CustomKit: My, how they've grown.?
We recently flew to Riga, Latvia, to spend time with Brikl merchant CustomKit's CEO Martins Vindedzis and his team to hear all about his experience with Brikl.?
"Brikl has helped us add value across our business," Martins comments, "And not just in terms of sales. Jason's [Brikl's Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder] help and advice have helped us look at what we can do in a brand new way, and this perspective alone helped us scale beyond what we thought was possible. Brikl's scaling too, and we're with them every step of the way."

Why? Because upgrading operations, digital transformation, or digital process automation, whatever you want to call it, is a daunting and sizeable task that many companies don’t want to undertake until the bell tolls.
This could be too late for many businesses seeking to remain competitive in a digital-first world.?

Custom and promotional businesses and teamwear companies often rely on legacy technology that hasn't been updated for years, even decades. It's time to bin those old sneakers and reach for a jetpack.
