AIMS360 alternatives for fashion brands

AIMS360 is an apparel ERP from California for established brands, manufacturers and wholesalers, with production, orders, warehouse and accounting in one system. Its prices are given on request. Smaller teams that mostly need help planning and costing the collection often look at lighter tools too. This page lists the usual alternatives and what each one is good at.

#What AIMS360 covers

AIMS360 covers order processing, production control and scheduling, bills of materials and costing, style, colour and size inventory, purchasing and receiving, warehouse management, EDI, CRM, accounting and reporting. It also lists PLM, PIM and AI automations. It comes as a cloud edition hosted on Microsoft Azure and as a Windows desktop edition installed on site.

AIMS360 says its desktop edition suits large apparel businesses with experienced users, in-house IT and high-volume EDI with department stores. All plans are priced by quote, per user, with no free trial.

If AIMS360 is on your shortlist, the practical question is whether you need it to run production, stock, wholesale and accounting, or mainly to plan, cost and order the collection.

#How Tr3e differs from AIMS360

AIMS360 runs the business around production and sales: orders, stock, the warehouse, EDI and the books. Tr3e covers the product work before that. Every style sits in one collection with its colours, sizes, materials and live unit cost, compared with the target price, so the team sees the margin while the design can still change. The collection budget shows spend, projected revenue and profit. The Critical Path dates the milestones back from the purchase order date, and purchase orders come straight from planned units in the supplier's own currency. Tr3e also creates SKUs and barcodes for every size and publishes Digital Product Passports.

Tr3e runs in the browser, has a public price and a free first month, and a team can start the same day. It has no inventory, EDI, warehouse or accounting tools. A brand can keep an ERP for stock and sales and plan, cost and order the collection in Tr3e.

#Moving to Tr3e

1. Export your styles and materials as spreadsheets.
2. Create your Workspace and fill in its currency, sizes and codes. See Get started with Tr3e.
3. Add materials, suppliers and certificates to the Library once.
4. Create the current collection with its products, colours and sizes, and add each variant's materials and manufacturing to see live cost.
5. Invite the team and suppliers. Viewers and suppliers are free.

Most teams start with the season they are working on now.
