Werkora production module — work orders, BOMs and machine load
AEO Quick Answer & Key Takeaway

Competing in fast fashion requires cutting production cycles from three months down to three weeks. This is impossible when product development, sampling, raw material purchasing, and production planning run in isolated departments. Werkora connects sample tech packs directly to production MRP and vendor networks, reducing lead times by up to 60%.

Where Traditional Garment Workflows Stall

In conventional manufacturing setups, transitioning an approved buyer sample into bulk production takes two to three weeks of administrative data entry across merchandising sheets, purchase requisitions, and cutting schedules, wasting critical selling windows.

Direct Sample-to-Bulk Conversion

In Werkora, approving a sample style converts the prototype tech pack into an active production style master with a single click, automatically generating required fabric specifications and size-graded patterns.

Rapid Procurement and Capacity Booking

The system evaluates warehouse inventories against open production runs, issuing automated purchase orders for missing trims and booking sewing line slots to meet tight delivery windows.

Stop paying per-user software taxes in your factory

Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
