To streamline their e-commerce fulfillment processes across all divisions and reduce operational inefficiencies, Nakoma turned to Octasyn. The result: Significant improvements in order processing, shipping accuracy, and customer satisfaction — all without compromising on service, quality, or functionality.
Challenge: As a company managing multiple brands, Nakoma Products faced the challenge of efficiently handling the complex logistics of e-commerce fulfillment across various divisions.

Nakoma was looking for a comprehensive solution that could simplify their shipping processes, provide accurate labeling, and ensure seamless integration with major carriers, all while maintaining transparency and control over their shipping costs.
Solution: Octasyn provided Nakoma Products with a powerful shipping software solution that catered to their unique needs across all their brands. By adopting Octasyn, Nakoma was able to streamline their fulfillment processes, automate key shipping tasks, and maintain the high standard of service they were accustomed to. One of the biggest selling points for the company was customization. With Octasyn, Nakoma doesn't have to rely on third-party services or pre-packaged solutions. Instead, they have the freedom to tailor Octasyn’s fulfillment capabilities to meet their unique needs
Nakoma takes full advantage of Octasyn's features, including automated pick list and packing list generation, Bill of Lading creation, and integration with UPS and FedEx for label printing. Additionally, Octasyn's robust EDI document management ensures that Nakoma can efficiently send purchase order acknowledgments, advance ship notices, and invoices to their customers, all while following their partner’s EDI requirements. And finally, Nakoma takes advantage of Octasyn’s robust pallet-building capabilities, allowing shippers to efficiently organize and label palletized shipments. By automating pallet label generation and ensuring compliance with industry standards, Octasyn streamlines Nakoma’s bulk deliveries, saving time and reducing errors.
Octasyn Serves All Nakoma Brands
Rit Dyes
Rit Dye came to be shortly before World War I, when entrepreneur Charles Huffman began experimenting with fabric dyes for use in the home. His timing was fortuitous as America had just been cut off from its primary source of dyes — Germany. Huffman named his new product Rit in honor of a friend, Louis L. Rittenhouse, who helped the new company financially and became its first vice president. The trademark, Rit, and the slogan “Never Say ‘Dye’… Say Rit!” was registered. Now, more than 100 years later, when creators are looking to refresh their wardrobe, create custom home décor, or revive an old pair of sneakers, they trust Rit Dyes.
The success of Rit Dyes is not just in its product quality but also in the ability to meet consumer demand quickly and efficiently. Octasyn plays a crucial role in this process by ensuring that orders are processed smoothly, shipping labels are printed accurately, and all necessary EDI documents are transmitted promptly to maintain customer satisfaction.
