Tech pack & bill of materials

- BOMs and formulas with a scrap rate per material
- Measurement charts and specs tied to sizes
- Production steps, packaging and pricing in ordered tabs
- A print-ready review to share the spec with the workshop

Contractors & outwork (CMT)
Contractor work under control — quantity, rate and account.
Hand cut pieces to the contractor, receive garments back, count the loss — and their dues become a supplier invoice in the same system. They get their own external portal, no Sinad account needed.
- Direct handoffs with quantities and attachments per stage
- Received, lost and per-piece rate computed for you
- Contractor dues become a purchasing invoice posted in the books
- An external portal via secure link, plus stage reports from their side

Quality & true cost
Inspect before you ship. Know your margin before you celebrate.

- Reusable inspection templates applied per production order
- A printable inspection report, and defects by stage
- Cost analysis: materials, labor, machines — planned vs actual
- Profitability closeout: quoted vs actual margin, with the variance

Asked often
Before you ask —
I don't make garments — is Factory still useful?
The backbone is general: BOMs and formulas, routings, work orders, quality and costing — it fits any light manufacturing. The extra depth — measurements, tech packs and per-piece contractor work — is built specifically for garments.
Do my customer or contractor need a Sinad account?
No. The quote reaches your customer as a secure link that opens in the browser, and the contractor gets an external portal through a limited-scope link you can revoke at any time — no login required.
How do the numbers reach accounting?
No bridges: the finished-goods receipt raises stock, contractor dues become a supplier invoice, and the customer invoice is issued from the same system — a double entry on one ledger.
