Swift comprises these basic modules
Style Master
The starting point is the style master. This stores all the information about the garment or product.
Style Master features:
- create multiple size curves (e.g. normal and outsize)
- set up brand royalties
- do costings in multiple currencies
- attach multiple images / CADS as well as other files (tech packs etc)
- brief the style to multiple suppliers
Indent
In Swift, orders from you to your suppliers are called indents. This is your purchase order to the supplier.
Indent features:
- sample approvals and timeline
- ports, handover and delivery dates
- order multiple styles on one indent to consolidate shipping
- supports rise-by-size (e.g. duvets having a separate price per size point)
Purchase Orders
These are orders from your customers to you. The basic information (prices and units) are captured into Swift.
PO features
- easily compare units ordered (indents) with confirmed sales (customer po)
- manage prepacks
