Print-on-Demand · Materials and purchasing module Order the right blanks before you run out.
Order quantities by style, color and size from the jobs coming in, spare blanks for the risky jobs, and which supplier’s blanks fail more often.
Running out here. Overstocked there.
One size runs out and a whole order waits. Another style sits on the shelf for months. Both tie up cash, and both hold up jobs.
Most shops reorder against last month’s rush, not against the work actually coming in.

What shops ask about materials and purchasing.
Does it place purchase orders?
No. It recommends what to order. Your team places the order in the system you already use.
How does it decide on spare blanks?
From your own spoilage history for that garment, method and press. Risky jobs carry more spares; safe ones carry fewer.
Can it compare suppliers fairly?
It compares spoilage by supplier on the same garment and method, so the comparison is like for like.
What data does it need?
Read-only access to: garment style and size on each job; upcoming job quantities; blank inventory on hand; supplier stock and lead time. Where a field is missing, we tell you what to capture and what it is worth, or extend your system to record it.
