ERP for the Textile Industry
Lot, shade and size-colour matrices, modelled properly
Textiles break general ERP on two counts: a single style exists as a matrix of sizes and colours rather than one SKU, and dyed fabric carries a shade lot that cannot be mixed across a garment. Systems that model these as attributes rather than as stock identity produce inventory that looks right and cuts wrong. We extend our ERP core to treat them as stock identity.

What goes wrong in textiles & apparel
Size and colour handled as attributes
A style in six sizes and four colours is twenty-four distinct stock positions. Systems that flatten this cannot answer whether an order is actually fulfillable.
Shade lots get mixed
Panels cut from different dye lots produce visible shade variation in a finished garment. Without lot-level segregation this is discovered at final inspection.
Job work dominates but is untracked
Dyeing, printing, embroidery and washing are usually outsourced. Material moves out and back repeatedly, and reconciliation is where fabric goes missing.
Greige to finished conversion is opaque
Shrinkage and process loss between greige and finished metres is real and variable, and rarely measured per process.
What textiles & apparel businesses need from an ERP
Some of these are already in the Orus ERP; others are configured or built for your plant. The feature catalogue shows the current status of every feature, and we confirm the rest on a demo call.
Size-colour matrix
Styles held as a matrix so stock, orders and production are all expressed in the grid a merchandiser actually works in.
Lot and shade management
Dye lots tracked as distinct stock, with cutting restricted to a single shade lot per garment and shade continuity enforced.
Greige to finished tracking
Conversion recorded per process with shrinkage and loss measured rather than assumed.
Multi-stage job work
Fabric moving through dyeing, printing and washing tracked across processors with challans and reconciliation at each stage.
Cut, make and trim costing
CMT cost per style with fabric consumption per size, so costing reflects that a 2XL consumes more than an XS.
Export documentation
Packing lists, invoices and shipping documents in the formats buyers and customs require.

Rules your setup has to handle
The statutory requirements we plan for when scoping a textiles & apparel build. Ask us which are covered by the core today and which are built for you.
We speak your language
Terms we work with when scoping your build.
- Greige
- Unfinished fabric straight off the loom, before dyeing or processing.
- Shade lot
- A dye batch. Panels from different lots show visible variation in a finished garment.
- CMT
- Cut, Make, Trim — the conversion cost of turning fabric into a garment.
- Size-colour matrix
- The grid of every size and colour combination of a style, each a distinct stock position.
Who this is for
- Apparel manufacturers and exporters
- Fabric processors and dyeing houses
- Home textile and made-ups producers
- Units outsourcing dyeing, printing or embroidery at volume
Questions from textiles & apparel buyers
Can it prevent cutting across shade lots?
Yes, as part of your industry build. A cutting order is bound to a shade lot, and drawing fabric from a different lot requires an explicit override with a reason recorded. This is the single most common cause of finished-garment rejection.
Does it handle fabric consumption per size?
Yes, as part of your industry build. Consumption is defined per size in the style master, so costing and material planning both reflect the actual size breakup of an order rather than an average.
What about export incentives?
The system holds the data RoDTEP and drawback claims are built from, and produces the export documentation set. The claim filing itself stays with your CHA or consultant.
