Fashion & Apparel

ERP for Shopify
fashion brands.

Matrix inventory, multi-channel sales, production planning, pre-orders, and RFID item tracking. Used by Kotn, GruntStyle, Nomadix, and Cuts.

The challenge

Operational complexity unique to fashion.

Apparel brands face distinct challenges that general retail ERPs were not built to handle.

01

Matrix inventory explosion

A single style with 6 sizes and 4 colors creates 24 SKUs. With 50 styles, you're managing 1,000+ active SKUs requiring individual tracking, forecasting, and reordering.

02

Extended production lead times

Between sampling (2-4 weeks), production (6-16 weeks), and shipping (2-8 weeks), you need to coordinate customer expectations with manufacturing schedules months in advance.

03

Multi-channel synchronization

When a Medium red t-shirt sells on Amazon, it must instantly become unavailable on Shopify, wholesale portals, and retail POS to prevent overselling.

Matrix inventory

Manage variants without the chaos.

Fulfil handles product matrices natively. Create master styles with shared attributes, manage size and color variants, and track each SKU's inventory across all locations.

  • Variant-level reorder points based on individual sales velocity
  • Seasonal demand patterns integrated into forecasting
  • Bundle configurations for promotional kits

Real-time inventory synchronization across Shopify, Amazon, wholesale platforms, retail POS, and marketplaces. One source of truth.

RFID in action
Receiving

Cycle counts

Item-level tracking

Track individual items with unique serial numbers across all locations

RFID technology

Track every item at the speed of fashion.

Fashion brands move fast. RFID lets you count hundreds of items in seconds, not hours. Real-time visibility into every SKU across warehouses, stores, and in-transit inventory.

  • Scan entire shipments in seconds with handheld RFID readers
  • 99%+ inventory accuracy with frequent cycle counts
  • Native RFID support with recommended hardware or bring your own

Mystery SKU management

Turn excess inventory into revenue.

Create mystery boxes, surprise packs, and liquidation bundles to move slow-moving inventory while keeping brand excitement. Automatically select SKUs based on your rules.

  • Define rules for random SKU selection from eligible inventory
  • Create tiered mystery packs (starter, premium, deluxe) with different value ranges
  • Track fulfillment of mystery orders with actual SKUs picked
Mystery box example
Premium Mystery Pack, Size L, $75

Rules: 3 items in size L, minimum retail value $150

• 1x T-shirt (Size L) from slow-moving styles
• 1x Hoodie (Size L) from last season's collection
• 1x Jacket (Size L) from overstock
Result: Clear excess inventory while creating customer excitement

Fulfil was built specifically for modern eCommerce brands, not retrofitted from legacy manufacturing systems. Key differentiators: native Shopify integration without middleware, matrix inventory management designed for apparel, RFID support for retail operations, pre-order and production planning capabilities, EDI connections for wholesale partners, and implementation in weeks (not months).
