One of the biggest advantages of operating a Company Store is the ability to add business cards to the product lineup.  We have a customer with a national footprint.  The HR Manager and Marketing Manager were frustrated with managing the continual stream of business card requests for title changes and new hires.  The process to typeset the cards was very manual, keeping track of the proofs and approvals was almost impossile, and the turn time was unacceptable.  They were finding that a lot of local employees were "creating their own" business cards and printing them at a local print shop.  You can imagine the challenges with maintaining brand compliance.

This past spring we added a Business Card to their on-line Company Store.  The employees are able to login and create their own business cards by entering their own information.  A proof is generated in real time where the employee "approves" it at the time they place the order.  To prevent any entreprenurial employees from gaining a promotion to CEO, we set up an approval process where anyone in the HR department can "verify or decline" the order.  Since the employees know that there are checks and balances, they know better than to claim a better title.

The workflow is streamlined so HR's only task is to click a link to "approve or decline" the business card request.  The new business cards are typically shipped within 2-3 days and are delivered via FedEx ground.
