Garment ERP is software that connects a clothing business's styles, materials, production, inventory, orders and finances. Ai2000 (formerly A2000 Software) brings apparel-specific style, color and size data together with PLM, production management, warehouse operations, wholesale EDI and accounting. Teams can follow a garment from development through sourcing, fulfillment and margin reporting without treating each size or channel as a separate spreadsheet.
What garment ERP needs to manage
A garment has more dimensions than a generic SKU. Size, color, season, fabric and selling channel all affect what can be made, allocated and shipped. A useful garment ERP keeps those dimensions attached to the style through the production and order lifecycle.
Style, color and size inventory
See stock and demand by variant and season. Allocate available units to wholesale, ecommerce or retail orders from a shared inventory view.
PLM and garment development
Keep style details, tech packs, bills of materials and costing connected to sourcing and production rather than recreating product data later.
Production and contractors
Track work orders, materials, milestones and work in process across in-house work and external garment production.
Materials and landed cost
Connect fabric and trim purchasing to garment costs, then include freight and duty when reviewing actual margin.
Wholesale orders and EDI
Link retailer purchase orders, allocations, routing requirements, shipping notices and invoices to the same operational record.
Warehouse and financials
Move finished garments into warehouse picking and shipping, with order and cost data available for financial reporting.

Is garment ERP different from garment manufacturing ERP?
Yes. Garment ERP covers the wider clothing business, including product development, purchasing, inventory, orders, warehouse and finance. Garment manufacturing ERP focuses more deeply on cut-and-sew work orders, bundles, contractors, work in process and production costing. If your most difficult problem is factory execution, start with our manufacturing guide; if it is coordinating production with selling and fulfillment, start here.
Common questions
What is garment ERP software?
It is a system for managing garment styles, sizes, materials, production, stock, orders and finances together. Apparel-specific ERP keeps clothing variants and seasonal demand connected across departments.
Which ERP features matter for a garment business?
Look for style-color-size inventory, PLM, material costing, production visibility, wholesale order management, EDI, warehouse management and connected financial reporting. Prioritize the workflows your team actually operates.
Can a garment ERP handle both manufacturing and distribution?
Yes. Ai2000 connects apparel production workflows with finished-goods inventory, wholesale orders, warehouse fulfillment and financials. Ask to see your own contractor and retailer scenarios in a walkthrough.
How is garment ERP different from a generic ERP?
Generic ERP can track items and orders, but garment teams also need style, color, size, season, bills of materials and retailer rules tied together. Evaluate those workflows directly rather than assuming basic inventory screens cover them.
