Automated onboarding kits. Zero platform fees.
The Challenge
Employee Swag Programs Shouldn't Fall on HR's Plate
Onboarding Kits Are a Logistics Nightmare
New hires are distributed across cities and time zones. Assembling and shipping welcome kits manually doesn't scale, and late packages undermine a great first impression.
Nobody Wears the Swag
Cheap branded t-shirts end up as dust rags. When merchandise quality doesn't meet employee expectations, it reflects poorly on the company and wastes your budget.
Managing Sizes and Preferences Is Tedious
Collecting shirt sizes, address changes, and product preferences across a growing team creates spreadsheet chaos that HR never signed up for.
Budgets Vanish Without Visibility
Without centralized tracking, it's impossible to know how much you're spending per employee on merchandise or whether the investment is making an impact on retention.
The Solution
Employee Merchandise, Automated and Elevated
Curated Onboarding Kits
Design welcome kits with premium apparel, drinkware, and accessories that ship automatically when a new hire joins. Every package arrives branded and ready.
Employee Swag Store
Give your team access to an internal store with approved merchandise. Employees choose their own sizes, styles, and shipping addresses.
Milestone & Recognition Gifts
Automate anniversary gifts, promotion celebrations, and team achievement rewards. Set up triggers and let fulfillment run on autopilot.
Distributed Team Fulfillment
Ship to employees anywhere in the world from our global warehouse network. Individuals place orders or you send kits to a roster automatically.
Budget Controls & Reporting
Set spending limits per employee or department. Track every dollar with exportable reports that make end-of-quarter budget reviews effortless.
Send Moments
Common send moments for HR and people teams
Every new hire start date
Welcome kits ship automatically to home addresses ahead of day one. The cadence matches hiring velocity, not a once-a-year project.

One year, three year, five year, and ten year milestones each trigger a tiered gift. The program runs continuously as the team grows.
