Certified diverse-owned businesses, we are looking for you
Succinctive is a WBENC certified woman-owned business. A large share of our work is Tier 2 supplier diversity spend on Fortune 100 programs, and our clients track where every dollar goes.
When you hold a certification such as WBENC, NMSDC, VOSB, NGLCC, Disability:IN, HUBZone or 8(a), we route qualifying work to you and report your spend to our clients so you get credit for it.
Not certified yet? Apply anyway and tell us. We can point you to the right certifying body.
What you get
Repeat programs
Our clients run recurring merch, uniform and kitting programs, not one-off orders.
Complete purchase orders
Every PO includes final art, approved proofs, quantities by size and color, ship-to addresses and in-hands dates.
One point of contact
Quotes get a yes or no, and you always know who to call.
Paid on agreed terms
Preferred vendor status
Vendors who deliver get first look at new programs and a growing share of our spend.
Tier 2 reporting
If you are a certified diverse business, we make sure your work gets counted in our clients' supplier diversity reports.
Our standards
We hold vendors to the same standard our clients hold us to.
