What Textile Production Management is for

In apparel and textile product development, the unit that matters is the article - and it travels a long way. Fabric is purchased, a production sheet is made, job cards go to internal teams and outside vendors, quality is checked, goods are packed and dispatched, and somewhere in parallel a photoshoot and a launch date are being planned.

Highsense Textile Production Management keeps all of that on one article timeline, with defined workflow stages and approvals, so nobody has to ask where something is.

Built for

Textile manufacturers developing seasonal ranges

Modules

01

Article master

Every style held as an article with category, media and a complete timeline of what happened to it.

02

Fabric purchase

Fabric purchased against the article and tracked through to issue, so cost attaches to the style.

03

Production sheets

The specification that drives production, versioned against the article.

04

Job cards

Work issued as job cards with assignment, status and completion against each stage.

05

Vendor jobs

Work sent to outside vendors tracked separately, with handover recorded at each boundary.

06

Workflow stages and steps

Defined stages and steps per article type, so progress is measured the same way every time.

07

Quality checks

Inspection recorded per stage, with failures routed back before the article moves forward.

08

Packing and dispatch

Packing lists against the sales order, with dispatch and invoicing from the same record.

09

Photoshoot and launch plan

Shoot scheduling and launch dates planned against the article, so marketing and production stay aligned.

10

Approvals and task assignment

Approvals at defined stages, and tasks assigned to departments with visible ownership.

Frequently asked questions

Does it track work sent to outside vendors?

Yes. Vendor jobs are tracked separately from internal job cards, with handover recorded at each boundary so responsibility is always clear.

Can we plan photoshoots and launches in the same system?

Yes. Photoshoot scheduling and launch planning sit against the article, so production delays are visible to the marketing calendar immediately.

Is there an approval step before an article moves on?

Yes. Approvals are configured at defined workflow stages, and an article cannot progress past a stage until it is approved.

Can we see the full history of a style?

Yes. Each article carries a timeline of every stage, job card, quality check and handover it has been through.
