Client Overview: Manel Fashion
Manel Fashion is a leading fashion brand in the United Arab Emirates, offering a range of elegant clothing and custom-tailored apparel for women through both online and offline channels. Known for their attention to detail and personalized styles, Manel Fashion handles everything from ready-made garments to made-to-measure designs. Their operations required precise coordination between sales, manufacturing (tailoring), inventory, and finance.
However, with growing order volume and increasing product variations, Manel Fashion struggled to scale operations while maintaining the personalized experience customers expected. Their unique tailoring process could not be effectively managed using off-the-shelf ERP systems.
To overcome these hurdles, Manel Fashion partnered with KoderXpert Technologies LLP to implement a fully customized
Odoo ERP solution focused on handling their complex sales-to-tailoring flow and production lifecycle.
Challenges Faced
Manel Fashion faced several operational and system-related challenges:
Disjointed Tailoring Workflow
Their custom tailoring process, including cutting, stitching, embellishment, and fitting, could not be captured accurately in standard manufacturing flows.
High Product Variability
Each clothing item had numerous size, color, and design variants, leading to confusion in inventory, planning, and fulfillment.
Lack of Real-Time Production Tracking
No centralized system to track orders through stages of production, resulting in delays and poor coordination between tailoring teams.
Offline + Online Sales Channels
Orders came from physical stores, social media, and an eCommerce website, which were not synced properly with production and stock.
Accounting Limitations
Manual financial tracking and reconciliation from different channels made it hard to maintain consistent, compliant books.
