AIMS360 is the ERP for luxury and contemporary fashion brands: designer, premium and contemporary labels that make in small runs, sell to Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, show at market and on JOOR, and run their own Shopify store and boutiques. Every style, color and size sits on one record, wholesale and DTC share one open to sell, and labels including Retrofête, MISA Los Angeles, Generation Love and Clare V. run or have run on it.
Parent industry: Fashion & Apparel ERP →Luxury here means the brand, not the size of the company: an independent designer label in 40 doors and a premium denim house both count. Global houses with hundreds of their own stores usually run large enterprise suites. This page is for the labels that design, produce and wholesale their own collections and want one system for all of it.
A luxury or contemporary label sells fewer units than a mass brand, at a much higher price, to buyers who notice every late shipment and every wrong size. A small mistake costs more here, and so does a spreadsheet.
1. Fabric is the bet. Premium fabric is bought up front, often against a mill minimum, and every roll can carry its own dye lot. AIMS360 tracks fabric by lot and by roll, stored at roll level in warehouse bin locations, so you know which rolls went into which cut.
2. Small runs across many doors. Thirty units of a color spread across twenty doors leaves no room to oversell. Stock and goods still in production are assigned to orders by account priority, down to the size, through intelligent allocation.
3. The price has to hold. End-of-season closeouts go to off-price, and full-price accounts should never see those prices. Private collections on the WebLink portal show a closeout only to the accounts you attach to it.
4. The top doors have rules. Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks each run their own vendor manuals for bulk and drop ship, with labels, ship notices and chargebacks to match.
5. Margin is per style, landed. Duty, freight and the factory price all land on the style. Landed cost on import purchase orders and gross margin by style show which pieces actually earn.
AIMS360 runs that model on one record: the style, color and size matrix, fabric by lot and roll, cut tickets with production tracking, native EDI, Shopify and the general ledger.
Cut tickets and vendor purchase orders go to your contractors and factories, tracked stage by stage. Fabric is received by lot and roll and carried on the bill of materials, and imports carry landed cost, so cost and margin roll up per style.
Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's run on native EDI for bulk and drop ship, with GS1-128 labels and chargeback tracking. Consigned stock sits in its own warehouse for each consignee, so you invoice only what sold.
Market orders from JOOR, NuORDER and the RemoteLink iPad app, key accounts on the WebLink portal, and Shopify and Shopify POS all draw on one stock pool. Each Shopify store can sell in its own currency.
The sequence a luxury or contemporary label runs every season, and where AIMS360 holds it. Line sheets for market come from the same style records, and every order lands in one order book.
A luxury label's business is a short list of important doors, a showroom season, its own customers online and in store, and a quiet exit for what's left. Each one draws on the same small run of stock.
Luxury department stores. Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's buy on bulk and drop ship EDI. For Bergdorf Goodman, AIMS360 runs the 850, 856 and 810, the 855 and 860 where its requirements call for them, and sends the 846 so Bergdorf can see your inventory for drop ship.
Luxury online. SSENSE and Shopbop run on native EDI, and Farfetch selling runs from the same order and inventory record.
Showrooms and boutiques. Buyers order at market, from reps and on JOOR and NuORDER, and those orders land in one order book with rep commissions calculated off posted invoices.
Your own customers. Shopify and Shopify POS read the same stock as wholesale, including pre-orders against goods still in production. Shop-in-shops and consignment run from their own warehouse per partner.
International. Customers can be priced, invoiced and paid in their own currency, and a euro or pound Shopify store can feed a dollar company. See multi-currency ERP.
Off-price. End-of-season stock goes to Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx and Marshalls on EDI, and department store invoices can go to a factor through the native factoring workflow, with the capital and terms coming from your partner factor.
Three labels, and what each one runs on AIMS360. Generation Love, the premium denim names True Religion and MOTHER, LA's RTA and the luxury golf label G/FORE have run on AIMS360 too.
“It's easy to use and easy to learn.”
Lema Benton, VP of Logistics, Retrofête
Sequins, embellishment and occasion dressing sold on Shopify DTC, JOOR wholesale and retailer EDI, all fulfilled from one 3PL against one inventory record.
Read the Retrofête case study →Dresses, separates and knitwear cut and sewn in house in Los Angeles, sold to 300+ stockists in 35 countries including Nordstrom, Revolve, Saks Fifth Avenue and Shopbop, plus Shopify DTC and a boutique at Palisades Village.
Read the MISA Los Angeles case study →Moved styles, purchasing, inventory and shipping onto AIMS360, with a WFX PLM link so development data flows into the operating record and UPC stickers printed straight from the ERP for wholesale accounts.
Read the Clare V. case study →Luxury and contemporary labels usually come to AIMS360 from QuickBooks, Shopify and spreadsheets, or from a general ERP that holds finished goods but not fabric by the roll or retailer EDI. The apparel ERP guide covers the wider field, and the comparison pages go system by system.
One test settles most of it. Take one style in two colors and five sizes, forty units in all. Ask to see the fabric roll and dye lot behind it, a Neiman Marcus order on EDI, a Bergdorf Goodman drop ship order with the 846 going back, a JOOR order and a Shopify order against the same open to sell, and the closeout collection that only your off-price account can see.
AIMS360 fits independent designer, premium and contemporary labels from a first market season through department store programs, luxury online retailers and their own stores.
One that tracks fabric by dye lot and roll, runs small-run production with landed cost, ships the top department stores on bulk and drop ship EDI, keeps closeout prices away from full-price accounts, and sells wholesale, Shopify and stores from one open to sell. AIMS360 does all of that natively, and labels such as Retrofête, MISA Los Angeles and Clare V. run or have run on it.
Global houses with hundreds of their own stores usually run large enterprise suites with long implementations. Independent designer, premium and contemporary labels usually need an apparel ERP instead: style, color and size, fabric by roll, production, retailer EDI and Shopify in one system. That second group is who AIMS360 is built for.
Both run on native EDI, for bulk orders and drop ship. For Bergdorf Goodman, AIMS360 runs the 850, 856 and 810, supports the 855 and 860 where its requirements call for them, and sends the 846 inventory feed, which matters for drop ship. See Neiman Marcus EDI.
Yes. Consigned stock moves to its own warehouse for each consignee, so you can see what is out there and its value. As the partner reports sales, you pick and invoice what sold, and unsold units come back on a return. See consignment and shop-in-shops.
Build the closeout as a private collection on the WebLink portal and attach only the off-price accounts and the rep who covers them. Full-price buyers never see it. See private collections.
Yes. AIMS360 handles fabric by lot and by roll, stored at roll level in warehouse bin locations, so you know which rolls and dye lots went into which cut ticket and what is left.
Yes. Each customer can be priced, invoiced and paid in its own currency, and each brand can run several Shopify stores, each in its own currency, feeding a dollar company. See multi-currency ERP.
Yes. Import purchase orders carry landed cost onto the style, and gross margin reports show what each style earns. You can also ask ChatGPT or Claude about margin in plain English through the AIMS360 MCP connector, with answers from your live data.
AIMS360's own team runs the implementation, with a 97.5% project success rate and 99% of clients live within 90 days. Retailers you already ship are mapped and tested before go-live. See how implementation runs.
