Combined with Autoscale, DTG2Go will provide automated solutions for design creation, art & licensing management, and marketing spend, as well as seamless connectivity with various online marketplaces.
“Integrating Autoscale’s innovative technology into our portfolio is a critical part of our strategy to drive enterprise value over the long term by providing an automated, scalable, seamless solution for on-demand, decorated apparel – from design to fulfillment,” said Delta Group President, Deborah H.
