Garment ERP Success Stories:
How Manufacturers & Sellers Transformed
Their Businesses
We manage manufacturing in Kladana: create bills of materials and production operations, process sales & production orders, and even keep records of needles available in stock. We’ve got all info in Kladana — from a single piece of thread to each customer.
Kladana also helps us launch new collections. We evaluate how efficient the previous one was — estimate the sell-through of each item, and analyze what could slow down the sales and why.
Once Kladana helped us catch an unscrupulous manager who attributed someone else’s sales to himself.
All major departments work in Kladana: sewing accessories and fabrics warehouse, design, and development department, production, finished goods warehouse, online shop packers, and offline retail stores.
Kladana significantly reduces the time for routine processes and manual labour: inventory counting takes only 3–4 hours, and searching for the right item in the warehouse thanks to the distribution of goods into storage bins — 1 minute.
Kladana helped me to organize my work and to set proper inventory management: purchases, sales, labels, invoices, and SKUs. Before Kladana, even though MATÜ brand was still small, we regularly got confused: the wrong price tag or SKU was used, we did not make accurate calculations, and processed orders with mistakes. This all consumed time and energy.
Kladana turned out to be simple and convenient. As a result, I got rid of routine, which freed up time for strategic tasks.
We have been using Kladana since the company was founded in 2016. We keep track of goods and work with purchase and sales orders, shipments and receivings, and inventory. We also test various integrations.
