The State of PromoStandards in 2025

The State of PromoStandards in 2025

PromoStandards utilization continues to expand as more promo businesses adopt standardized services in streamlining operations.

The February 2025 PromoStandards Tech Conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida set a new attendance record, with nearly 200 industry professionals gathering to explore the evolving role of technology in the promotional products sector. eXtendTech sent 3 leaders to network and to ensure eXtendPromoStandards is adopting the most valuable features. We heard a lot of discussions on AI, automation, real-time data synchronization, in addition to specific PromoStandards insights.

Continuous Innovation at eXtendTech

The latest advancements the team is working on in eXtendPromoStandards includes support for Order Status 2.0 and Order Shipping Notifications 2.0, bringing enhanced transparency and real-time communication between suppliers and distributors. We have also created a user-friendly, configurable interface for our Purchase Order (PO) service to reduce the friction of getting orders to suppliers.

Seamless Integration for Promo Distributors

For distributors, real-time access to supplier data is essential for maintaining efficient workflows and delivering excellent customer service. The PromoStandards-Distributor Edition SuiteApp provides seamless connectivity, allowing integrations with hundreds of suppliers providing up-to-date inventory information, product data, and order details directly within NetSuite.

Optimized Operations for Promo Suppliers

Suppliers benefit from ensuring that distributors have real-time access to accurate product information and transactional data. eXtendPromoStandards Supplier Edition makes it easy for suppliers to publish product details, inventory levels, and order updates with built in support for PromoStandards APIs. 

Looking Ahead

As digital transformation continues to reshape the promotional products industry, eXtendTech remains dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that help businesses maximize the potential of NetSuite and PromoStandards.

We also have NetSuite applications with instant support for SAGE and ASI’s ESP putting the power of the product search tools and creating products directly into NetSuite.
