Kotis Swag Platform
What it is
Kotis Swag Platform is a web platform for organizations running branded merchandise programs. It supports employee, giveaway, ecommerce, and pre-order stores, with unlimited stores and users advertised. Teams can manage quotes, orders, art proofs, inventory, order status, and shipment tracking in one place. Reporting covers inventory, sales, shipping costs, and user activity; organizations can also assign budgets by team and set internal approvals. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Shopify, Zapier, Coupa PunchOut, Google Analytics, Workday, and BambooHR workflows. The JSON/REST API supports orders, inventory, tracking, and redemption codes, while single sign-on supports Google Workspace, Azure Active Directory, Okta, and SAML. Kotis says its distribution centers store swag and offer same-day shipping. It describes dedicated support and program-manager onboarding to launch portals and SKUs over 30–60 days. Pricing depends on plan and swag spend: Standard is $499/mo below $5,000/qtr, and Standard, Premium, and Enterprise list a $2,500 one-time setup cost.
