Over the last decade, Gooten has operated deep in print-on-demand: fulfilling millions of items, supporting recognizable brands, and navigating the complexity of made-to-order production at scale.
We’ve seen the pain points: brittle integrations, misrouted orders, exception overload, production blackouts, inconsistent SKU data, and hours lost to spreadsheets just to move orders from acceptance to shipment. The takeaway is simple: print-on-demand isn’t hard for businesses to use because of the printing. It’s hard because of inadequate infrastructure and technology.
That’s why we built OrderMesh.
OrderMesh wasn’t a side project for Gooten. It was the biggest bet we ever made that started in 2021.
As our fulfillment network expanded and enterprise customers demanded more flexibility and operational intelligence, our legacy Gooten systems couldn’t keep pace. We didn’t need another patch—we needed new infrastructure.
We needed something modern and API-first, with platform security rigorous enough to withstand enterprise compliance vetting. Something purpose-built for print’s complexity and a system that would make a print-on-demand expert say “this was built by someone who knows this space.”
That’s what OrderMesh delivers. It’s the most strategic investment we’ve made as a company, and it now forms the foundation for Gooten as part of Taylor Corporation.
What It Does
OrderMesh is an order management platform built for the print-on-demand supply chain. It connects brands, marketplaces, decorators, printers, and distributors, orchestrating how orders move across vendors, methods, and systems.
Dynamic routing and exception handling.
Use OrderMesh to route orders across locations, vendors, or print methods based on customer requirements, available capacity, supplier preference, performance, and more, with real-time exception management built in. If the data exists, it can inform routing in OrderMesh.
Plug-and-play integrations.
Our growing ecosystem of vendor plugins, platform connectors, and open APIs makes it straightforward to manage fulfillment networks and connect sales channels without engineering bottlenecks. Make OrderMesh the last vendor integration you ever need with self-serve vendor onboarding features and a developer environment built for print.
Product normalization and catalog control.
OrderMesh normalizes catalog data across producers, creating a single source of truth and making multi-node vendor networks functional. The print-on-demand industry lacks data standards and the OrderMesh team is keen to solve this problem.
Operational visibility.
Every order is traceable. Monitor margin, SLA, throughput, facility performance—all tracked and visible.
Whether you’re a brand running your own supply chain, a marketplace connecting buyers and producers, or a manufacturer in-need of internal order management tooling, OrderMesh can work for you and replace clunky legacy systems with modern, reliable technology. OrderMesh is SOC 2 compliant from the ground up and your data is your data with the right to be forgotten. Reliability, security, and data integrity aren’t optional for the OrderMesh team and they shouldn’t be for your business either.
Where Gooten Fits In
OrderMesh doesn’t replace Gooten—it expands what Gooten can do.
Our Fulfillment Network now operates within the OrderMesh platform. You still access our production partners, but with better tooling and transparency. That means a fulfillment network ten times larger and truly global. A catalog expanding from hundreds of thousands of SKUs to millions. More integrations, more routing flexibility, fewer bottlenecks. Expansion beyond print-on-demand into new fulfillment strategies and production types.
Gooten can act as a “vendor” for your business through this Fulfillment Network, but the power of OrderMesh is the tooling that gives you the ability to transact directly with print-on-demand suppliers as well. You own the commercial relationships; we’re just the software layer that makes it easy to do business.
OrderMesh already powers some of the most complex operations in print. If you’re ready to see what it can do for yours, reach out at ordermesh.com.
