Zedonk alternatives for fashion brands
Zedonk is a cloud ERP and PLM for fashion, jewellery and accessories brands, from one-person labels to teams of 30 or more, and more than 1,000 brands have used it. It is priced by module. 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 Zedonk covers
Zedonk covers costing, bills of materials, sales orders, production, purchasing, stock across several locations, invoicing, barcodes, B2B and B2C selling and reporting, with accounting and Shopify connections. In 2025 it launched Z.Studio, a separate tech pack builder with mood boards, swatch libraries and colour palettes.
Capterra lists Zedonk's modules at a flat monthly rate: PLM and ERP Essential at £166 each, B2C at £250 and B2B at £332. Z.Studio starts from £1,900 a year. Capterra lists no free trial.
If Zedonk is on your shortlist, the practical question is whether you need it to run stock, orders and selling, or mainly to plan, cost and order the collection.

How Tr3e differs from Zedonk
Zedonk runs the business around stock, orders and sales, with product development as one of its modules. 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 has no inventory, wholesale or accounting tools, and no dedicated tech pack builder. A brand can keep an ERP for stock and sales and plan, cost and order the collection in Tr3e.
