I used to chase sample info across files and folders. Now I open one screen and it's all there.
Multi-Dimensional BOM
Built for Complexity, Designed for Clarity
BOM is the foundation of garment production, and Venus provides a multi-dimensional BOM to efficiently manage color and size variations. It enables seamless material mapping across different styles, ensuring accurate color- and size-specific BOM records.
This structured approach serves as a critical reference for MRP material planning, optimizing procurement and production efficiency. With Venus, you can define, review, and reuse BOMs across styles, seasons, and factories — with access to a centralized Component Library, structured Material Groups, and pre-configured Routing Groups for fast, accurate setup.
Total visibility into material costs and consumption is maintained at every step.
Key Highlights
- Material group support — group related materials for easy reference and reuse
- Component library access — quickly select standardized trims and fabrics across styles
- Routing group templates — apply predefined routing sets to speed up production planning
- Color/size matrix integration — automatically expand base BOM across all style variations
- Visual component grouping — organize trims, fabrics, and accessories by usage or process
- Material substitution options — easily switch components by vendor or availability

The BOM in Venus isn't just accurate — it's smart. It adjusts with every change in design or order.
Streamlined T&A Management
Full Visibility from Development to Delivery
Garment merchandising and production involve many critical tasks; missing deadlines can mean penalties or financial loss. Venus T&A Management provides comprehensive tracking and monitoring using predefined T&A templates to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and on-time execution.
The T&A calendar acts as a live operational dashboard. Track fit sample and PP sample status, fabric and garment test reports, bulk dye lot status, procurement, mill inspection, and dyelot-to-factory movement — all in one place with real-time updates and color-coded status.
Cross-department collaboration and exception alerts keep the whole team aligned so nothing slips through the cracks.
Key Highlights
- Style-level and order-level T&A — manage calendars across development and production
- Predefined milestone templates — quick setup with client-specific or internal presets
- Cross-department collaboration — assign, track, and follow up on tasks
- Live status tracking — real-time updates with color-coded status (on time, delayed, completed)
- Exception alerts & follow-up tools — automatic notification when tasks fall behind
- Track unlimited garment-specific tasks — fit sample, PP status, fabric procurement, and more

We finally have one place to see every critical date. No more chasing spreadsheets.
Intuitive Color/Size Table Entry
Color/Size Matrix — Smart Entry for Fast, Accurate Order Taking
Venus simplifies sales order entry with an intuitive color/size table format for style quantities and SKU quantities. Leverage size or color ratio-based allocation for auto-calculation so sales administrators and merchandisers work faster with fewer manual errors.
Enter orders visually across a matrix with predefined ratios, editable cell functions, and live balance tracking. Available-to-promise and open quantity are visible instantly. The matrix is integrated with BOM and costing so downstream logic is driven from confirmed order details.
Key Highlights
- Style-color-size grid entry — enter orders visually across a matrix
- Predefined ratios — auto-fill based on size ratio templates
- Editable cell functions — copy, paste, and drag-fill across the matrix
- Live balance tracking — see available-to-promise and open quantity instantly
- Integrated with BOM & costing — drive downstream logic from confirmed order details
- Quantity detail by color — collapse or expand for clarity

This matrix entry is brilliant. It's fast, flexible, and exactly how our team thinks.
Smart Job Order Consolidation
Optimize Production Without Losing Control
Venus combines multiple sales orders into a single job, consolidating color and size quantities in an intuitive table format. This streamlines production and material planning while the system automatically calculates material requirements in the Job BOM — reducing manual effort, minimizing errors, and improving efficiency for more agile factory operations.
Built-in visibility of available materials and cutting schedules allows planners to act with confidence, without over-ordering or delays. The workflow connects sales order management directly to production execution with full traceability back to the original order.
Key Highlights
- Cutting job consolidation — merge jobs by fabric or style to reduce material loss
- Process-based merging — combine orders by operation (e.g. same sewing spec)
- Packing logic control — maintain buyer-specific packing while consolidating production
- Traceability back to sales order — every bundle remains linked to the original order
- Workload optimization — balance line capacity by consolidating low-volume jobs
- Quantity detail by color and size — full matrix visibility in one screen
Job consolidation with filters by fabric, style, and destination for smarter cutting and sewing batches.
We used to run small jobs one by one — now we consolidate smartly, and production runs much smoother.
Smart Fabric Planning Workbench
From Forecast to Roll Allocation, Fully in Control
Fabric is the lifeblood of garment production. The Venus Fabric Planning Workbench is a powerful visual interface for estimating, allocating, and tracking fabric requirements from sample to shipment. It goes beyond traditional ERP with garment-specific logic: yardage by style-color-size, shrinkage and wastage, and roll assignment by warehouse or supplier.
Real-time shortage alerts flag gaps between order need and on-hand inventory. Teams can connect sales, procurement, and production so fabric reaches the right factory on time. The result is better utilization, fewer surprises, and clearer accountability.
Key Highlights
- Style-based yardage calculation — auto-estimate usage across matrix orders
- Roll-level allocation — assign fabric rolls to cutting jobs by width, yield, or origin
- Real-time shortage alerts — flag gaps between order and on-hand inventory
- Shrinkage & wastage control — build in percentage buffers automatically
- Color/size grouping — visual planning across SKUs with BOM-driven logic
- Integration with procurement and cutting — close the loop from plan to execution
Key details by width, length, job, and inventory — helping planners take action with clarity and speed.
We don't just see how much fabric we need — we see where it is, what it's for, and when it runs short.
Advanced Fabric Cut Marker Planning
Precise Marker Layout and Cut Planning for Maximum Yield
Venus Advanced Fabric Cut Marker Planning extends fabric control from roll allocation to the cutting table. Define marker layouts, nesting rules, and cut plans by width and style so planners optimize fabric usage and minimize waste. The module integrates with the Fabric Planning Workbench and job consolidation so cut orders align with production schedules and inventory.
Support for multiple marker types, size runs, and spreader assignments gives cutting rooms full visibility. Real-time yield and lay reports help teams hit efficiency targets and keep downstream sewing and finishing on track.
Key Highlights
- Marker layout and nesting — define layouts by width and style for maximum yield
