What is Textiles & Apparel ERP?

WebSoftOS Textiles & Apparel ERP is a cloud ERP for garment manufacturers, uniform makers and fabric and apparel traders. It handles fabric and trims purchase, size and colour variants, bills of material, stage-wise production on the floor, piece-rate wages, bulk orders and counter POS, with GST accounting from the same system. It is built on ERPNext Manufacturing and quoted by business size, so price is on request.

Why switch

What changes with Textiles & Apparel ERP

Today

Fabric and trims are issued without a bill of material, so consumption per garment is guessed and wastage is hidden.

With WebSoftOS

Each style has a bill of material per size, and material is issued from it against a work order, so consumption and wastage are visible.

Today

The floor does not know which stage a lot is in, and customers keep calling to ask.

With WebSoftOS

Each work order carries a stage and the floor board shows every lot with its stage and quantity, so nobody has to ask.

Today

Every size and colour is a separate item in a register, so ready stock is hard to count.

With WebSoftOS

Sizes and colours are variants of one style, with stock, barcode and price for each, so ready stock counts itself.

Today

Piece-rate wages are worked out from paper slips at month end, and disputes follow.

With WebSoftOS

Wages are calculated from the garments produced and flow into payroll with PF, ESI and professional tax.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Textiles & Apparel ERP cost?

It is quoted by the size of the business: users, outlets and modules. Use the contact form and we will reply with a quote and a demo of the floor board and POS.

Can I manage sizes and colours without creating hundreds of items?

Yes. A style is one item with variants for size and colour, each variant with its own stock, barcode and price.

Can I see which stage each lot is in?

Yes. Each work order carries a stage, and the floor board shows every lot with its current stage and quantity.

Does it handle piece-rate wages?

Yes. Wages can be calculated from the garments produced and flow into payroll, with PF, ESI and professional tax.

Does it cover spinning, weaving or dyeing mills?

Not as dedicated screens today. The module is built for garment making and trading. Process-industry steps for mills can be modelled with ERPNext Manufacturing, and we can scope that for you.

Can the same system run a retail counter?

Yes. A POS runs ready garments and accessories at the counter against the showroom stock, with GST bills.
