Sales Management for Textile & Apparel
In textiles, the color-size variant matrix, the collection calendar and fabric consumption require functions to see stock and cost variant by variant. Run the sales process from quote to invoice on one platform. A sales process integrated with CRM and marketing, quote and invoice management, order tracking and reporting are all in the same system.
Textile & Apparel context
Why Sales Management works differently in Textile & Apparel
In Textile & Apparel, textile and apparel processes center on sector-specific concepts such as color-size variant matrix, collection planning, fabric consumption. In textiles, the color-size variant matrix, the collection calendar and fabric consumption require functions to see stock and cost variant by variant.
Qera ERP's Sales Management module is set up around how the textile & apparel sector works: Runs quoting, ordering and pricing from a single screen over the color-size variant matrix.
- When color, size and pattern variants can't be managed under one product code, stock and order tracking gets tangled.
- When collection and season planning don't match production capacity, delivery commitments are at risk.
- When fabric, accessory and subcontract consumption isn't tracked clearly, the true product cost is unknown.
