Low education amongst employees and a very high resistance to change for new systems. High turnover of employees

Ever changing designs and stocks related complex requirements

Since the market is related to fashion industry the nature of products are in itself very dynamic so as to keep pace with the latest trends. They need to maintain design number, the product information. Decide on the design material required specific to that design and execute in the fastest possible time. The same designs has to be replicated in various fabrics and qualities. At the same time the key challenge is to ensure that there in no excess inventory as the design may not be repeated again in the near future. Once the inventory is made, they also have to ensure almost complete sell of the design made, since it may go as dead inventory if the trend goes out of fashion. The entire process is carried out with great speed as duplication from competitors may adversely affect profitability and price control.

Job Outsourced or JOB work done, reconciliation of stocks at each location.

Many processes of garments are outsourced for JOB WORK like stitching, or accessory, printing, embroidery designs etc. As a manufacturer may or may not have all the facilities. To get a correct stock reconciliation at each job worker location it is a difficult task to get the stock status from each location. This effects the costing of the goods, and blocks the capital in excess. Also the manufacturer loses the competitive advantage. It is equally important to arrive a landed cost report as in case of exports of garments the quantities are very large and every factor is multiplied and cost dearly to the manufacturer.

Seamless Integration with marketing departments.

Once the designs are made, they have to be integrated with their product manuals, websites with correct availability and visibility of the stocks at the same time.
