UNICUM Merchandising

Full Service

Full-Service Promotional Products for Companies

From a single order to a group-wide merchandise programme: consulting, sourcing, warehousing, an ordering platform with SAP integration and shipping – with one point of contact.

Ordering via OCI from SAP SRM Orders by 12 noon usually ship the same day Pre-financing or consignment stock

Whether you need shirts for a single trade show or want to manage merchandise for several companies, locations and many authorised staff: we take on exactly the part that takes the load off you – from a single building block to a complete programme of consulting, sourcing, warehousing, ordering platform, portal and shipping.

Full-service promotional products – built for companies

In a group, no single department decides alone. Marketing wants a consistent brand image, HR punctual welcome boxes, procurement an order from SAP and controlling costs per cost centre. Our full service maps all of this in one process: your employees order via an ordering platform with OCI punchout, we store, pick and ship, and in the customer portal you see stock, call-offs and invoices live at any time.

How we work together

Process in five steps: briefing, sampling, sourcing, platform, ongoing operation
  1. Briefing and requirements: Who orders what, for which companies and locations? We clarify range, quantities, budgets and approval routes.
  2. Range and sampling: Product suggestions, design in your corporate design, samples for approval.
  3. Sourcing and finishing: Purchasing, printing and embroidery through specialised partners, quality check before storage.
  4. Platform and portal: We set up the ordering platform with roles, ranges, budgets and cost centres – with OCI integration into SAP SRM if required – and give your team access to the customer portal.
  5. Ongoing operation: Call-off, picking, shipping and returns. We suggest reorders based on your call-offs; the monthly report shows stock and costs per company and cost centre.

What each department gets

  • Marketing and brand: one range, one corporate design, one approval – implemented consistently everywhere.
  • HR and employer branding: welcome boxes, anniversary gifts and team equipment arrive on time, without anyone packing boxes in the office.
  • Procurement: ordering from SAP via OCI punchout, fixed terms, one supplier for sourcing, warehousing and shipping.
  • Controlling: stock with its value, costs per company and cost centre, invoices in one place in the portal – and pre-financing instead of tied-up capital on request.

Getting started: simply order

Not every partnership starts with a programme. Often it is first about T-shirts for the next trade show, giveaways for an event or gifts for customers. You can order these directly in the UNICUM promotional products shop or, for textiles, at UNICUM Textildruck – or send us a short request. When orders become regular, several locations are involved or goods need to be stored, we turn this into a programme step by step.

In practice

For Linde we run a merchandising shop and handle large-volume call-offs. For Bender we operate a dedicated web shop for branded clothing and merchandise. For Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, individual orders are placed continuously through several shop accounts. In total we operate more than 100 web shops for companies, institutions and organisations.

Frequently asked questions

What does full service for promotional products mean?+

We take care of the entire chain: consulting and range, design, sourcing and finishing, warehousing, ordering platform, customer portal, fulfilment, kitting, reporting and time-limited campaigns – completely or as individual building blocks.

Can I simply order goods?+

Yes. Many customers start with a single order – T-shirts for a trade show, giveaways or gifts. You can order directly in our promotional products shop unicum-werbeartikel.de or send us a request. A programme with warehousing and a platform can follow later.

Can the ordering platform be connected to SAP?+

Yes. Via OCI punchout your employees order directly from SAP SRM; the integration is in use with numerous customers. Budgets, approvals and cost centres are mapped in the platform.

Is single sign-on available?+

With OCI punchout your employees start from within SAP, so no separate login is needed. Integration with your identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID, is available on request.

How quickly do you ship?+

Orders from stock received by 12 noon usually leave our warehouse the same day.

Do we have to pay for the stock in advance?+

Not necessarily. On request we pre-finance the stored goods; alternatively we work with consignment stock.

What do we see in the customer portal?+

Stock per item and batch, goods receipts, call-offs and invoices, plus demand forecasts, recommended minimum stock levels, reorder suggestions and slow-mover detection. We set up access for your team with roles and two-factor authentication.

Are there minimum order quantities?+

That depends on the product and finishing method – from small runs to large series, we find the right solution.

What evidence can you provide for our procurement team?+

We are GOTS-certified as a trader (Kiwa BCS, GOTS-15995) and a member of PSI. We offer GOTS screen printing through certified partners. For the ordering platform we conclude a data processing agreement under the GDPR.
