Sampling to dispatch, with the approval history, the shade lot and the wash recipe still attached.
Textile is a business of stages, and money leaks between them. A sample approved over email. A shade lot mixed at cutting. A wash recipe in a supervisor's head.
Essence ERP gives every stage an owner, a timestamp, a quality gate and, where it matters, a photograph. History becomes a screen, not an investigation.
On screen
Every order from sampling to dispatch, with delivery risk visible early
Textile & Fashion ERP
What makes this sector hard
These are the failure points behind almost every conversation we have in this sector. A general-purpose ERP solves none of them on its own.
- 01
Approvals lost in an inbox
Buyers, designers and QA iterate over email and WhatsApp. Nothing records which version was approved, or against which specification.
- 02
Shade lots that must not meet
Lots that cannot be mixed, and usable yield after four-point inspection that rarely matches the invoice.
- 03
Every buyer, a different rulebook
Size ratios, packing method, labelling, shipping marks, quality standard: all buyer-specific, all expensive to get wrong.
- 04
Wastage found a season too late
Fabric is the largest cost line, yet consumption is reconciled once the season is over.
- 05
Export paperwork built by hand
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, customs documents. Every shipment, against a cut-off.
What ships in the Textile & Garments configuration
Present the first time you open the system, not raised as a change request three months after go-live.
- 01Proto-to-PP sampling with photos and approval routing
- 02Roll-wise receipt, four-point inspection, shade segregation enforced
- 03Lay and marker: planned against actual consumption
- 04Bundle tickets scanned across the sewing floor
- 05Hourly line output against target, operator-wise
- 06Versioned wash recipes: chemical, dosing, temperature, cycle
- 07Fabric, in-line, end-line and final AQL, defects attributed
- 08Buyer-wise packing, cartons and shipping marks generated
- 09Invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, auto-generated
- 10Buyer portal: order status, sample review, shipment documents
What clients measure afterwards
