Smarter Inventory Management with AIMS360 Apparel Software

Fashion brands that grow the fastest are the ones that master their inventory—knowing what’s in stock now, what’s incoming, where it’s stored, and how to fulfill it across all sales channels. AIMS360’s cloud-based apparel ERP gives you the tools to track, allocate, and manage your inventory across warehouses, showrooms, and 3PLs with complete control down to the bin level.

At the end of the day, your company has invested thousands—or even millions—into purchasing and producing inventory. Without the right fashion operations system, you risk tying up capital in dead stock, missing sales due to stockouts, or overproducing styles that won’t move.

AIMS360’s cloud-based fashion ERP gives you full control over inventory across warehouses, 3PLs, showrooms, and sales channels—down to the style, color, size, and bin. Whether you’re fulfilling e-commerce orders or planning wholesale deliveries, inventory is your engine. And AIMS360 keeps it running smarter.
