Los Angeles Apparel runs a 300,000 square foot factory in South Central Los Angeles with a factory store attached. After replacing a basic Square POS setup with Shopify POS connected to AIMS360's warehouse management system and RFID tracking, retail store revenue grew 4x, inventory accuracy reached 99% across warehouse and retail, and physical counts got more than 70% faster.
This page covers how the pieces fit: why Square hit a wall, what the AIMS360 and Shopify POS connection changed, and where RFID paid for itself. AIMS360 led the installation and integration.
Measured after the move from Square POS to Shopify POS connected to AIMS360 WMS with RFID inventory tracking.
Los Angeles Apparel is a vertically integrated, American-made manufacturer that bills itself as one of the largest apparel manufacturing operations in the USA and the G7. Its own site puts the model plainly: everything is knit, dyed, cut, and sewn in a 300,000 square foot factory in South Central Los Angeles, with no offshore subcontracting, and a factory store sells the garments a few steps from where they were made.
That vertical model is the appeal and the operational challenge. Production, warehousing, wholesale, e-commerce, and a busy retail floor all pull from the same physical inventory, so a mismatch anywhere shows up everywhere. As the business expanded, the tooling had to catch up with the model.
Square is fine at ringing up a sale. It was never built to understand a garment business where every product exists as a style, a color, and a size, and where the store shelf and the warehouse rack are supposed to be the same pool of inventory.
The fix was not a better cash register. It was connecting the register to the system that already understood the inventory. AIMS360 led the installation: Shopify POS on the retail floor, wired directly into AIMS360's WMS, with RFID layered on for counting.
The system of record. Real-time inventory across production, warehouse, and retail, tracked the way apparel works: by style, color, and size, with barcode workflows for receiving, picking, packing, and sales. Details on the inventory management and WMS page.
The retail floor. Connected directly to AIMS360, so every sale updates the master record the moment it happens, and the store sells against numbers the warehouse agrees with. No re-keying, no end-of-day reconciliation ritual.
The counting layer. RFID-enabled cycle counts replaced slow manual inventories, cutting count time by more than 70% and surfacing discrepancies immediately instead of at the next full physical.
For a deeper look at how the Shopify POS connection works day to day, from front stock and back stock to store transfers and buy-online-pickup-in-store, read Supercharge Shopify POS with AIMS360 WMS.
The result that matters most is structural. AIMS360 holds one master stock record, and every sales channel draws from it: the retail store through Shopify POS, the online store, and the wholesale side of the business. A sale on the floor, a web order, and a warehouse pick all move the same number.
That is what made the store trustworthy enough to grow. Staff stopped burning hours on manual counts and mismatch hunts, discrepancies got caught the day they appeared, and the retail operation scaled to 4x revenue without the inventory chaos that usually comes with it.
"AIMS didn't just integrate Shopify POS. They set it up, optimized it, and connected it seamlessly with their ERP and RFID system. The result? Our retail revenue jumped by 4x."

Shopify POS connects directly to AIMS360, so retail sales flow into the ERP as they happen and inventory updates flow back the other way.
