If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Your ERP doesn't speak Shopify
Orders in one system, production in another, inventory in a spreadsheet. Manual CSV exports holding it all together with duct tape.
Generic tools don't understand decoration
Screen printing isn't retail fulfillment. Embroidery isn't pick-and-pack. Your workflows are different — your software should be too.
Spreadsheets don't scale
The Google Sheet worked at 50 orders a day. At 500, it's a liability. You can't optimise what you can't see.
Order lands in Shopify. Product ships from your floor. One system.

“Blue Monk built exactly what we needed — not what a generic ERP vendor thought we needed. It runs our entire production floor.
This isn't for everyone. And that's the point.
DecoMonk is not a self-serve app you install and forget. Every deployment is scoped, configured, and onboarded by Blue Monk. If you're doing fewer than 50 orders a week, you probably don't need this yet — and we'll tell you that on the call instead of taking your money. This is built for operations that have outgrown their tools, not ones still finding their feet.
Straight answers to the obvious questions
It depends on your operation — store count, order volume, warehouse locations, and what you need integrated. We don't publish a price grid because every deployment is different. Book a discovery call and we'll give you a straight number, not a range.
No, and that's intentional. Production management software needs to match your actual workflows — print methods, fulfilment logic, warehouse layout. We scope and configure every installation. You wouldn't self-serve an ERP any more than you'd self-serve a production line.
Shopify Basic and above. If you need multi-location inventory or advanced reporting, some features may require Shopify Plus — we'll tell you during scoping.
Yes. Multi-warehouse and 3PL support is core, not an add-on. We're running it across AU, US, and EU fulfilment centres right now.
Two to four weeks from kickoff to live production. That covers configuration, data migration, staff training, and a parallel-run period where the old and new systems overlap. We don't rush it — the goal is confidence on day one.
We migrate it as part of onboarding. The system uses an append-only audit trail, so nothing gets overwritten or silently lost. Your historical data comes with you.
It replaces your inventory management, production tracking, and PO tools. Your Shopify theme, payment processing, marketing apps, and everything else stays exactly as-is.
