Garment / Clothing
Size and colour matrix stock, seasonal buying and fast markdown cycles for garment retail and apparel manufacturing.
Also covers: Apparel · Readymade Garments · Fashion Retail · Garment Manufacturing · Apparel Manufacturing
About this industry
Garment stock is a matrix, not a list. One design exists in five sizes and four colours, and running out of the middle sizes while holding the extremes is the normal failure. Seasons compress the selling window, so buying decisions made months earlier determine whether stock sells at full price or at markdown.
Common operational problems
- Size and colour combinations are impossible to track on a simple stock list
- Middle sizes sell out while extremes sit, and the design looks 'in stock' overall
- Season-end leftovers erode margin through progressive markdowns
- Alterations are done free without being costed
- Repeat customers' sizes and preferences are remembered rather than recorded
Example workflows
