The numbers
A growing network with measurable outcomes.
The headline metrics every Connect partner reports back to us consistently.
The revenue stacking model
Three layers of revenue. One platform.
Growth stacks in three distinct layers on top of your current business. Each compounds on the last.

Base optimization
GelatoConnect automates procurement, workflow, and logistics across every order your shop produces — recovering the 15 to 20 percent of margin most operations lose to manual errors, overstock, and carrier inefficiency.
- AI-driven procurement and supplier management
- Automated workflow across the production floor
- Up to 40 percent lower shipping cost

The consumer accelerator
Optimalprint is Gelato's direct-to-consumer ecommerce brand serving consumers across Europe and beyond. Fulfillment partners receive Optimalprint orders routed straight into their production queue — high-frequency volume that fills existing capacity.
- Consumer demand without marketing spend on your side
- New revenue without hiring sales
- Onboard and start fulfilling in days

The creator accelerator
GelatoCreate is Gelato's print-on-demand platform powering creators and digital brands worldwide. Fulfillment partners gain access to a steady pipeline of high-margin orders delivered at scale that legacy software cannot route.
- Premium creator orders that lift your average order value
- Cross-border volume without standing up a sales team
- Orders auto-routed to match your equipment and capacity
Who this is for
A short, honest list.
We work best with print operations who:
- Small to mid-sized commercial printers (up to €20M annual revenue)
- Run modern digital presses
- Have invested in modern finishing and production equipment
- Already heavily invested in digital production
- Want to run a modern, software-led operation — ready to scale through software rather than headcount
- Based in North America, Europe, or Oceania
- Produce in our growth categories: cards, apparel, photo books, canvas, framed posters, drinkware, rigid substrates
This is probably not the right fit if:
- Production is offset-only
- You want a demand channel only and have no interest in running your shop on our software
- POD is not a strategic focus of yours
