Uphance alternatives for fashion brands

Uphance is an apparel ERP for brands that sell both wholesale and direct, with PLM, stock, orders and warehouse tools in one system. It is built for mid-market brands and takes several weeks to set up. 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 Uphance covers

Uphance covers product lifecycle management, line planning, production, inventory, omnichannel order management, a B2B wholesale portal, EDI, warehouse management and payments. It connects to Shopify, Xero and QuickBooks. Uphance says it is aimed at brands with roughly $5 million to $100 million in yearly revenue that sell wholesale and direct, and describes a guided implementation of 6 to 16 weeks.

On the Shopify App Store, Uphance lists plans at $249, $499 and $999 a month, with extra users at $59 a month each. Its own pricing for larger setups is given on request.

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

#How Tr3e differs from Uphance

Uphance runs the operation around a finished product: stock across channels, wholesale orders, the warehouse and the books. Tr3e covers the 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.

A team can start in Tr3e the same day and work on the season it has now. Tr3e has no inventory, wholesale portal, EDI or warehouse 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.
