Garment Factory Management Software
Every style and size has a recipe: how many metres of fabric, how many buttons and labels. The production order issues materials at cost, adds the workshop fee, and puts finished pieces into stock at their real cost.
Cost per piece is a guess
Cost comes from the average cost of fabric and trims at production time, plus the labour and overhead set on the recipe, so prices are set on a real figure.
Cutting and sewing are different jobs
A cut piece is a semi-finished item with its own recipe. If there isn't enough, the shirt order cuts the shortfall first on its own, up to 8 stages deep.
Materials at outside workshops go untracked
A workshop you use is a supplier with a warehouse in its name. You transfer materials to it, the order consumes from that warehouse, and the workshop fee is recorded as owed to it.
Example: 200 size-L shirts at an outside workshop
The figures follow exactly how the system calculates.
- The "Poplin shirt — L" recipe: 1.6 m of fabric at EGP 85 a metre, 7 buttons at EGP 0.50 and a label at EGP 2. Materials per piece: EGP 141.50.
- You transfer 320 m of fabric, 1,400 buttons and 200 labels to the "Al Amal workshop" warehouse.
- A production order for 200 shirts from the workshop warehouse at a fee of EGP 25 a piece: materials EGP 28,300 and fees EGP 5,000.
- The 200 shirts enter finished stock at EGP 166.50 each, and the EGP 5,000 is recorded as owed to Al Amal on its account.

How to get started
When signing up, choose "Factory (manufacturing)" so recipes, production orders and warehouses are switched on.
Add materials (fabric by the metre), finished items by size, and a recipe for each size.
If you use outside workshops, add each as a supplier with its own warehouse.
Worth knowing before you subscribe
- There is no marker planning or fabric calculation from patterns; you enter the quantity in the recipe.
- Output per machine or piece-rate worker is not tracked.
Frequently asked questions
Do different sizes use different amounts?
Yes. Each size is its own item with its own recipe, so XL can take 1.75 m and L 1.6 m.
What if materials run short?
Before the order, "material check" shows required, available and short for each material, and the order is not recorded while anything is short.
What is the production journal entry?
Debit inventory (finished goods), credit inventory (materials), applied costs, and the workshop for its fee.
