How Tr3e is organised

Tr3e is where a fashion brand develops its collections: what to make, what it's made of, what it costs, who makes it, and when each decision is due. Here is how the pieces fit.

#The big picture

Workspace
├── Collections       a season or drop, such as SS27
│   ├── Categories    how its products are filed: Outerwear → Coats
│   ├── Budget        what it may spend, and what it will earn
│   └── Critical Path eight milestones, from line plan to production
├── Products          each with its variants, sizes and prices
│   ├── Construction  its bill of materials
│   └── Manufacturing the processes that make it, and their cost
├── Library           materials, components, companies, processes, certificates
└── Purchase orders   what you order from a vendor, from Draft to Closed

#Workspace

Your brand's account in Tr3e. It has members, each with a role (owner, admin, member or viewer), one currency for every amount, and its own settings. You can belong to several Workspaces and switch between them from the top bar.

#Collections

A collection is a season or a drop. It holds products, files them under its categories, keeps track of its budget, and takes every product through the Critical Path.

#Products and variants

A product is one style, such as the Oslo Coat. Its colours and other options make its variants: the Oslo Coat in Black and in Ecru is two variants.

• Sizes don't make variants. Each variant lists its sizes, each with its own SKU, barcode and planned units.
• Prices (Target Price, RRP and WSP) belong to the product.
• Files, the bill of materials, manufacturing and the unit cost belong to each variant, so the Black and the Ecru coat can cost differently.

#Library

What your products are made from and made by, kept once and used everywhere: materials, components, companies (suppliers, manufacturers, vendors), manufacturing processes and certificates.

A material's price comes from its orders. Record a new order and every product that uses it is costed again.

#Purchase orders

An order to a vendor for products, by variant and size, with prices, delivery and payment terms. It moves from Draft through Approved, Sent and Received to Closed, and downloads as a PDF. See Purchase orders.
