Fabric consumption vs BOM
Bought by the metre, sold by the set. Actual consumption rarely reconciles with the bill of materials, and nobody knows by how much.
Industry ERP
Fabric in, finished sets out — with every metre and every buyer spec accounted for.
The Industry
Home furnishing is a business of metres and sets. Fabric arrives in rolls, is cut to buyer specs, stitched, packed as sets and shipped to buyers who each want their own labelling and cartons. The gap between fabric consumed and sets shipped is where the margin goes — and where most spreadsheets give up.
Where It Breaks
Bought by the metre, sold by the set. Actual consumption rarely reconciles with the bill of materials, and nobody knows by how much.
Each buyer has its own sizes, labels, packing and barcode requirements. Get one wrong and the shipment is rejected.
New designs are sampled constantly. Cost and status live in email threads and WhatsApp groups.
Stitching in-house and at outside units. Work-in-progress at each stage is an estimate.
Orders bunch before the season. Capacity is planned by instinct, and overtime pays for the difference.
How The System Handles It
Each one answers a problem on the previous list. Take the modules you need; add the rest when the plant is ready.
Roll-wise, metre-wise stock with shade lot. Trims, fillings and packaging tracked alongside.
Per-style BOM with actual consumption captured at cutting. Variance per order, not per year.
Buyer specs, sizes, labels, barcodes and carton rules stored once and applied to every order.
Cutting, stitching, finishing and packing stages, in-house or at job-workers, with WIP at each.
Sample requests, revisions, approvals and cost per sample in one place.
Set-wise packing, carton labels and export documents generated from the order.
In Their Words
Not a case study we wrote — what the client said.
As a growing Home Furnishing company, we needed a system that could manage all our operations from one place. ERPidex gave us that visibility and make data-backed decisions.
Questions We Get
If yours is not here, ask it — we would rather answer than guess.
Yes. Each roll is stocked with its metres, width and shade lot. Issues to cutting are recorded against the roll, so you know exactly which rolls went into which order and what was left.
Buyer requirements — sizes, label formats, barcodes, carton specs, packing ratios — are stored against the buyer once. Every new order for that buyer inherits them, and the packing screen enforces them.
Sample requests are tracked from buyer brief through revisions to approval, with cost captured per sample. When a sample becomes an order, its BOM and specs carry across.
Job-work issue and receipt are built in: what went out, to whom, what came back, and what is outstanding. The same view covers in-house stages, so WIP is one picture.
