Every December, the internet turns into a blizzard of gift guides.
“Top 10 Gifts for Dog Dads.”
“17 Things for People Who Like Vibes.”
“Stuff You Didn’t Know You Needed but Now Can’t Live Without.”
Cute. Love that for them. But we wanted to do something different. Instead of just sharing things we kinda like, we’re sharing things from brands we actually work with every day — the ones running their businesses on real-deal ERP and back-office systems that we help support.
Welcome to goVirtualOffice’s 12 Days of Customer Shopping: A gift guide where the products are great, the brands are legit, and the operations behind them are… honestly, pretty impressive.
Why Are We Doing a Gift Guide?
(Short Answer: Our Customers Are Awesome)
We see our customers from a different angle than most people do.
You see:
- Cute sun hats
- Bold bags
- Cozy couches
- Cheese boards
- Wine nights
- Nerdy office tools
We see:
- Inventory counts that actually match reality
- Orders flowing without chaos
- Reports that don’t require a three-day scavenger hunt
- Teams that finally escaped spreadsheet prison
So this year, we’re putting all that together and saying:
“Hey, if you’re going to shop anyway… why not support the companies who are doing cool things and getting their operational lives together?”
Every brand in the 12 Days is part of the GVO customer community (or the ecosystem they work in) — trusting smarter systems behind the scenes so your gifts arrive on time, in stock, and not in the wrong color… again.
Run Operations Like the Brands You Love
The companies in our 12 Days list run smoothly because their systems do — and GVO can help your business do the same.
Behind Every Great Gift is a
Slightly Obsessive Back Office
Let’s be honest:
That perfectly packed weekender bag?
That cheese box that shows up cold, intact, and deeply irresistible?
That sun hat that isn’t mysteriously sold out in the one pattern you liked?
None of that is an accident.
Behind the scenes, there’s a whole world of:
- Demand planning (“Will humans still like cheese this year? Yes. Always yes.”)
- Inventory and warehouse coordination
- E-commerce, wholesale, and retail data all talking to each other
- Finance teams who’d really rather not close the month in tears
That’s where goVirtualOffice comes in.
We help companies:
- Upgrade from “random spreadsheets and vibes” to real ERP
- Connect their front-end shopping experience to a solid back-end
- Grow without everyone working 80-hour weeks and living on caffeine
You get your gifts. They get better margins and fewer fires. We get to nerd out on data and workflows. Everyone wins.
A Holiday Love Letter to the GVO Customer Community
Our customers aren’t all from one neat category. They’re:
- Lifestyle and apparel brands
- Furniture and home goods makers
- Food and beverage pros
- Promo and swag wizards
- Dental and automotive tech nerds
- And the behind-the-scenes ingredient and supply people you never see but absolutely rely on
The 12 Days of Customer Shopping is our way of saying:
“Look at what these teams are building. Look how much smoother things run when their systems keep up with their ambitions.”
We’re not the ones making the hats, cheese, or swag. We’re the ones making sure the numbers, workflows, and inventory don’t implode while they do it. And honestly? We’re proud of that.
Upgrade Your Back Office Before It Breaks
If your tools can’t keep up, GVO helps you streamline operations with connected, scalable ERP solutions.
Want Your Business on Next Year’s List?
If you’re reading this as a business leader thinking:
“Our products could totally hang in a gift guide like this…but our systems are stuck in 2009.”
Hi. Hello. You are our people.
Maybe you’re:
- Outgrowing entry-level tools
- Dealing with multiple systems that never talk to each other
- Manually updating spreadsheets like it’s a contact sport
- Watching demand grow faster than your tech stack
That’s exactly where goVirtualOffice shines.
We help growing companies design, implement, and optimize ERP solutions (like NetSuite and friends) so:
- Data flows instead of bottlenecks
- Teams get time back for actual strategy
- Operations can scale without everyone burning out
Next year, your brand could be the one we’re shouting out in a “favorite things” style list.
