Garment ERP Software for Knitwear Exporters and Job-Work Units
We build garment ERP software for knitwear exporters, domestic brands and job-work units, shaped around the way an order actually moves: enquiry, costing, buyer PO, yarn, knitting, dyeing, compacting, cutting, stitching, checking, packing and shipment. Our team is in Arulpuram, Tiruppur, so we know that most of this happens across several outside units rather than under one roof.
The hard part is rarely the software screens. It is knowing how many kilos of yarn went to the knitter, how much grey fabric came back, what the dyer returned after process loss, and whether this style is still making money. Spreadsheets and WhatsApp messages can hold that for a few orders, but not for a full season.
We start with your real order flow and your existing costing sheets, DC books and registers, then build only what your merchandisers, stores, production supervisors and accounts team will use every day. Most units begin with one module, such as job-work tracking, and add the rest once staff trust the numbers.
Who Garment ERP is for
Knitwear and garment exporters
Export houses handling several buyers and styles at once, who need order-wise yarn and fabric tracking, TNA follow-up and style-wise costing against actual spend before the shipment leaves.
Domestic brands and private-label makers
Manufacturers supplying their own brand or large retailers, who need apparel ERP software with size-colour matrices, finished-goods stock, dispatch against orders and GST invoicing in one place.
Job-work units
Knitting, stitching, printing, embroidery and checking units that work for many principals and need clean inward and outward DCs, party-wise balances and job-work billing.
Fabric processors
Dyeing, bleaching, compacting and raising units that receive fabric by lot, return it after processing and must account for weight loss, rework and processing charges per party.
Features we build
Enquiry, costing sheet and order booking
Build a costing sheet per style with yarn count, GSM, fabric consumption, process rates, trims, CMT and overheads, so this module works as garment costing software on its own. Once the buyer confirms, the costing becomes the order budget with PO, style, colour and size breakdown.
Yarn purchase and fabric planning
Calculate yarn requirement from order quantity and consumption, raise purchase orders to spinners or agents, record lot-wise receipts and allocate yarn to specific orders so stock is never double-counted.
Job-work DC tracking, inward and outward
Issue delivery challans to knitters, dyers, compacting and printing units, then receive goods back against the same DC. See pending balances by party, lot and process, including partial and rejected returns.
Process-wise wastage and shortage
Record kilos and pieces at every stage: yarn to grey fabric, grey to dyed, dyed to compacted, fabric to cut panels, panels to finished garments. Losses beyond your agreed norms are flagged per process and per supplier.
Cutting, stitching, checking and packing
Track cut quantities by bundle, stitching output by line or contractor, checking passes and alterations, ironing and packing into cartons with size ratios, so the packing list builds itself from actual counts.
TNA calendar and order follow-up
Set time-and-action milestones per order from the shipment date backwards: lab dips, yarn in-house, fabric ready, cutting start, inspection and ex-factory. Merchandisers see what is late today, not after the delay has spread.
Piece-rate wages and contractor payments
Capture piece-rate production against workers or contract teams, calculate weekly wages, and keep job-work bills with GST separate from payroll. Rates can vary by style, operation and contractor.
Costing vs actual, GST and mobile updates
Compare budgeted and actual cost per style and buyer, generate GST invoices and export documents such as invoices and packing lists, and let supervisors update production from a phone on the floor.

Frequently asked questions
What does garment ERP software cost?
A single module such as job-work DC tracking usually costs ₹90,000–2.5 lakh. A production ERP covering orders, yarn, job work, cutting to packing and wages is typically ₹2.5–6 lakh. Multi-unit exporters with detailed costing and export documents should budget ₹6–15 lakh. We quote a fixed price per phase after visiting your unit and seeing your formats.
Why not buy a ready-made garment ERP?
Ready-made garment ERP software works well if your process matches its design. Many Tiruppur units find that job work, mixed piece-rate and salary staff, or their own costing format do not fit, and staff go back to Excel. A custom system follows your existing flow, so adoption is easier. If a packaged product suits you, we will tell you.
Can it track fabric sent to outside dyeing and knitting units?
Yes. Every outward DC records party, lot, process, weight and pieces. Returns are entered against the same DC, so you can see what is still pending with each unit, how much weight was lost in processing, and whether the loss is within the norm you agreed with that party.
Does it handle GST on job work?
The system prints delivery challans for goods sent for job work and raises GST invoices for processing charges and sales. It can also produce reports that help your accountant with job-work related GST filings. Rules on job work and returns change from time to time, so your auditor should confirm the treatment for your business.
Can supervisors update production from their phones?
Yes. We build a simple Android app for floor staff to enter cutting, stitching, checking and packing counts, receive goods against DCs and attach photos. Screens use large buttons and minimal typing, and can be shown in Tamil where that helps staff.
Will it work with Tally?
Most units keep Tally for accounts. We usually push sales, purchases and job-work bills to Tally through its XML interface or a structured import, so your accountant keeps working as before while production data lives in the ERP. We confirm the method with your Tally version and accountant during scoping.
Are you an ERP development company or do you resell a product?
We are an ERP development company that writes custom software. We do not resell a packaged ERP or charge per-user licence fees. Our ERP development services focus on garment and knitwear units, and the same team builds manufacturing ERP for other kinds of factories. You receive the source code on final payment.
Can overseas buyers see order status?
If you want, we can add a buyer view that shows TNA milestones, production progress and packing details for their orders only. Many exporters prefer to share a regular status report instead, which the system can generate and email on a schedule.
We already have old data in Excel. Can you use it?
Yes. We import party lists, yarn and process masters, style details and open orders from your sheets. Closed orders can be imported for reference if the data is reasonably consistent. We check opening balances, including yarn and fabric pending with outside units, with you before go-live.
