Numerous web-to-print/online storefront programs offer this feature. Each vendor might call it something slightly different, but you have an online "Store" or "Catalog" where you upload the products, and you can assign which account(s) are able to see it and order it. There is also an inventory feature where you can input how many you have on the shelf, and the software will automatically subtract as they are ordered. It can even give you (the print shop) a warning when it's time to replenish the stock based on the trigger amount you specify. Be aware that this "inventory" feature is sometimes an additional cost. And as
@gregbatch mentioned, you can click on a thumbnail and see a larger view, select your quantity, and place the order.
A few vendors to consider include:
- PageDNA (they sell direct, or they will sell exclusively through Konica Minolta)
- Print ePS (formerly called Digital StoreFront by EFI)
- Print Shop Pro (This is specifically designed for inplants and doesn't have all the features a commercial print shop may want, but if you just want the store/catalog described, they have that feature. We have this at the county inplant I work at and have several hundred items in our catalog)
- MyOrderDesk by Print Reach (this company also owns Printer's Plan which is a very well known MIS for print shops)
There are probably a dozen more out there...
