The T-Shirt Factory
As demand grew—from online retail orders and wholesale accounts to bespoke event merch and high-volume brand partnerships—their operations became increasingly complex:
- Fragmented order intake: Orders arrived via website forms, email, phone and third-party portals, requiring manual consolidation and prone to errors.
- Diverse production workflows: With DTG, screen printing, sublimation, embroidery, knitwear and garment-dyeing under one roof, scheduling presses, printers and stitching machines relied on spreadsheets.
- Inventory & sustainability tracking: To support their carbon-net-zero mission and manage blank garment stocks, they needed real-time visibility into materials, waste and offsets.
- Fulfilment complexities: Next-day on-demand printing sits alongside bulk runs and 3PL shipments, making fulfilment coordination a major challenge.
Introducing a unified platform
Implementing an integrated ERP will give The T-Shirt Factory the digital backbone to:
- Centralise orders across e-commerce, wholesale and bespoke requests, with automated routing to the right production line.
- Orchestrate production by linking job tickets, machine availability and batch tracking to optimise throughput and minimise downtime.
- Manage inventory & sustainability with live stock levels, automated reordering of blanks and carbon-offset tracking in line with their net-zero goals.
- Streamline fulfilment by syncing with carriers and 3PL partners for label printing, shipment tracking and consolidated invoicing.
- Unify finance & reporting across multiple revenue streams, providing dashboards on job profitability, machine utilisation and sustainability metrics.
This unified solution will empower The T-Shirt Factory to maintain their handcrafted quality, support rapid growth and uphold their commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
