Many styles, materials, trims, delivery dates, multiple warehouses, national and international suppliers... Keeping track of parts, details, and workflows in apparel and fashion manufacturing can be overwhelming without a fashion-specific software like the Microsoft Dynamics NAV-based solution TRIMIT Fashion.
Fashion Manufacturing Example
The illustration below shows a highly simplified example of what goes into fashion manufacturing. It shows a shirt's parts and that there can be multiple suppliers for the parts, and everything has to come together in order to produce the final shirt.

Please note that this example is only for one single style. Most apparel and fashion companies produce and sell multiple styles in various colors, sizes, and collections.

TRIMIT Fashion based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV
With TRIMIT Fashion, companies can optimize and streamline their business processes since all data is stored, managed, and shared via a single software system.
Optimize Fashion Manufacturing
TRIMIT Fashion provides companies with a direct view into i.e. all stages of a specific style, how long production takes, how much it costs, how well it sells, if and why it is returned etc. by efficiently tying together the following functions:
- PDM (Product Data Management)
- Sales
- MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
- Purchase
- Receiving
- Picking
- Invoicing
- Claims & Service
- Finance & Accounting
- Reporting
If for instance a designer makes and submits a minor correction to a style, the change is immediately updated in the system. If more or less of a material is needed or another button that costs more than what was previously used, this is automatically calculated in the system.
