What do you like best about Kotis Design?

I find that the platform is easy to navigate and that all of the information is presented clearly. Additionally, I really like that you can set-up multiple portals for various departments / projects / cohorts. I also really like that Kotis is able to handle all of the international shipping constraints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

The least useful part about Kotis is the new item notification system. Currently, I am sent a catalog by our Account Executive with a limited number of new items. It would be great if Kotis had an online cataloge that was updated with any / all new items and options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kotis is solving several problems for our teams. First, we have many employees who are distributed globally. Kotis makes it simple and easy to place shipments to these individuals and takes the headache out of reqirements for International Shipping. Second, Kotis makes it incredibly easy to re-order existing items. We have a few programs that run continuously and being able to keep the inventory levels steady is a great feature.

What do you like best about Kotis Design?

I can always rely on Kotis Design. From reaching out to their team for support on conceptualizing a project down to any shipping problems and any other logistics.

They have a huge variety of items and they really work hard to make your ideas and vision come true!

The platform is well organised and super easy to use. The onboarding is great! I can go to the team for any questions and I've never had a problem not solved.

I use it at least every week to send packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

I dont dislike anything about Kotis Design.

I just wish they also had a warehouse in europe because I think more people would use them for merchandise production and shipping in europe as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think one of the best things about Kotis is that they will ship your merchandise internationally all over the world and also faciliatate custom logistics which has been a nightmare for me in the past.

They also have a warehouse which make my life so easy to manage the stock of all our merchandise and I dont even have to count them one by one myself, everything is counted and organised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotis Design?

The team of people I work with at Kotis are great; they are collaborative, responsive (within reasonable time-frames), and genuinely strive to be helpful. Kotis' platform is really what sets them apart from competitots like Halo: they devleoped their own platform for pretty much all aspects of the process for reviewing options, approving proofs, placing orders, viewing inventory, etc. Compared to other companies where the same things would be accomplished by emailing 15MB PDFs around, this is a game changer. Kotis also has excellent customer service to help my customers get their items. Overall, Kotis is an excellent partner that I would reccomend to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

I think this is more a limitation of the industry in general, but I'm sometimes surprised by the things Kotis *can't* order for me. There have been a few swag projects that I've needed to spin up on my own, which means more work for me. Or I want a product, and the company in question only offers some of their products, not the one I want. And if I'm forced to be critical, I might add that sometimes I wish Kotis responded a bit quicker to my emails, but their team is shared among multiple clients so I try to keep that in mind. Generally I get responses within 2-48 hours which is reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kotis helps take the load off myself and my team for managing various swag projects. They offer real end-to-end solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotis Design?

I love that our team has a warehouse that we can utilize while being a fully remote company. I also love the ease of reordering swag once we have found something we love! We have utilized Kotis' redemption portal a few times now and it has been a seamless experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

There seem to be a lot of stock issues. There have been several times when I have approved artwork and then found out that the item is out of stock and unable to be ordered. I would also appreciate a swag library where I, as a customer, could search through different swag options that include pricing and MQL information. Sometimes it takes too long to wait for a showcase from my account manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kotis allows us to have a warehouse to store our swag being that we are a fully remote company. They also help us to source new, exciting swag for our events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clarisse Suceda of Kotis Design

Hi Annie, thanks for your feedback. We love hearing directly from clients so we can continuously improve the experience. In our industry, stock can fluctuate daily, however we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by stock issues and are working to improve our inventory checks and communication.

Regarding your idea, we love the concept of clients having more autonomy to browse product without needing a showcase. We have some ideas in the works that we think you’ll like. Feel free to share more ideas. Swag on.

What do you like best about Kotis Design?

I appreciate the level of assistance provided in terms of being able to connect various employees within our organization to our Kotis Account Managers and they take the lead on helping them with their individual orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

We've had a lot of different account managers over the past couple years of working with Kotis, which sometimes causes an adjustment period. I also think sometimes requests can fall through the cracks and I have to check back in and follow up that updates or certain requests were received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kotis is assisting us in running our online store for employees to access branded apparel and merchandise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clarisse Suceda of Kotis Design

Thanks for your feedback. We strive to make transitions as smooth as possible when an account rep goes on leave, but we understand there is room for improvement. I noticed your primary CPM went on maternity leave, and shortly after, her replacement went on health leave. This created a unique challenge. If you ever need additional support, definitely let us know.

What do you dislike about Kotis Design?

Absolutely nothing! Turn around time on proofs are quick, but would be nice if they were even faster. However we understand that side of the job is not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotis Design solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company has had trouble with putting out apparel and accessories that we can be proud of. With Kotis and the quality they provide us, we can be proud wearing/using/giving these items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
