Odoo ERP for Ready-Made Garments
Manage merchandising, procurement, inventory, production, quality, sales, and finance through one connected ERP platform.
From buyer order to shipment, tracked in one ERP
What RMG businesses need from an ERP
The RMG industry involves complex processes across raw materials, production, suppliers, buyers, inventory, quality control, and shipment. Zencore helps RMG businesses connect these processes through Odoo-based ERP implementation.
Common challenges we solve
Buyer orders tracked in spreadsheets
Style, colour, size breakdown and delivery dates sit in merchandisers' Excel files. Changes from buyers do not reach procurement or the floor on time.
Fabric and trims consumption is unclear
Planned consumption per style is not compared with actual issue to cutting. Excess wastage and shortages are found late.
Procurement linked to LC is manual
Back-to-back LC, supplier proforma invoices and import documents are followed up by email. It is hard to see which materials are pending against which order.
Limited visibility on the production floor
Progress through cutting, sewing and finishing is reported on paper at the end of the day. Delays against the shipment date show up too late to recover.
Quality issues recorded inconsistently
Inline and final inspection results are kept on checklists that are not linked to the order. Rework and rejection trends are not analysed.
Order-wise costing is unreliable
Material, labour and overhead costs are not consolidated per order or style. Management cannot see the actual margin until long after shipment.

Each app is configured around your processes and connected to the rest of the system, so data entered once is available everywhere.

From buyer order to shipment
How a typical rmg process runs inside Odoo once everything is connected.
Order
Merchandisers record the confirmed buyer order with style, colour and size breakdown in Sales.
Plan materials
The bill of materials for the style calculates fabric and trims requirements in Manufacturing.
Procure
Purchase raises orders for required materials and tracks them through receipt into Inventory.
Produce
Manufacturing orders move through cutting, sewing and finishing work orders, with quality checks along the way.
Pack and ship
Finished goods are packed and delivered from Inventory against the buyer order and shipment date.
Cost and invoice
Accounting invoices the buyer and compares actual material and production costs per order.
Typical projects
Style-wise BOM and consumption control
Zencore sets up bills of materials per style and reports planned versus actual material consumption.
Merchandising to procurement link
We connect buyer orders to purchase requirements so merchandisers and procurement see the same material status.
LC and import tracking
We customize Odoo to record back-to-back LC details and link them to purchase orders and material receipts.
Order-wise cost reporting
We configure analytic accounting so management can view costs and margin per buyer order or style.
