Background

DKM Blue is an Australian supplier of corporate clothing, promotional merchandise, and PPE. A key offering is customised web stores for clients: real-time stock visibility, bulk ordering, and replenishment.

Challenge

As the business grew, they needed a uniform ordering platform that could:

  • Create and manage multiple client-specific storefronts
  • Restrict access and customisation per client
  • Offer inventory visibility and reporting
  • Support complex ordering: backorders and production tracking

The legacy setup lacked the modularity, automation, and role flexibility those jobs needed.

Solution

A multi-tenant ordering platform on nopCommerce, with custom features for how DKM Blue actually sells.

Multi-tenant storefronts

  • Admin creates new customer stores
  • Login restricted to assigned storefronts
  • Independent order ID counters per store
  • Per-store theming via dynamic CSS

Ordering and payments

  • Payment methods by customer role: account versus procurement
  • Bulk ordering tables on product pages
  • Custom confirmation emails that show stock status (in production, backorder)

Reporting

Custom reports:

  • Average Monthly Usage
  • Backorder Levels
  • Cost Price vs Retail
  • In Production Stock
  • Stock on Hand

Stock and fulfilment

Custom stock handling for:

  • Backorders
  • Partial fulfilment
  • Production queues

Real-time inventory monitoring and forecasting.

Results

DKM Blue now runs branded client storefronts that give those clients:

  • Visibility into product availability
  • Faster ordering and restocking
  • Access control by role and store
  • Tailored themes and communications

Internally, the system cut spreadsheet tracking and positioned the business for white-labelled uniforms.
