A western shirt is neck by sleeve. A western jean is waist by inseam with a boot cut. Both sell through a dealer network of western stores, farm and ranch chains and tack shops that reorder the same core styles for years, plus the big western retailers with their own vendor manuals. AIMS360 was built on apparel matrices, production and native EDI, and it runs the dealer network and the retailer programs from one record.
Parent industry: Fashion & Apparel ERP →Whether you sell pearl-snap shirts to western stores, riding apparel to tack shops, or workwear to farm and ranch chains, the two-axis size run and the dealer order book are the first things the system has to get right.
A pearl-snap shirt runs 14.5 to 18.5 in the neck and 32/33 to 36/37 in the sleeve. A boot-cut jean runs 28 to 44 in the waist and 30 to 38 in the inseam, because the boot needs the length. A show coat runs by chest and length. The dealer who sold the 16 x 35 last month wants it again this month, and the style has been in the line since before the store opened.
Most apparel systems hold a single size list, so western brands end up splitting styles by inseam or sleeve, and the dealer order book turns into a spreadsheet of hundreds of small reorders.
AIMS360 holds the two-axis style, color and size matrix on one style record, replenishes by the cell that sold through intelligent allocation rules, and gives every dealer its own pricing, terms and order history in WebLink or through the rep in RemoteLink. The big western retailers run on the same record through native EDI.
Neck by sleeve and waist by inseam on one style, UPC per cell, dealer price sheets, and prepacks and case packs for the farm and ranch pack programs.
Boot Barn, Tractor Supply, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Scheels, Dillard's and Belk mapped natively, bulk and dropship, with the 856 and 810 off the same shipment.
Every dealer with its own pricing and terms, reorders on WebLink or written by the rep in RemoteLink, and wholesale, EDI and Shopify orders drawing from one open to sell.
The sequence a western brand runs, and where AIMS360 holds it.
Western sells through a dealer network of independent western stores and tack shops, a handful of large western and farm-and-ranch chains, the outdoor big box, and department stores in the West and South.
Western and farm-and-ranch chains. Boot Barn is the largest western specialty retailer and runs bulk and dropship on its own vendor manual; Tractor Supply buys workwear and western basics at farm-and-ranch volume. Both are mapped natively.
Outdoor big box. Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Scheels, Academy Sports + Outdoors and Dick's Sporting Goods carry western and outdoor crossover on their own programs.
Department stores and marketplace. Dillard's, Belk and Buckle are strong in western markets, and Amazon and Target carry the volume basics.
Beyond those, the same native EDI reaches the 350+ retailer network, and boutique wholesale runs as sales orders written in RemoteLink, WebLink or the B2B platform your buyers already use.
A western brand's volume is in its dealers: the family western store, the tack shop, the feed store with an apparel wall. Each one has its own price sheet, its own terms, its own rep and a reorder pattern that repeats for years. The big retailers are fewer and larger, and they run on EDI.
AIMS360 holds every dealer as an account with its own pricing and terms, lets the dealer reorder on WebLink without a rep, lets the rep write the order in RemoteLink at the counter or at Dallas market, and gives the equestrian and golf-style dealer programs a home in RepSpark where reps build assortments per account.
Every order, from the smallest tack shop to the Boot Barn 850, allocates against one open to sell, and the 2027 trade show calendar has WESA and AETA at Dallas market in January and August 2027.
Western brands usually arrive at AIMS360 from QuickBooks with a dealer list in a spreadsheet, or from a general ERP that could invoice a dealer but not hold neck by sleeve or a Boot Barn vendor manual. The apparel ERP guide covers the field.
The question to ask any system: show me one pearl-snap shirt in 20 neck-by-sleeve cells, 300 dealers with their own price sheets, and a Boot Barn 856, on one screen.

Finance. The 810 comes off the shipment; dealer terms and credit holds enforced at order; factoring runs as a native workflow.
AIMS360 fits western and equestrian brands from a first Dallas WESA booth through hundreds of dealers and the big western and farm-and-ranch chains.
One that holds neck by sleeve and waist by inseam on one style, gives every dealer its own pricing and a way to reorder, and runs EDI natively for Boot Barn, Tractor Supply and the outdoor big box. AIMS360 does all three on the same apparel matrix it has run since 1984.
As two-axis style, color and size matrix records, neck by sleeve for shirts and waist by inseam for jeans, with a UPC per cell, so a 16 x 35 shirt and a 34 x 36 boot-cut jean are cells on one style each, not separate products.
Yes, on WebLink, where each dealer sees its own price sheet, terms and order history. Orders queue for review and then import, so a credit hold or a duplicate PO is caught first.
Reps write them in RemoteLink on an iPad and they arrive as imported on reconnect. Dealers who buy by assortment can order in RepSpark, which imports orders as AIMS360 sales orders with the rep attached. The 2027 trade show calendar has the January and August 2027 dates.
Boot Barn, Tractor Supply, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Scheels, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Dillard's, Belk, Buckle and Amazon, natively, within the native EDI network of 350+ retailers.
Yes. Boot Barn bulk and dropship run as separate programs on the same record, with the 856 and 810 sent natively. See EDI dropship for how retailer dropship programs run.
Thresholds live per size cell in intelligent allocation and the purchase order or cut ticket is raised from the cells that are short, so the 16 x 35 is bought without buying the 18.5 x 37.
Yes. Shopify sees sellable inventory after dealer, EDI and marketplace commitments are subtracted, and Shopify B2B runs beside it for dealers who order on your site.

Waist by inseam by wash on one style; the wash as a production stage.
