Built Around Custom Products
Our programs connect buyers in secondary markets to a network of distributors and manufacturers. By simplifying the complexities of custom-product transactions, we make it easier to source, develop and purchase specialty products.
Different Buyers Require
Different Models
A large private-label program, a seasonal team order and an individual customized purchase cannot move through production in the same way. S3SG structures digital commerce around three distinct demand profiles.
Dedicated Production
Fully customized and private-label programs produced against defined requirements and factory minimums.
Aggregated Production
Smaller orders combined within scheduled programs to create viable production volume.
Factory eCommerce
Individual and smaller orders connected to responsive production with less dependence on finished inventory.
Start With a Defined Opportunity
S3SG focuses on defined products and customer opportunities, then matches each with the buying model best suited to its requirements and expected volume.

Supporting Distribution Channels

Make Custom Buying Easier
Custom products require more coordination than conventional eCommerce. S3SG develops digital tools that help buyers move from an initial requirement through pricing, product approval and production with clearer information at each stage.
Sourcing
Find product options based on your requirements, order quantity and customization needs.
Pricing
Compare pricing across product styles, specifications, quantities and customization options
Approvals
Review artwork and product details before approving an order for production.
