Company Store Planning
Bighorn can scope a proposed online storefront around your apparel program. The platform, catalog, users, payment, production, inventory, shipping, reporting, fees, and administrative responsibilities require written confirmation.
A company store is a private online storefront where employees order approved, company-branded apparel from a catalog the employer controls.
Employees sign in, choose from the approved items and sizes, and order within the rules the employer sets, such as roles, budgets, or approvals. Bighorn Threads can scope a proposed store with Las Vegas account support. The catalog, users, access, budgets, payment, production, inventory, shipping, reporting, and support remain conditional until the selected platform and operating terms are verified.
How It Works
We can scope the requirements. The proposal must verify the platform, responsibilities, costs, and acceptance tests before launch.
Document the proposed logo, colors, products, URL, users, access rules, and substitutions.
Confirm which enrollment, invitation, import, and access options the selected platform supports.
Test the proposed catalog, roles, limits, payment, approvals, and notifications before launch.
Document responsibility for inventory, decoration, production, shipping, returns, changes, and user support.
Review the fee schedule, responsibilities, reports, acceptance tests, and launch conditions in writing.
Who It's For
These examples are discovery starting points. They do not represent active customer stores or guaranteed platform features.
50+ employees, multiple job sites
A company store centralizes requests across crews. User access, approvals, fulfillment, and support must be verified before launch. See our company store for contractors in Las Vegas for GC-specific setup details.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical techs
A service-trade store is built around role-based starter kits. Enrollment, approval, production, delivery, and timing requirements must be confirmed before launch.
Henderson, Vegas, Pahrump
One company store organizes role-based catalogs for multiple yards. Access, products, payment, fulfillment, and administrative responsibilities are defined in the program specification.
Role-based uniforms for crews and staff
A uniform-focused store can hold each role's approved custom uniforms, sizes, and replacement rules. Protective items, reorder cadence, and inventory responsibility must be verified before launch. See uniform program cost per employee for budgeting.
What You Get
Company-store capabilities vary by configuration. The proposal lists the included features, limits, third-party costs, and responsibilities.
Scope the URL, logo, colors, catalog, and user experience for the selected store configuration.
Define the available catalog, roles, approvals, and spending rules supported by the selected configuration.
Allowance or credit features can be evaluated and included when supported by the selected platform.
Confirm supported destinations, address entry, split shipments, notifications, timing, and charges in the fulfillment terms.
Identify the order, user, budget, product, and finance reporting available in the selected configuration.
Document whether products are pre-purchased, batched, held, or produced per order, and who carries each inventory risk.
Pricing
Your proposal should separate products, decoration, setup, platform, users, payment processing, fulfillment, shipping, support, and any third-party costs.Approve the complete fee schedule before the store goes live.

Planning Examples
Three example configurations to discuss during discovery. Final capabilities and terms depend on the approved program.
General ContractorA contractor could use a store to present an approved catalog and annual allowance. User eligibility, balance rules, payment, reporting, inventory, and fulfillment would need to be verified in the selected configuration.
General ContractorA multi-location contractor could use one approved catalog with role or location rules. Service areas, shipping destinations, invoicing, production, and administrative responsibilities would be confirmed in the proposal.
Electrical ContractorAn electrical contractor could configure a restricted catalog for a seasonal intern program. Enrollment, sizes, approvals, payment, production, delivery destinations, and deadlines would be documented before launch.
The Buyer's Guide
A company store is one possible online ordering model for an apparel program. Its catalog, users, budgets, approvals, payment, inventory, production, fulfillment, reporting, and administration depend on the selected platform and written terms.
Discovery starts with roles, ordering needs, brand standards, proposed products, locations, and target dates. Bighorn can then scope a proposal and request production terms from partners. Employers remain responsible for protective-apparel selection and approval.
Allowances can be useful when the selected platform supports them. Define who receives a balance, when it renews, which products are eligible, who pays overages, and what administrators can review. A similar ruleset can support branded onboarding kits, replacement gear, milestone awards, or project-specific apparel.
Larger teams may need user provisioning, role-based access, HR data exchange, or coordination with a laundry provider. These are separate integration and operating requirements, not assumed store features. The proposal must identify the system of record, supported data flow, security responsibilities, and acceptance tests before implementation.
Reporting requirements should be defined before the store is approved. Ask for sample reports covering the fields your finance and operations teams need, along with export format, cadence, access, retention, and any additional cost. Setup and recurring fees are confirmed in the written proposal.
