Does QuickBrand support Single Sign-On (SSO) with Okta or Azure AD?

Yes. QuickBrand integrates with Okta, Azure Active Directory, and other major enterprise identity providers using SAML 2.0. Your employees access their programs using existing credentials — no new accounts, no additional password management.

Can I connect my company store to our procurement system (PunchOut)?

Yes. QuickBrand is PunchOut-enabled and connects with major eProcurement systems including Coupa and Workday via cXML. Your existing procurement workflows, approval chains, and GL coding remain unchanged.

Is the platform independently audited for security?

Yes. QuickBrand Online Stores is SOC 2 Type 2 certified — the gold standard for enterprise security. SOC 2 Type 2 validates that security controls operated effectively over a sustained period. Documentation is available for your IT review process.

How long does it take to set up a company store?

A standard company store typically launches in two to four weeks. Programs requiring custom approval workflows, PunchOut integration, or multiple divisions generally take six to eight weeks. Identity Works manages the full setup process.

Can I control what different departments or employees can see and purchase?

Yes. QuickBrand's rule-based Access & Permissions system provides granular control over which users see which products, logos, payment methods, and administrative tools. Each division can have its own tailored experience within a single platform.

Does the platform support multiple locations or divisions?

Yes — multi-site and multi-division enterprise programs are a core QuickBrand strength. Each location or division can have its own branded storefront, product catalog, approval hierarchy, and budget controls, all centrally administered.

Is there an API for integration with other systems?

Yes. Custom API endpoints are available for integration with Salesforce, Workday, HR platforms, and internal systems — enabling automated store events, reward triggering, and data sync. Development fees apply based on project scope.

Can QuickBrand connect to our HR system?

Yes, today. QuickBrand runs a live REST API and we issue client API keys as part of your setup. Any HR system that can send an outbound request can create store accounts, issue merchandise credit or place orders in QuickBrand automatically.

Do you have a listed app in the Zapier directory?

Not yet - a listed QuickBrand app is in development for early 2027. Today your Zap calls our live API using a client key we issue, reaching the same endpoints a listed app would. The difference is who does the initial setup, and today that's us.

Common Questions

What Companies Use Identity Works For

Identity Works handles the full setup — store architecture, catalog curation, access controls, SSO integration, and PunchOut if needed. Most programs launch within 6–8 weeks. You define the requirements; we build and run the program.
SOC 2 Type 2 is an independent audit that verifies a platform's security controls are not only in place but have operated effectively over a sustained period. Enterprise IT and procurement teams specifically require Type 2 (not just Type 1) before approving any platform vendor. QuickBrand Online Stores is SOC 2 Type 2 certified
Yes. QuickBrand integrates with Okta, Azure Active Directory, and other SAML 2.0-compatible identity providers. Your employees log in with credentials they already have — no new passwords, no separate account.
Identity Works combines three things that most competitors offer separately: a proprietary, SOC 2 Type 2 certified technology platform we built and own; in-house decoration and product expertise; and our own 27,000 square foot fulfillment center. Everything under one roof means programs run tighter, faster, and more accurately than any outside-vendor combination.
Yes. From our Midwest distribution center, most of the US receives orders in 1-3 days via ground service. We handle kitting, custom decoration, individual address fulfillment, and automated reorder triggers. HR teams define the program parameters; we execute every order without manual intervention.
