When you manufacture apparel, you need an approach that makes the process from designing a concept to shipping a completed product streamlined. Apparel ERP software is the answer to this issue. This software is a suite that offers an integrated approach to every step of the process in creating a finished product for customers. With this type of software, you can do everything from creating concepts to billing customers, and then manage inventory and create shipping labels.
Because of this multifaceted approach, your business will be more productive. Integrated software means that you do not have to worry about importing information between different programs that may not be completely compatible with one another. This adds extra steps in the manufacturing process that costs time, and time equals money. Instead, when you use ERP software, each step in the manufacturing process moves smoothly.
How the process of manufacturing clothing works with ERP software:
• The customer creates and submits a proof.
• This proof is uploaded into your system for you to edit.
• Once editing is complete and an order made, it submits the purchase.
• Inventory management keeps track of the inventory used.
• A shipping label is printed, and the package readied for pickup.
With everything streamlined, you can get products to your customers faster. This means increased profits, since your employees will spend less time on each step in the ordering process and more time readying products. Happy customers turn into repeat customers, and often bring in more business, with much thanks being to an integrated ordering system.
