Book a DemoMany stages, many hands, one record
A textile product often passes through several stages: spinning, weaving or knitting, dyeing, printing and stitching. Many of these stages happen at job workers outside your own unit. Keeping track of material at each stage is hard.
ERPNext records what you send, what comes back and what is lost at every stage. Designs, colours and sizes are handled as variants, and agents get their commission calculated on each sale.
Common problems we see
- Fabric lost or unaccounted for at job workers
- Hundreds of designs, colours and sizes to manage
- Stock tracked in metres, kg and pieces at different stages
- Agent and broker commission worked out by hand
- No clear view of stock lying at each processor
How ERPNext helps textiles businesses
Standard ERPNext features, set up for the way your industry works.
Size, colour and design variants
Create one template per style and let ERPNext generate variants for every size and colour. Reports can be grouped by style or by variant.
Roll and lot tracking
Track each roll or lot with its own batch number, length or weight. Pick exact rolls when you dispatch.
Job work
Send yarn or fabric to processors and receive it back with records of quantity sent, received and wasted. GST job work rules are supported.
Multiple units
Buy yarn in kg, sell fabric in metres and garments in pieces. Conversions stay correct throughout.
Agent commission
Set up agents as sales partners with a commission rate. ERPNext calculates commission on each invoice.
Production planning
Plan production from sales orders and see the material needed at each stage before you start.
