Cutting lays, sewing lines and packing counted by colour and size for garment factories.

Manage buyer orders, style samples, fabric and trim stock, cutting lays, bundle tickets, sewing line output, outside embroidery and wash, piece-rate pay and packing lists in one system. Every order is split by colour and size at entry and stays split until the carton is closed. Merchandisers, cutting masters, line supervisors and the packing floor all work from the same count.

  • Size charts, operation lists and piece rates entered the way your lines work
  • Open orders, fabric stock and unit balances moved over before go-live
  • Changes to styles, operations and packing formats made by GullySystem staff on request

Shirt, knitwear, uniform and private label garment factories can run orders, cutting, sewing and packing in Apparel Manufacturer Management Software, which GullySystem configures. Each order carries its size ratio, fabric lots, cut bundles and sewing counts. Outside processing and the carton packing list follow. A short size shows at the cutting table, not at the dispatch bay.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Order quantities change after the sample is approved

After the fit sample is signed, the buyer asks for one more colourway or pulls the ship date forward. The merchandiser’s sheet is updated, the cutting table is not, and a lay is spread to the old ratio. Waste follows.

Cut bundles lose their size identity

A torn ticket or a bundle dropped on the wrong table, and the supervisor cannot tell how many size L sleeves are still waiting upstairs. The line starts a body without its collar. Work stops.

Fabric use runs past the marker plan

The plan allows one length per garment and the table spends more. End bits, rejected plies and leftover rolls are not booked against any lay, so the cost sheet is wrong at closing. Nobody can say why.

Units outside the factory report their own numbers

Embroidery, wash and sewing subcontractors send pieces back with a verbal count. Rejections, alterations and pending pieces sit with them until someone visits. That visit costs a day.

Weekly pay depends on notebooks

Operators on piece rate are counted by checkers on paper. Rates differ by operation and by style, and a dozen disputed pieces can hold up the whole settlement. Settlement waits on the argument.

Packing lists are rebuilt from memory

The buyer’s ratio pack asks for cartons by size and colour. The packing team counts finished stock by hand and finds the shortfall only when the container is booked. The ship date has nearly arrived.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

Illustration with sample figures. Your screens are built around your own records.
  1. 1

    Order and sample

    The buyer order is entered by style, colour and size ratio. A size set sample is cut, measured against the spec sheet and approved, and the result is kept with the style.

  2. 2

    Material planning

    The bill of materials for each style gives the fabric, lining, zips, buttons and labels needed. Stock is checked by colour and dye lot, and purchase requests go out for the gap. Open purchase orders count against the gap.

  3. 3

    Cutting

    The cutting master spreads a lay to the marker plan, cuts bundles by size and records the plies and the length used. Bundle tickets are printed for every cut. Every bundle carries style, colour and size.

  4. 4

    Sewing and outside work

    Bundles move to sewing lines or subcontract units, and onward to embroidery or wash. Each movement is a delivery note with counts out, back and rejected by size.

  5. 5

    Inspection and finishing

    Inline checks catch faults at the operation. Final inspection passes lots against the buyer’s quality level, then pressing, tagging and folding follow. Rework goes back to the line.

  6. 6

    Packing and shipment

    Cartons are filled to the buyer’s size ratio. The packing list comes straight from the scanned count, and the invoice with its shipping papers is drawn from the same order.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Buyer orders and size ratios

Hold each purchase order by style, colour and size ratio, with ship dates and revisions. The cutting table and the packing list both read the ratio from here.

Samples and approvals

Record proto, fit and size set samples against each style, with the buyer’s comments, measured points against the spec sheet and the approval date before bulk cutting begins.

Fabric and trim stock

Keep fabric rolls by colour, dye lot, shade band and width, and trims by item. Material is issued to the order that needs it and balances show by lot.

Style bills of materials

List fabric consumption, lining, interlining, thread, zips, buttons and labels for each style and size, so a new order shows its material need before any purchase is raised.

Cutting register

Log every lay with plies, bundles by size, fabric length used and end bits, against what the marker plan expected. Gaps between plan and table are visible per lay.

Bundle tickets and sewing line counts

Print a ticket for each bundle and scan it at every operation. Line supervisors see what each line has taken in, finished and still holds, split by size.

Outside processing notes

Send bundles to embroidery, printing, wash or subcontract sewing on a delivery note. Pieces returned, rejected and pending are balanced by size for each unit.

