About AIMS360: the consumer brands ERP

One platform for consumer brands, built on 40 years of apparel

AIMS360 is a cloud ERP for consumer brands, manufacturers and wholesalers across ten industries. Founded in 1984 in the Los Angeles Garment District, AIMS360 began with deep expertise in fashion and apparel and has grown into a consumer brands ERP serving fashion and apparel, footwear, jewelry and accessories, outdoor and sporting goods, beauty and personal care, wellness and supplements, home and furniture, household and home care, baby and children's products, and pet products.

We are a team of technologists, strategists and industry operators. Apparel is in our DNA, and the same architecture that runs a style in twelve sizes runs a serum in six shades, a supplement with a lot and an expiration date, and a treat with a best by date.

Trusted by 10,000+ brands over 40 years, AIMS360 unites departments, sales channels and customers on one platform: style, shade and lot inventory, native EDI to 350+ retailers, wholesale, DTC and marketplace orders, warehouse and 3PL, production and accounting.

By connecting operations and data, we help consumer brands grow faster, reduce cost and cut errors, from the first wholesale account to roughly $400M in revenue.
