ApparelOS - Garment Factory Management ERP

ApparelOS is a complete garment factory management ERP built for apparel manufacturers who still run their factory on spreadsheets, paper registers and disconnected software. If you manage a garment or RMG factory and lose track of orders, fabric, production and payments across a dozen Excel files, ApparelOS puts the entire factory into one system — from the first buyer inquiry to the final shipment and payment.

MERCHANDISING & ORDERS — Buyers, orders, styles, tech packs, samples and time-and-action (T&A) plans. Cost any style before the order is confirmed, build the BOM, and track every milestone; late tasks flag themselves with reason codes and overdue alerts on the dashboard.

PLANNING & PRODUCTION — A visual planning board schedules orders across your lines with drag-and-drop, using each style's SMV and each line's manpower, hours and efficiency — overloaded lines turn red before they become a problem. Daily cutting, sewing, finishing and packing entries, bundles with QR-code tickets your floor staff scan with a phone, defect and DHU tracking, work-in-progress (WIP) balances for every order, and subcontract (job work) tracking for embroidery, printing and washing sent outside.

MATERIALS THAT NEVER GO MISSING — Fabric and trims store with GRN, order-linked issues and returns, multi-warehouse transfers and stock valuation. A dynamic MRP recalculates what you need from the live production plan, and multi-level BOMs explode fabric down to yarn, dye and chemicals. Every order shows its full materials position: needed vs ordered vs received vs issued vs leftover.

COMMERCIAL & L/C — Master and back-to-back L/C tracking with banks, expiry dates and live utilisation, commercial invoices, packing lists and shipments. The buyer ledger answers "who owes us how much" in one click, and an order trace view follows every order from fibre to shipment on a single screen.

HR & PAYROLL DONE PROPERLY — Employees, attendance, leave, overtime and staff loans, with a full payroll that follows the real salary structure: house rent, medical, conveyance and food allowances, overtime merged in, loan instalments deducted, and printable payslips.

ACCOUNTS YOU CAN TRUST — Double-entry vouchers, chart of accounts, ledgers, trial balance and expenses, plus an order profitability report that shows margin per order: revenue vs budgeted cost vs actual material cost.

QUALITY & COMPLIANCE — Fabric, inline and end-line inspections with AQL, defect categories, licences, audits, corrective actions and grievance records — the paperwork your buyers' compliance teams ask for.

REPORTS & INSIGHT — A reports hub with WIP, capacity forecast (next month's load vs line capacity, before you over-commit), cost-variance reports and CSV export — plus a built-in AI assistant that knows which screen you are on and guides you step by step, a global search across orders, buyers, styles, items, employees, suppliers, POs and invoices, and a full audit log of who changed what. 12 modules, 142 pages, 75 database tables, 229 automated tests, and an optional demo dataset so you can explore a working factory from minute one.

Create a MySQL database and import via the built-in installer or run the included migrations. 3. Copy .env.example to .env and set your database credentials. 4. Open the site — a first-run setup screen lets you create your own admin account, then takes you straight to the dashboard. A complete user manual (USER-MANUAL) is included in the package.