Piece-rate wages

Credit completed operations to each operator at the rate set for that operation and style. The week’s payable is worked out from scanned tickets, with advances deducted.

Inspection and rework

Record inline and final checks with fault type, count and operator, and send failed pieces to rework. Lot results are kept against the buyer’s inspection standard.

Finished stock and packing lists

Hold finished pieces by style, colour and size, build cartons to the ratio pack, and print the packing list that goes with the shipment.

Production plan by line

Allocate styles and quantities to sewing lines by day, using the operation times and operator strength. Delayed bundles show against the ship date they put at risk.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Order Management

    A revised purchase order updates the colour and size ratio in one place, so cutting and packing both pick up the change.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each style lists fabric length, lining, zips, buttons and labels by size, so material need is known before purchase requests are raised.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Fabric rolls carry their dye lot and shade band, and a lay can be limited to a single lot to avoid mixed shades.

  • Production Planning

    Styles and quantities are placed on sewing lines by day from operation times and operator strength, and late bundles show against the ship date.

  • Job Work Management

    Bundles sent for embroidery, wash or subcontract sewing go out on a delivery note, and returned, rejected and pending pieces balance by size.

  • Quality Control

    Inline faults and final inspection results are logged by operation and operator, and failed pieces are routed to rework before packing.

  • Payroll Management

    Scanned operations are priced at each style’s rate for the operator, and advances are deducted to give the week’s payable.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Finished pieces are held by style, colour and size, and cartons closed against the ratio pack feed the packing list.

Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Styles, sizes and operations

Your size charts, operation lists and operation times are entered first, so the first order opens with the structure your lines already follow.

Piece rates and pay rules

Rates by operation, helper allowances and advance rules follow how your factory pays today, and are reviewed with your accounts team.

Ticket and label formats

Bundle ticket layouts, carton labels and packing list formats are set to your buyers’ requirements.

Open orders and stock brought across

The merchandiser imports each running order, every fabric roll in stock and the goods lying with embroidery and wash units. Counts are signed off before the first live day.

Currency and tax per country

Invoices and shipping papers follow the currency and tax settings of the countries you sell to, reviewed during implementation.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Does it replace our pattern and marker software?

No. Grading and marker making stay in your design tools. This system records the lay that was cut, the plies and the length used against the plan.

Can it follow a bundle through every operation?

Yes. Each bundle carries a ticket with style, colour, size and number. Scans at each operation show where the bundle is and how many pieces came through.

How are pieces at subcontract units kept in step?

Every movement is a delivery note with counts by size. Returned, rejected and pending pieces are balanced for each unit, so the balance lying there is known without a visit.

Can fabric be tracked by dye lot and shade?

Yes. Rolls are held by colour, lot, shade band and width, and a lay can be limited to one lot so two shades do not meet in a garment.

Does it work out piece-rate pay?

Yes, once the rate rules are agreed with you. Operators are credited for each scanned operation at the rate for that style, and the weekly total builds from those entries.

Can a buyer’s ratio pack be packed from it?

Yes. The order holds the carton ratio by size and colour. Finished stock is checked against it, and the packing list prints from the cartons closed.

What about export documents?

Commercial invoices and packing lists are produced from the order. Formats for customs and buyer portals are scoped with you, as rules differ by country.

Can the floor use it without typing?

Mostly. Bundle scans and tablet taps replace typing at the line. Supervisors enter fault codes from a short list. The list is yours.

Who owns the data?

You do. Order, cutting and wage records leave the system in a file layout that we agree with you and put in the quotation first.

How do we see it before deciding?

Cost follows how many cutting tables, sewing lines and subcontract units are tracked, how many users scan or enter, and which label printers and scanners are connected. Moving open orders and fabric roll stock across adds work too. A demo on a sample order comes first, then a quotation priced part by part.

How long before a sewing line can scan bundles?

Buyer orders with size ratios, the cutting register and bundle tickets with line counts would be the base, because that is where pieces go missing. Piece-rate wages, outside processing and packing come after. Each stage and its date is set in the proposal.

What does the merchandiser need to bring along?

Bring size charts, operation lists with their times, current piece-rate sheets, the fabric roll stock list and a running order or two. Sample documents matter: a buyer purchase order, a bundle ticket, a delivery note to a subcontract unit and a packing list. Merchandising, cutting, the lines and stores each need a decision-maker for questions.
