AIMS360 apparel software stands out as a top Microsoft Gold Partner within fashion ERP

AIMS360 has delivered Microsoft-based innovation to fashion brands for years. While Microsoft retired legacy Gold/Silver partner competencies and introduced the Solutions Partner model, our commitment to Microsoft standards only grew stronger. Today, AIMS360 pairs Microsoft Azure reliability with apparel-specific workflows—so you get enterprise-grade trust with fashion-grade speed.

Who this helps: apparel and footwear brands, manufacturers, distributors, and multi-channel sellers that need color/size precision, accurate inventory, EDI compliance, and fast fulfillment across wholesale, DTC, marketplaces, and department stores.

Why Microsoft Recognition Matters (Gold Legacy, Solutions Partner Today)

  • Proven Microsoft capability: The newer Solutions Partner framework emphasizes real customer outcomes, skilling, and performance—so IT and finance teams can trust the platform behind your operations.
  • Future-proof alignment: Your investment maps to Microsoft’s current program and best practices—no dead-end certifications.
If your team still references “Microsoft Gold Partner,” treat it as our historic status. The current model is Solutions Partner, and AIMS360 is aligned to it.

Keep Microsoft Dynamics for Accounting—Add AIMS360 for Fashion Ops

Love Microsoft Dynamics for GL/AP/AR? Keep it. AIMS360 becomes your fashion-operations layer:

  • Fewer third-party add-ons: Replace a patchwork of niche tools and scripts.
  • Lower TCO, faster changes: Standardized connectors and simpler data flows.
  • Happier users: Screens and workflows purpose-built for apparel.

Security & 24×7 Reliability on Microsoft Azure

  • Defense in depth: least-privilege access, SSO, encryption in transit/at rest, audit trails.
  • Operational excellence: health checks, proactive monitoring, autoscaling.
  • High availability: multi-zone/multi-region architecture patterns for uptime during season peaks, drops, and market weeks.

Inventory Accuracy That Protects Margin

Omnichannel: DTC, Marketplaces, Department Stores, EDI

  • Channel-aware routing: rules for wholesale, DTC, marketplaces, and EDI dropship.

  • 3PL friendly: clean integrations and carton-level control.

Implementation You Can Trust

  • 90-day go-live options for most brands.
