SIDEBAR SUITE / REPORTING & INVOICE
See What Matters,
When It Matters
Whether you’re running an Awards Program, B2B Store, Company Store, or all of the above, you’ll always have eyes on what’s important.
Sidebar Suite Dashboards
The details your team cares about, in one view.
- Track every award from notification to delivery.
- Check who has spend funds and how much.
- Know who has yet to accept their award.
Custom Reporting
Tailored to your program and needs.
- Full inventory reports sent straight to your inbox.
- Metrics that matter, delivered by spreadsheet.
One Month-End Task
Instead of Forty
Companies that purchase across departments and locations usually end up with invoices arriving from everywhere, coded by hand and reconciled late. When everything runs through Sidebar, the month-end close stops being a fire drill.
- Consolidated Invoices: One invoice that covers everything, for qualifying accounts.
- Billing by Cost Center: If your budget works that way, we’ll break out charges so each department sees its own line.
USE CASES
What People Actually Look At
Different departments open Sidebar Suite reports for different reasons. The win is all of them open it themselves.
Budget Tracking
See what a department or a site has spent against what it was given, in the middle of the quarter rather than after it closed.
Program Performance
Redemption rates, participation, what's being chosen and what's being ignored. Useful for defending a recognition budget to somebody who's asking about it.
Inventory
Your dedicated account strategist monitors your inventory levels and lets you know when something is running low on stock.
Month-End Close
One invoice with everything coded, or separate invoices by entity if that's how your books work. Your accounting team decides the format, not us.
TESTIMONIALS
The Headaches That No Longer Happen
From the people in finance and operations who have to reconcile all of it.
One of the greatest examples of our partnership is the award platform Sidebar helped build for our employees. This turnkey solution automates the rewards process from beginning to end, sending reminders to leaders, congratulatory notifications to recipients, and allowing employees to make their reward selections. What could otherwise be a complicated, time-consuming process has become seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on what matters most: recognizing and rewarding the incredible people who make Swift successful.
Sidebar has also partnered with us to develop two distinct online storefronts: our Company Store, where employees can shop for Swift-branded merchandise, and our B2B corporate ordering site, which allows leaders to purchase the items they need to support their operational needs. These platforms serve very different purposes, yet both play an important role in supporting our employees, strengthening our brand, and keeping our operations moving forward.

Sidebar has been a true partner to Butler Plus. When we moved our PPE and swag ordering from domestic to international sourcing, the Sidebar team made the transition seamless. We have continued to receive full transparency, quick responses, and a complete understanding of our needs, and that consistency is exactly why we keep coming back.

Everyone thinks they can figure it out themselves, and maybe you can. But why spend years making expensive mistakes when the knowledge, relationships and experience already exist? The service Sidebar offers is second to none. It gives you access to the kind of knowledge most people spend years trying to acquire. Sidebar is the hack you wish existed when you started. And it does. Do yourself a favor. Go with Sidebar.

We have worked with Sidebar for approximately four years, and throughout that time, they have consistently provided excellent products and outstanding service. What I appreciate most is that Sidebar is a true partner. They help us find solutions, and even when we are not entirely sure what we need, they know us well enough to offer consistently spot-on ideas and recommendations.
Sidebar is quick to respond, quick to deliver, and deeply committed to quality. Because they hold their products to such a high standard, they take quality control seriously, and that is something we value immensely. They meet us where we are, understand our needs, and make the entire process easy and collaborative. We are grateful to have Sidebar as a trusted partner.

SIDEBAR is top notch when it comes to quality, turnaround times, and price. They have been our go-to business for all our marketing and swag needs from small giveaway trinkets to fully customizable projects like clothing items, hats, and large metal display units for our products. They do it all. They also offer a full website service to make the ordering, inventory updates, and drop-shipping process so easy to manage. Their customer service and communication is the absolute best. No matter what time of day it is, they are always available. Thank you guys and we love working with you!

I reached out to Sidebar for customized products for my company, and they quickly provided mockups featuring our logo so I could easily envision the finished product. Once I made my selections, the entire process was smooth from start to finish, and everything arrived ahead of schedule—making my life completely stress-free.
