Promostandards are a set of open guidelines that standardize how data is communicated in the promotional products industry. For the most part, distributors have eased the process of doing business with customers by implementing technology. However, there is still friction when it comes to exchange of electronic data between suppliers and distributors. Promostandards aims to streamline business processes and improve supply chain efficiency by allowing the promotional products industry to communicate electronically in a common language.
