Why iCoStore
Our Philosophy
Our founding vision was to build online company stores that offered an unlimited selection of quality merchandise with no inventory, no minimums and no inventory liability for our clients. We have spent the past 20+ years building technology and infrastructure to make just-in-time production a reality. The iCoStore vision was innovative and well ahead of its time, so much so, we had trouble explaining it to potential clients in the early days, because nobody believed it was possible. Today, you are asking for it and we are one of the very few who can offer true just-in-time solutions.
On-Demand Production
Not all on-demand decoration is created equal. In a world where “On-Demand” has become a buzzword, we recognize that true on-demand production means decorating one item at a time, in-house, when it is ordered, no minimums. At iCoStore, we’ve not only perfected on-demand production, but we’ve elevated it to an enterprise level that stands alone in the industry.
Inventory is expensive and unnecessary for most products. See how our on-demand solution will save you significant money and offer a much better experience to your employees.
On Demand Benefits
The benefits of no inventory and no minimums is significant. Not only is it the most sustainable way to run a program, but employees love having a great selection and you will love not having inventory liability and wasted product.

In-House Decoration
To run the best programs, we must have full control of the entire production process, and not depend on outside decorators. For that reason, we do all decoration in-house.
