What is Promotional Office?

The business management software from Sourcing City (Dynamic Image Ltd, Farnborough). Its site describes a CRM, traffic-light progress chasing, quotations, order management, stock management, invoicing, profit reporting and accounting links, for distributors and suppliers.

Does Promotional Office run in a browser?

Its FAQ describes it as cloud based software that is downloaded on a Windows computer or laptop. Zigaflow runs in a web browser on any computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install.

How much does Promotional Office cost?

Its price is not published on promotionaloffice.co.uk or sourcingcity.co.uk. Both direct you to an enquiry form or a call. Zigaflow publishes every plan: Essentials £79, Go £199 and Momentum £399 a month.

Can I use Sourcing City with Zigaflow?

Yes, as a search. Sourcing City is a website for finding products and suppliers, and nothing stops you sourcing there and quoting in Zigaflow. Zigaflow has no direct Sourcing City integration; its supplier feeds come from the suppliers themselves.

Does Promotional Office integrate with Xero?

Yes. Its FAQ lists Xero, Sage and Twinfield, and other packages by CSV import. Zigaflow syncs with Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent.

Sourcing City alternative

If you want a product search, the closest alternatives are other sourcing databases, and Zigaflow connects to Sourcing Machine. If you are replacing Promotional Office, Zigaflow covers quotes, jobs, purchase orders and invoices in the browser, with live UK supplier feeds, from £79 a month.

Zigaflow vs Sourcing City's Promotional Office

Sourcing City is the trade's product search, and its business software, Promotional Office, runs quotes, orders and invoicing for distributors and suppliers. Zigaflow does that job in a web browser on any device, with a published price, a free trial, quote templates you edit yourself and live feeds from the UK suppliers you buy from.

Where Promotional Office asks more of you

Sourcing City is two things: a trade-only sourcing site, and Promotional Office, the business management system sold by the same company. Zigaflow is not a sourcing database, so this page compares it with Promotional Office. Every row was checked against sourcingcity.co.uk and promotionaloffice.co.uk on 22 September 2026. A cross means the capability is not described on those pages, not that we tested the product and found it missing.

A Windows download, not a browser

Promotional Office's FAQ says the software "can be downloaded on any windows computer or laptop". Zigaflow runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install, and it works on a Mac, a Windows PC, a tablet or a phone. Field sign-offs go through the eForms app.

A build project before you start

Promotional Office describes a "build project" leading to "installation", with training on site or in Farnborough. Zigaflow has no implementation project and no setup fee, and every plan includes a free one-hour onboarding session.

No price, and no trial of the software

Neither site publishes a price for Promotional Office, and the two-week trial Sourcing City offers covers the sourcing site, not the software. Zigaflow's plans are on the pricing page, from £79 a month, and every one starts with a 14-day free trial you can sign up for without a sales call.

What a distributor gets from Zigaflow

From enquiry to sent quote in fewer steps

Go and Momentum put live product, price and stock from Midocean, LALTEX, PF Concept, Ralawise and other UK suppliers straight onto the quote line, so there is nothing to look up and retype. A lead becomes a quote in one click, and the quote goes out on your template with your email from the same screen. Start a trial and time a real quote.

Margin on the line while you quote

Every quote line holds the supplier cost beside the sell price, so the margin is visible while you can still change it. The same lines carry through to the job, the purchase order and the invoice.

Quotes that look like your business, edited by you

Zigaflow's PDF templates are Word documents. Take a system template, add your logo, fonts and layout, place the fields where you want them and upload it. Changing a quote layout is a job for your own team, not a request to the software supplier.

Your website, connected

Embed an eForm on your site and each enquiry arrives as a lead. Orders can come in from Shopify, and the REST API, documented in a public Swagger reference, lets a developer create jobs, quotes and contacts from any other system.

Where Sourcing City is genuinely better

As a search, Sourcing City is far wider: on 18 September 2026 it showed 72,278 products with live prices from 74 suppliers on Dynamic Highway. It also runs Merchandise World and Sourcing City News, Promotional Office serves suppliers as well as distributors, and its accounting link reaches Sage and Twinfield, which Zigaflow does not. Plenty of distributors can keep searching on Sourcing City and run the job in Zigaflow.
