How it works
How a garment moves through your company
One single flow, no re-keying: each step feeds the next.
Paso 1
Every style starts with its tech pack
Size range, main and secondary colors, components, and materials with their consumption and costs. If the garment comes from pattern making, the approved pattern becomes a style in one click.
- Fabric and materials consumption, including waste
- Pricing by size group and by market
- Markup factor by collection
Paso 2
The sales order is built by style, size and color
The sales rep enters it in the quantity matrix or imports it from Excel. When it's created, the customer, the person who entered it and the administrators get the order as a PDF by email.
- Up to four partial shipment dates
- Domestic or export market
- Status updates automatically with production and shipping
Paso 3
Production orders are generated from the sales order
One per sales order or grouped by style. When cutting starts, the system checks that there is enough fabric by color and warehouse, and won't let an order start without material.
- Fabric check before cutting
- Material substitution when needed
- Bulk editing of up to 500 orders
Paso 4
Every stage is traceable: who, when and with which contractor
Cutting deducts fabric by lot, first in, first out. External stages are assigned to a sewing contractor, even by component, and go out with their service order (PDF). You define the stages and their sequence.
- Stages in-house or at sewing contractors
- Five PDF formats: cutting, washing and pressing, buttonholes and buttons, printing and embroidery, assembly
- Each operator moves only their own stages
Paso 5
The final stage moves the product into the warehouse
A finished goods lot is created, finishing materials are deducted and barcode labels are printed on a thermal printer or as a PDF.
- Stock by style, size, color and warehouse
- Labels in ZPL, TSPL or PDF
- Stock ledger with a running balance for every movement
Paso 6
Every garment is scanned against the order before it ships
A barcode scanner or the phone camera prevents unit errors. Partial shipments are allowed, each shipment is numbered and the data is ready for your accounting software.
- A shipment is saved complete or not at all: no mismatches
- Backorders by customer and style
- Retail sales at the factory store point of sale
What's included
Everything an apparel manufacturer needs
Modules connected to each other. You turn on the ones you need, and each person sees only what applies to them.
Sales orders
One row per style and color, one column per size. The template blocks entries in sizes the style doesn't come in, and production orders can be created in the same step.
Point of sale
Each store with its own warehouse, configurable VAT (included in the price or not) and the option to sell without stock on hand.
Production orders
Scheduled, in-progress and completed orders, units in production, units produced and active stages.
Sewing contractors
Contractors with tax ID (NIT) or national ID, city and the processes they handle: sewing, embroidery, printing, washing, buttonholes and buttons.
Costing
Materials plus fixed cost, markup factor by collection and profit percentage, with pricing by size group.
Fabric and materials inventory
Record the supplier invoice with detail by material and color, or import lots from Excel with a pre-check and rollback.
Barcodes and shipping
Code 128 in ZPL, TSPL or PDF, with each market's label design, and generation of any missing labels based on stock.
Who it's for
Built around the way Colombian apparel manufacturers work
Contract manufacturing, your own clothing brand, uniforms and workwear, or a growing workshop: the same system is configured for your operation, with no custom development.
Contract manufacturing
When you sew for other brands, your margin depends on hitting the delivery date and knowing exactly what each order costs you. Confeccionando gives you both.
Clothing brand
From collection design to sales in your stores: a single source of truth for pattern making, production, inventory and sales.
Uniforms and workwear
Large orders, many sizes and deliveries in batches: the kind of operation where a single data-entry error gets expensive.
Cut and sew workshops
Knowing how much fabric you have, how much each style uses and what each garment costs you is the first step to growing without losing money.
Exporters
Pricing for domestic, export and big-box retail markets, conversion to US dollars in the tech pack, and labels by market.
Children's and baby clothing
Size ranges by category (baby, kids, adult) and different prices for smaller and larger sizes.
Your team
Everyone gets access to what's theirs
Roles and permissions by screen: you decide what each user sees and can do.
Management
A complete view of the company
Production and shipping dashboards, more than 40 charts, order fulfillment, inventory by warehouse and payments to contractors.
Production
Moves orders forward by stage
Supervisors and operators move only the stages assigned to them and leave a record of what they did.
Sales
Enters orders without errors
The sales rep sees only sales orders: they fill in the quantities by size and color, and the customer receives the PDF.
Point of sale
Sells in the store
The cashier sells from the store's own warehouse, handles store credit with installment payments and closes out the register.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What apparel manufacturers ask us most before getting started.
No. Confeccionando runs in the cloud, in the browser on your computer, tablet or phone. Updates arrive without your team having to do anything.
Yes. Size-and-color sales orders, fabrics and materials by lot, finished goods and machinery are imported from Excel templates. The system checks the file before saving it, lets you create whatever is missing and lets you roll back an entire import.
Yes, it's one of its strengths. You assign each stage, or each component, to a contractor; the hand-off goes out with its service order (PDF), what comes back is recorded, and payment is settled with supporting documents.
Yes. The tech pack calculates cost using materials at their lot value, fixed cost and the markup factor, and gives you the price by size group and market. With the Business plan, each order also adds labor cost per minute, machine time and sewing contractors for the true cost per garment.
Not directly. Each shipment is numbered, and the invoice and inventory are exported in WorldOffice or SIGO formats (Colombian accounting software) to your accounting system, which issues the electronic invoice to the DIAN, Colombia's tax authority.
It depends on how organized your data is. The first step is master data: fabrics and materials, styles, processes, customers and suppliers. If you have them in Excel, bulk import saves you from entering them one by one.
