Trims and accessories represent only 10% to 15% of garment value, but missing a single specific button or brand label halts an entire sewing line. Without BOM-driven MRP, store managers over-purchase to avoid line stoppages, leaving godowns packed with unsellable dead accessories. Werkora aligns procurement with live cut quantities.
A sewing line with 40 operators can sit idle for an entire shift because a 20-paisa size label is out of stock. To prevent this, inventory managers purchase 20% safety cushions for every order, tying up lakhs in surplus thread and custom trims that cannot be reused for other buyers.
Werkora's MRP engine calculates exact trim requirements based on approved cut quantities, net BOM ratios, and historical wastage factors, ensuring orders arrive at lines on time without accumulating excess inventory.
Organizing trim stores with barcode-labeled bin locations enables store staff to pick accessories rapidly using digital pick lists, speeding up line issuance and eliminating forgotten stock.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Standard industry practice applies a 3% to 5% buffer on small items like buttons and polybags, and a strict 0% buffer on high-value serialized brand tags.
The system logs unused trims back to the central store, flagging matching core specifications for allocation to future production orders.
