with procurement and finance teams?

Imprint Engine works with procurement and finance teams by consolidating swag and gifting vendors into one platform-driven partner, standardizing contracts, and centralizing spend. With IEX reporting and budget controls, plus a rebate program and Coupa certification, procurement can manage compliance while finance gains clearer visibility into global branded merchandise investment.

Does Imprint Engine support SSO and user provisioning (SSO/SCIM)?

Yes. Imprint Engine regularly partners with security, legal, and privacy teams at enterprise clients to complete reviews and share documentation. We provide details on infrastructure, data flows, compliance posture, and contractual terms so your internal stakeholders can evaluate and approve the solution with confidence.

What does onboarding and implementation look like for enterprises?

Onboarding for enterprise clients typically starts with discovery to map your teams, regions, systems, and use cases, followed by a phased rollout plan. That plan can include inventory intake, IEX configuration, store launches, integrations, and training so your internal stakeholders adopt the new global swag management system smoothly.

What ongoing support will our teams receive, and can we start with a pilot?

Imprint Engine provides ongoing support through global customer service, shipping and tracking help, and end-user support, with higher tiers adding dedicated brand managers, strategy partners, and Slack-based collaboration. Many enterprises start with a specific program or region as a pilot, then expand to a full global ecosystem once the model is proven internally.

How does Imprint Engine handle training and change management for our teams
