As you may know, two major blank apparel supplier consolidations and acquisitions took place recently. S&S consolidated it’s EVA and Americana Sportswear brands, while alphabroder acquired Bodek and Rhodes.
What does this mean?
EVA and Americana product feeds are no longer offered in InkSoft. EVA and Americana products can be accessed through the S&S supplier catalog. The current Bodek and Rhodes catalog will be disabled on Friday, June 10th, 2016. Moving forward, Bodek and Rhodes products can be imported with the alphabroder supplier catalog. Additionally, on June 13th, 2016, Bodek and Rhodes will no longer accept orders. If you wish to order products from this manufacturer, you must do so with alphabroder directly. If you do not already have an account with alphabroder, you can apply for an account by visiting www.alphabroder.com or by contacting customer service at 1-800-523-4585.
We encourage you to visit Bodek and Rhodes FAQ page regarding the continued integration effort, which will answer questions you may have about Shipping + Delivery, Pricing + Credit, Product Availability and more.
How will this impact your current EVA Sportswear, Americana Sportswear and Bodek and Rhodes products in InkSoft?
We recommend that you filter for EVA and Americana products within the S&S Activewear catalog and filter for Bodek and Rhodes products within the alphabroder catalog.

does this mean that all the bodek and rhodes products on my website will go away?
No!! Your products will be untouched. Please note that Bodek & Rhodes won’t be accepting orders after 6/13 so be sure you can source the same product via alphabroder — which should be the case.
do you offer Heritage sportswear? we use them for about 80% of all our t-shirt orders.
