Exenta ERP

Exenta (formerly Simparel), now part of the massive Aptean software family, is a specialized enterprise platform for fashion, apparel, and soft goods. It is frequently chosen by companies that have highly complex, multi-national supply chains and require intense visibility into where their goods are at any given moment on the globe. A major differentiator for Exenta is its Supply Chain Management (SCM) portal. This portal acts as a collaborative hub between the brand in New York and the contract factories in Vietnam or Bangladesh. The brand issues a purchase order through the portal. The factory logs in, updates the production milestones (e.g., "Fabric Received," "Cutting Started," "Sewing Completed"), and uploads the final inspection documents. This eliminates the massive, confusing email threads that usually plague overseas manufacturing. They also offer an incredibly robust Shop Floor Control module. Utilizing standard tablets mounted directly to sewing machines, the software tracks the exact efficiency of individual workers in real-time. If a specific sewing line is falling behind the day's quota, the floor manager is alerted immediately on their tablet, allowing them to shift personnel to break the bottleneck before the shift ends.
