Textile & Apparel Manufacturing
Weave efficiency into every thread of your textile operations.
Textile manufacturers face unique challenges: managing fabric variants by weight, color, and weave; tracking production across dyeing, cutting, and stitching stages; and coordinating with global buyers on strict delivery timelines. Our Odoo ERP implementations bring order to your production floor, automate quality inspections, and give you real-time visibility into capacity, costs, and delivery schedules.
Challenges in Textile & Apparel Manufacturing
These are the operational hurdles we help textile & apparel manufacturing businesses overcome every day.
Complex Variant Management
Fabrics come in hundreds of combinations — weight, color, weave, width. Without structured variant tracking, you lose visibility and overstock the wrong SKUs.
Production Floor Chaos
Multi-stage production (dyeing, cutting, stitching, finishing) with different lead times per stage makes scheduling a nightmare without proper MRP.
Quality Inconsistency
Color matching, shrinkage testing, and tensile strength checks are critical. Manual QC logs lead to missed defects and costly returns from buyers.
Buyer Compliance
International buyers demand specific labeling, packaging, and documentation standards. Missing compliance requirements delays shipments and risks losing accounts.
How We Help Textile & Apparel Manufacturing Businesses
Purpose-built ERP modules and custom solutions that address your industry-specific needs.
Fabric Variant Matrix
Manage thousands of fabric combinations with structured attributes (color, weight, width, weave). Auto-generate SKUs and track inventory at the variant level.
Multi-Stage Production Planning
Plan and track production across dyeing, cutting, stitching, and finishing stages with capacity-aware scheduling and bottleneck detection.
Automated Quality Inspections
Define quality parameters per product type. Inspectors log results on tablets, triggering automated rework orders or rejection workflows on failures.
Buyer Portal & Compliance
Give buyers real-time order status visibility. Auto-generate packing lists, shipping documents, and compliance certificates per buyer requirements.
Costing & Margin Analysis
Track actual costs per production order — materials, labor, overhead — and compare against quoted prices to protect margins.
Subcontractor Management
Manage outsourced processes (embroidery, printing, washing) with subcontractor work orders, material issuance tracking, and return reconciliation.
Key Modules & Tools
Our Implementation Process
Process Mapping
Document your full production workflow — from yarn/fabric receipt through each manufacturing stage to finished goods dispatch and buyer delivery.
System Configuration
Set up product variants, multi-level BOMs, work centers with capacity constraints, quality parameters, and buyer-specific compliance rules.
Floor Integration
Deploy tablets at work centers for real-time production logging. Connect barcode scanners and integrate with existing CAD/CAM cutting systems.
Go-Live & Optimization
Staged rollout starting with inventory and purchasing, then production, then quality. Continuous optimization based on real production data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the system handle made-to-order production with custom specs per buyer?
Absolutely. Each sales order can have unique specifications (color, fabric, size run) that flow through to production orders with buyer-specific BOMs and quality parameters.
How do you handle roll-based inventory for fabrics?
We configure inventory tracking at the roll level with attributes for length, width, and quality grade. Cutting plans consume from specific rolls with automatic remnant tracking.
Do you support garment costing with multiple cost centers?
Yes. We set up cost centers for each production stage and allocate labor, overhead, and material costs per work order. You get actual vs. estimated cost reports per production run.
