ERP software for textile industry

One system for weaving mills: yarn, beams, looms, job work, rolls and the cost of every metre.

What we build

Custom ERP software solutions that handles yarn purchase orders, lot-wise receipts, incoming quality checks, work orders, stock and valuation well. What it doesn't do is think in ends, beams and rolls. These are the parts we build.

Textile Production Workflow

Ends-wise warping BOM and yarn planning

Know exactly how much yarn every order needs, and where every kilogram went.

  • Yarn requirements calculated automatically for every sales order and beam plan

  • Stock visible in kilograms, cones and ends, by count and lot

  • Wastage allowances set per quality, with overruns flagged on the order

  • Yarn moved to the warping floor automatically when an order is raised

  • Purchase requests raised automatically when stock runs short

The result: no yarn shortages that stop production, and no unexplained gap between yarn bought and yarn used.

Sizing and chemical consumption

See what sizing really costs on every beam.

Chemical spend usually lands in a monthly overhead line, so nobody knows which quality or order used it. The ERP records chemical consumption against each sizing batch and adds the cost to the beam.

  • Size recipes set per fabric quality

  • Chemical stock consumed automatically against each batch

  • Pickup % recorded per beam, with deviations from target flagged

  • Sizing cost carried through to the final fabric cost

The result: chemical spend you can tie to a specific order, and a fabric cost that includes it.

Job work and outsourced processes

Know what every job worker holds and owes you, without keeping a register.

Yarn sent out for sizing or weaving is often tracked in a notebook, and losses only surface when someone reconciles it. The ERP treats job worker stock like stock in your own warehouse.

  • Material issued on system-generated job work challans

  • A live balance per job worker: yarn issued, fabric expected, fabric received

  • Allowed process loss set per job, with shortfalls flagged on receipt

  • Job work charges added automatically to the fabric cost

  • ITC-04 return data generated from challans

The result: no lost yarn at job workers, and GST job work compliance without manual reconciliation.

Loom-wise weaving and efficiency

See output, efficiency and downtime for every loom, every shift.

Production reports are usually written up at the end of a shift and typed in later, by which point a loom that has been idle all morning is old news. The ERP records production as it happens.

  • Production orders assigned per loom

  • Shift-wise output in metres, recorded by barcode or captured from the loom

  • Efficiency and downtime reasons per loom, per shift

  • Yarn consumption checked against plan for every order

  • Piece-rate wages calculated from recorded output

The result: problems caught on the same shift, and wages paid on recorded output rather than written slips.

Grey fabric rolls, inspection and disposition

Only sell fabric that passed inspection, and know why the rest didn't.

When grey fabric is tracked as one bulk quantity, a rejected roll can still be counted as saleable stock, and defects can't be traced back to the loom or yarn that caused them. The ERP manages each roll as its own record.

  • Every roll barcoded and linked to its order, loom and yarn lot

  • Inspection results recorded against the roll, including 4-point fabric inspection scores

  • Acceptance criteria set per customer

  • Rolls moved automatically to Accepted, Hold or Rejected stock

  • Held rolls routed to rework, downgrade or acceptance with deviation

The result: saleable stock you can trust, plus defect reports by loom, quality and supplier. This replaces a separate fabric inspection system.

Yarn-to-roll traceability

Answer any buyer complaint or yarn quality issue in one search.

Export buyers expect you to trace a roll back to its raw material. Without a connected system, that means days of going through registers. The ERP links every stage automatically.

  • Trace any roll back to its yarn lot, supplier and incoming quality check

  • Trace any yarn lot forward to every roll and dispatch it went into

  • Rolls woven at job workers included in the trace

  • Traceability reports ready for buyer audits

The result: a complaint handled in minutes, a recall limited to the rolls that were affected, and buyer audits you can pass.

Fabric costing

Know your real cost per metre before you quote, and after you produce.

Most mills cost fabric in a spreadsheet one person maintains. When a yarn rate changes, the sheet doesn't, and quotes go out on old numbers. The ERP calculates cost per metre from live data.

  • Cost built from actual yarn, chemical, wastage, labour, power and job work data

  • Yarn and chemical rates pulled automatically from purchases

  • Cost per metre and per roll, by quality and by customer

  • Quoting mode that prices new orders on current rates

  • Projected against actual cost compared once production is complete

The result: woven fabric costing you can quote from confidently, and margin visible per order rather than at year-end.

FAQs

Who should use a textile manufacturing ERP?

Weaving mills that buy yarn and run warping, sizing and weaving in-house or through job workers, whether they sell grey fabric or finish it before dispatch. It's especially relevant for mills supplying export buyers who audit traceability.

Is a general ERP enough, or do I need an ERP for the textile industry?

A general ERP handles purchasing, sales and accounting well. It won't calculate a warping BOM in ends, apply different wastage at warping, sizing and weaving, track fabric by roll, or cost fabric per metre from yarn bought in kilograms. Those four are the textile-specific part, and they are usually what still runs in spreadsheets alongside the ERP.

How do I choose ERP software for the textile industry?

Put your own mill data through the system during the demo and check six things:

Does it calculate yarn consumption from ends, length and construction, not a fixed quantity?

Can it apply different wastage at each stage?

Does it track job work yarn balance and returns?

Is every grey fabric roll its own record with its own inspection result?

Can you trace a roll back to its yarn lot, and a yarn lot forward to every roll?

Do you get the source code for anything built for you?

Textile production software that fails any of these will leave a spreadsheet running next to it.

How does the ERP calculate yarn consumption in warping?

From the ends count, target warping length and your construction parameters (EPI, reed space, count), plus a wastage percentage for thread breaks, trimming and process loss. The result is the kilograms of yarn to issue from stores. Raising the warping order moves that yarn to production automatically, and raises an RFQ if stock is short.

How is sizing in weaving tracked in the ERP?

Sizing runs on the same ends-wise BOM as warping, with chemicals added. Chemical consumption is recorded per batch and pickup % per beam, and the sizing cost is attached to each beam so it carries through to the fabric cost.

How is fabric cost per metre calculated?

The costing engine combines warp and weft yarn cost (converted from kilograms using your count and construction), sizing chemicals per beam, wastage at each stage, crimp and knotting loss, and loom, labour, power and job work cost per metre. It replaces the woven fabric costing sheet most mills keep in Excel. Yarn rates and chemical prices update from purchase data, so the fabric cost sheet never runs on an old rate.

Can the ERP replace separate fabric inspection software?

Yes, for most mills. Inspectors record defects against the roll on a tablet, the 4-point fabric inspection score is calculated automatically, and the result sets the roll's status (Accepted, Hold or Rejected) and moves it to the matching location. You need a separate fabric inspection system only if you run automated vision inspection on the frame.

Do I need sensors on every loom?

No. Barcode-based shift reporting gives you loom-wise output and downtime reasons without new hardware. You can add an IoT feed later for real-time efficiency on the looms that support it.

What happens to my existing consumption sheets and costing formulas?

We migrate and validate them. We normalise yarn counts and units, load your constructions as BOMs with their wastage values, then run your next production orders through the system alongside your current sheets. Anything that doesn't reconcile shows up before go-live.

Can I keep Tally for accounting in the first year?

Yes. The ERP runs purchase, inventory, production and sales, and Tally keeps the books with a periodic journal sync. It's worth unwinding by year two, because two systems means two versions of every number.
