Instead of Launchmetrics Samples
Stop renting Launchmetrics Samples. Own your sample circulation desk.
We build your sample desk around your collections, recipients and loan rules. Enterprise DNA maps the available Launchmetrics exports, reconciles outstanding pieces and runs your version for you.
Launchmetrics lists global Starter packages from €780 a month. Its Korea site separately lists Essentials from €1,550 a month, billed annually. These are regional package prices, not a Samples-only quote for your business.

Read the whole package
A sample cupboard sits inside a much larger software bill
Compare the package on your invoice with the work you need to keep. Launchmetrics’ global and regional offers have different scope. The owned desk covers physical sample circulation; price the wider services separately.
The global starting package
Launchmetrics advertises Starter from €780 a month. Twelve months at that rate is €9,360. Confirm which products, markets and terms your quote includes.
The regional package benchmark
The Korea pricing page lists Essentials from €1,550 a month, billed annually: €18,600 over twelve months. It describes up to two modules and three included seats, not a standalone Samples tariff.
Seats and modules
The regional Essentials offer makes extra seats and module access available. A wider package is different from a sample-only desk, so compare the exact items on your agreement.
The physical piece record
Launchmetrics Samples tracks individual pieces, their locations, loans and reservations. Those are the records this owned desk is built to manage.
The wider brand services
Launchmetrics also offers monitoring and brand performance services. Keep the services your team needs and assess the sample circulation work on its own.
Your way of running the cupboard
The free desk lets you change collection names, custody rules, review questions and documents. Enterprise DNA can build your version around the language your team already uses.

Ten questions to ask your own sample desk
These questions run against the free demonstration records today. Adapt them to your collection and your way of working.
Switching
How to switch from Launchmetrics Samples
In practice, the move is an export, a field-mapping and reconciliation exercise, followed by a short period of running both desks before you switch.
- 1
Export your records
Start with an inventory export from Launchmetrics Samples. Export recipient and loan records too if your account allows it, and check with Launchmetrics about the available export options. CSV or Excel may be available, but the standard export headings are not confirmed. Keep the original exports unchanged so you can compare them with the records you load.
- 2
Map and load inventory
Match the headings in your inventory export to the fields in the new desk, then run its test import before loading the records. The free importer brings in inventory, not a complete circulation history. If you have Enterprise DNA run the move, it can map other records available from your account and check the result.
- 3
Reconcile flagged records
Review the import results and resolve anything flagged before relying on the new records. Imported samples are held until you confirm their physical locations and outstanding loans. Inventory status alone does not establish current or historical loans, agreements or availability, so check those details against your records and enter or reconcile them before treating a sample as ready.
- 4
Run both desks together
Keep Launchmetrics Samples running while your team uses the new desk for a short period. Check that upcoming reservations, handovers and returns are recorded correctly, and compare the new desk's records with what is physically in the cupboard and still out on loan. Fix gaps or unclear field mappings before making the new desk your team's working record.
- 5
Switch off Launchmetrics
Switch off Launchmetrics Samples only after the team has checked the records it needs, reconciled outstanding custody and is comfortable handling new reservations and returns in the new desk. Keep any Launchmetrics services you still rely on, such as media monitoring, separate from this decision. Save the exports and migration checks with your business records.
Where the real effort goes
Most of the work is mapping your own fields and circulation rules, then deciding how much recipient and loan history to bring across. The free importer does not infer loans, agreements or availability from an inventory list. Enterprise DNA handles the mapping of available records and checks the result when you have them run the move.

Questions
Instead of Launchmetrics Samples, answered
Is this a replacement for everything in Launchmetrics? expand_more
This is a sample circulation desk for reservations, press loans, returns and stocktakes. Launchmetrics also sells media monitoring and brand performance services. Keep those services where they matter; Enterprise DNA can connect them to your version. The package figures above are not a claim that every package costs the same as Samples alone.
Can we bring our current samples and loan history across? expand_more
The free version imports an inventory export after its headings are mapped. It holds each new piece until you reconcile its physical location and outstanding loans. It does not infer loan history, agreements or availability from an inventory list. Enterprise DNA maps the other records available from your account and checks the result before the team switches.
We use phones, photographs and scanners. Can our version keep those? expand_more
Yes. Enterprise DNA can build the screens, photo handling and scanning connections your team needs around the owned database. We scope them against the devices and daily handovers you actually use.
How does this compare with another sample service such as Flaunter? expand_more
Flaunter also offers sample tracking and digital showrooms. Compare the way your team receives requests and works with external stylists. The owned desk gives you custody records and rules you can change; Enterprise DNA builds the connections and request experience agreed for your version.
What does Enterprise DNA charge, and who owns the records? expand_more
There is one setup fee, then a retainer for the agreed ongoing work. You own your database and the free software is open source. Hosting, agent subscriptions and any retained specialist services have their own costs. The call establishes the migration, access, screens and support your business needs.
Bring the sample bill and the overdue list to Sam
Spend 30 minutes with Sam. Bring your Launchmetrics package, a sample inventory export and the work that keeps coming back each week. We will identify what your own sample desk needs, what must be mapped and which specialist services should stay.
