AIMS360 partners with fashion and design programs to put the same consumer brands ERP that runs real businesses into the hands of students. Schools get the software donated. Students graduate knowing the systems employers already use.
AIMS360 donates its consumer brands ERP software to accredited fashion, design, and merchandising programs, at no cost to the school. Faculty get access to the full system, teaching materials, and support from the AIMS360 team. Students work in the same environment used by brands shipping to Nordstrom, Macy's, and hundreds of other retailers.
The goal is simple. Most graduates enter the industry having never touched an ERP, then spend their first months learning one on the job. Students who arrive already fluent are more useful on day one, and they know it.
Full access to AIMS360 for your program, including styles, production, inventory, orders, and reporting. No license cost to the institution.
Onboarding for instructors from the same team that implements AIMS360 for brands, so the software is taught the way it is used in practice.
Course material grounded in how brands run: purchase orders, size and color matrices, wholesale orders, and retailer requirements.
600+ active brands run AIMS360. Graduates who know the system arrive with a skill those companies are hiring for.

Get in touchDesign and merchandising programs teach the creative work well. The gap is what happens after the sketch: costing a style, issuing a purchase order, allocating inventory across wholesale and DTC, and getting an order to a retailer without a chargeback.
Those are the tasks entry-level roles are built around, and they run on ERP software. Learning that system in school turns an unfamiliar interview topic into something you can speak about with specifics.
