OFBiz for the Textile Industry

[Nick Rosser-2]

OFBizers,

Can anyone share a positive experience with using OFBiz in the Textile industry?

Thanks, Nick

[Nick Rosser-2]

Some context around this - we are talking with a company that is a retailer of textile fabrics. We have not done anything in this industry and I would suspect that there are many nuances around the ERP processing for this type of product line. Example: fabric inventory would be stored as a specific width and yardage. And much more that I'm sure I'm unaware of ...

Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Nick

I would suspect that the width is identified in the SKU.
54 inch white cotton is a different product from a 2 meter width of the
identical material.

You may want to ask if you have to keep track of dye lots within a
single product.

Is the prospect a B2B or B2C situation?

You may have to deal with lots of conversion between incoming material
and outgoing - bolt, rolls, yards, metres, pounds, kilograms to yards or
metres,

SKU, color, size, price, brand and etc. in textile industry are not
difficult for OFBiz. You have to pay attention on publishing products and
exchanging order/inventory info between OFBiz and sales channels especially
B2C websites such as Amazon.

Is there any EDI center of textile industry in USA similar to B24 in Europe?
If yes, I'm afraid you have to do some PriCat and EDI development as well.

Hi Nick,

Besides of registering the EAN, SKU and other attributes association with
the product, also the GTIN is important. Textile B2B is nowadays more a
global business than it used to be. One also have to take into
consideration that when the textiles are applied in fashion collection
changes can occur about a dozen times per year, having an effect on the
catalog and inventory of the textile wholesaler. And yes, more and more is
automated through UN/EDIFACT.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits
