AIMS360 is the ERP for workwear brands and uniform makers: the companies that design, source or sew work pants, shirts, jackets, career apparel and uniform programs, then sell them to uniform companies, workwear retailers, distributors and their own program accounts. Waist by inseam and tall sizes sit on one style, each program account gets its own styles and prices, and order and stock management for every channel runs from one record.
Parent industry: Fashion & Apparel ERP →This page is for the supply side: the brands, manufacturers and distributors that make and sell workwear and uniforms. An employer issuing uniforms to its own staff is looking for an employee uniform management tool, which is a different product. Scrubs and medical uniforms have their own page, Medical Apparel ERP.
A workwear line looks simple from the outside: a few core styles in a few colors. Inside, it is one of the deepest size grids in apparel, a book of program customers who each want their own version, and orders that repeat every week.
1. A size is two numbers. A work pant runs waist by inseam. Shirts and jackets run regular, tall and big. Each style carries a size scale of up to 24 sizes, so waist and inseam, or regular and tall, are set up as scales that match how you sell, each cell with its own UPC.
2. Core styles sell every week. The navy work pant in a 34 by 32 never goes out of season. A stockout in a core size sends a program account to another supplier, so replenishment reads sales, open orders and goods still in production together.
3. Program accounts are their own world. A hotel group, a utility or a school runs on its own styles, logo, prices and list of sites. That account sits in the same order book as your retailers and draws on the same stock.
4. A blank becomes many finished styles. One stock polo turns into a different finished style for every company logo stitched on it. The blank has to come out of stock when the logo version goes in, or the count is wrong for everyone.
5. Uniform companies and retailers buy on EDI. Cintas, Tractor Supply and the military exchanges send purchase orders by EDI and expect ship notices, GS1-128 carton labels and packs that match what they ordered.
AIMS360 runs all of that on one record: the style, color and size matrix, price categories per account, prepacks and case packs, blanks to finished goods, native EDI and the general ledger.
Waist by inseam or regular, tall and big sit on one style with a UPC per cell. If a buyer orders in case packs or mixed-size prepacks, AIMS360 holds the pack as its own unit, so the order, the GS1-128 label and the ship notice all describe the same pack.
Price categories put each program account on its own prices by style, color and size, with quantity tiers. Every site is a ship-to on the account. Private collections on the WebLink portal show each account only its program styles, and intelligent allocation fills orders by customer priority, down to the size.
A logo version is its own finished style mapped to the blank. A decoration job takes the blanks out of stock and brings the logo units in, with each stage tracked by contractor through production tracking. Sewn product runs on cut tickets, with fabric tracked by dye lot and roll.
The sequence a workwear or uniform supplier runs all year, and where AIMS360 holds it. Program accounts order on the portal, reps write orders on the RemoteLink iPad app, and uniform companies and retailers send EDI, all into one order book.
Most workwear and uniform suppliers sell through four or five channels at once: uniform companies, workwear and farm retail, military exchanges, distributors and their own program accounts, with a web store alongside.
Uniform companies. Cintas buys finished garments from outside suppliers and is a live AIMS360 EDI trading partner: the 850 in, then the 856 and 810 out from the packed shipment, with GS1-128 labels on every carton.
Workwear and farm retail. Tractor Supply, Boot Barn and Work 'n Gear each run their own EDI rules, mapped natively with chargeback tracking.
Military exchanges. AAFES, the Marine Corps Exchange, NEXCOM and the Veteran Canteen Service each run as their own trading partner on the same stock record.
Club and big box. Sam's Club, Costco, The Home Depot and Walmart buy workwear on EDI too, each with its own vendor rules.
Distributors and program accounts. Uniform distributors send purchase orders like any retailer, and the distributor model covers brands that buy and resell too. Program accounts order on your WebLink portal or through reps, and Shopify and Shopify B2B read the same stock.
AIMS360 has run apparel for 40+ years, and uniforms and workwear have always been part of that mix. Three pieces that are live now.
A live AIMS360 EDI trading partner. Purchase orders import as sales orders against your styles, colors and sizes, and the ship notice and invoice come from the shipment your team packed.
See Cintas EDI →The Garment Dye module maps a blank to every finished style made from it. Embroidery, screen print and heat transfer all run as decoration jobs that consume the blank.
How blanks become logo styles →Scrubs, lab coats and compression run on the same platform, with tall and petite lengths, group programs for clinics and hospital systems, and embroidery on the logo.
See Medical Apparel ERP →Workwear suppliers usually come to AIMS360 from QuickBooks and spreadsheets, or from a general ERP that treats every waist and inseam as a separate item. The apparel ERP guide covers the wider field, and the comparison pages go system by system.
One test settles most of it. Take one work pant in three colors, waists 30 to 44 and four inseams. Ask to see it as one style, a Cintas order on EDI against it, a program account ordering it at its own price, a decoration job turning blank pants into logo pants, and the carton label and ship notice for a prepack.
AIMS360 fits workwear and uniform suppliers that design, make or import their own product, from a handful of program accounts to national retail and uniform company programs.
One that holds waist by inseam and tall sizes on one style, gives each program account its own prices and catalog, ships packs that match the label and ship notice, and runs uniform company and retailer EDI from the same stock. AIMS360 does all of that natively, with EDI to 350+ retailers including Cintas and Tractor Supply.
AIMS360 runs the supplier side: the brand or manufacturer that makes, stocks and ships the uniforms. Tools that track which employee received which uniform for an employer are a different kind of software. If you make, import or distribute workwear and uniforms, AIMS360 is the ERP for that business.
Each style carries a size scale of up to 24 sizes, so two-dimension sizing such as waist and inseam, or regular and tall, is set up as scales that match how you sell. Every color and size cell has its own UPC, stock count and open to sell.
Yes. Price categories put each account on its own prices by style, color and size, with quantity tiers. Private collections on the WebLink portal show each account only the styles in its program, and every site the account ships to is a ship-to on the customer record.
Yes. Cintas is a live AIMS360 EDI trading partner. Its purchase orders arrive as the 850 and become sales orders, and AIMS360 sends the 856 ship notice and 810 invoice from the packed shipment, with GS1-128 labels on every carton.
Yes. The logo version is its own finished style mapped to the blank. A decoration job takes the blanks out of stock and brings the logo units in, and each stage is tracked by contractor. The same workflow covers screen print and heat transfer. See blanks to finished goods.
Stock, open orders and goods still in production sit on one record, so you can see which sizes are short before the orders land. Production purchase orders and cut tickets replenish them, and intelligent allocation assigns stock and incoming goods to orders by customer priority, down to the size.
Yes. AIMS360 holds a prepack or case pack as its own unit, so the order, the GS1-128 carton label and the ship notice all describe the same pack. See case packs and prepacks.
Tractor Supply, Boot Barn, Work 'n Gear, Sam's Club, Costco, The Home Depot and Walmart, plus Cintas and the military exchanges (AAFES, the Marine Corps Exchange, NEXCOM and the Veteran Canteen Service). Each is its own trading partner on the same stock record, with no per-document fees.
AIMS360's own team runs the implementation, with a 97.5% project success rate and 99% of clients live within 90 days. Trading partners you already ship are mapped and tested before go-live. See how implementation runs.
