The only production OS that comes with its own customers.
Deploy GelatoConnect to automate procurement, workflow, and logistics on your floor. Then unlock production volume from Optimalprint and GelatoCreate, scaling revenue without scaling sales overhead.
Demand-driven manufacturing
The only manufacturing OS that pays for itself.
Most production software is a cost centre. It manages paperwork, not production. GelatoConnect is different. It runs your floor, then connects you to a steady stream of new demand from the global Gelato network. Operational savings on day one. Net-new revenue from week one.
The revenue stacking model
Three layers of revenue. One platform.
Growth stacks in three distinct layers on top of your current business. Each compounds on the last.
Base optimisation
Your existing customers. GelatoConnect automates procurement, workflow, and logistics across their orders, recovering 15 to 20 percent of margin lost to manual errors, overstock, and carrier inefficiency.
- ESP Colour: doubled profit margin year one
- Bennett Graphics: $228K saved annually
- Up to 40 percent lower shipping cost
The consumer accelerator
Optimalprint volume routed straight to your production queue. Instant, high-frequency consumer orders. Existing capacity, new revenue.
- No marketing spend
- No sales hires
- Onboard in five minutes
The creator accelerator
GelatoCreate volume from global creators and digital brands. High-margin orders delivered at scale through a steady pipeline legacy software cannot route.
- Premium creator economy demand
- Connect once, scale globally
- Built on 15 years of Gelato network data
The virtual factory
Capture every order. Never say no to a customer again.
When a customer needs a product you do not produce, embroidered apparel, custom wallpaper, packaging, signage, route it through the global Gelato network instead of turning it away.
You keep the customer. You keep the margin. You expand share of wallet without expanding your floor.

Static vs dynamic
Legacy software is a cost centre. GelatoConnect is a growth engine.
Cost grows with use on legacy MIS. Margin grows with use on GelatoConnect.

|---|---|---|

| Logistics | Manual carrier picks, fixed contracts | AI-driven selection across 100+ carriers, up to 40 percent lower shipping cost |
| Demand | You sell what you can find on your own | Direct demand from Optimalprint and GelatoCreate |
| Onboarding | Months of implementation | Live in weeks, customers onboarded in 5 minutes |
| Margin trajectory | Cost grows with usage | Margin grows with usage |

Common questions about the Accelerator.
What is the GelatoConnect Accelerator? +
It is the combined value of running GelatoConnect on your floor (operational savings across procurement, workflow, and logistics) and the new demand routed to your production queue from Optimalprint and GelatoCreate. Software plus a built-in demand engine.
How does GelatoConnect bring me new customers? +
When you connect to GelatoConnect, your production capacity becomes available to the global Gelato network. Optimalprint orders (consumer demand) and GelatoCreate orders (creator and brand demand) can be routed to your facility. You produce existing capacity, you collect new revenue.
How is GelatoConnect different from a legacy MIS? +
Legacy MIS systems manage paperwork, not production, and grow more expensive with use. GelatoConnect runs your floor in real time, automates carrier selection across 100+ carriers, and connects you to demand from the global Gelato network.
Can I produce locally for global B2B clients? +
Yes. GelatoConnect gives you access to local production in 32 countries through one unified software stack. You can support a B2B client's global rollout from your single point of contract, with 1,000+ SKUs available overnight.
How quickly do customers see results? +
Operational savings on day one through automated procurement, AI-driven carrier selection, and end-to-end production automation. ESP Colour doubled profit margin in their first year. TidyMerch saw 19 percent revenue uplift in week one after fixing stockouts.
