Branded Inventory
Generic Branded Items and Apparel
Generic branded items and apparel are now in stock in the warehouse through the Branded Inventory Catalog. This process speeds up order and delivery times, ensures consistent branding, and reduces spending and inventory.
The catalog contains frequently purchased items from licensed suppliers. We are always working to improve item selection, however, if you find something new, products not included in the catalog, these can be requested through the exception request form. If approved, it can then be sourced and priced through Procurement by submitting a Sourcing request form.
