What Makes BUSY Right for Garment Manufacturing Units

BUSY keeps fabric, BOMs, job work, work in progress, and finished pieces in one system, so you can check order status without relying on separate registers.

Fabric & Accessories Stock

Trims can run out and stop production. BUSY tracks fabric, buttons, zips, labels and accessories across stores, production areas and godowns.

Garment BOM & Planning

Material shortages can delay cutting. BUSY uses style-wise BOMs to calculate fabric and trims required for each order before production starts.

Job Work & Karigar Tracking

Material sent to karigars can be hard to track. BUSY records fabric issued, pieces received, pending quantity and charges karigar-wise.

Fabric Lot & Godown Tracking

Mixing fabric lots can cause shade mismatch. BUSY tracks fabric lot-wise across stores, cutting areas and godowns for better control.

WIP Tracking

Half-finished garments can be difficult to trace. BUSY keeps cut, stitched and semi-finished goods visible separately as Work in Progress.

Style, Size & Colour Tracking

Multiple sizes and colours make stock confusing. BUSY tracks garments by style, size, colour and design for clearer production and inventory.

Consumption & Wastage

Fabric wastage can reduce margins. BUSY records actual consumption, cutting wastage, damaged material and rejected pieces against production.

Costing, GST & Outstanding

Changing costs and pending payments affect cash flow. BUSY manages production costing, GST billing, e-way bills and party-wise outstanding together.

How Your Production Day Looks with BUSY

Step 1

Check Material Before You Cut

Open the fabric and trims stock report to see what is available by lot, color and godown against today's cutting plan. Shortages in fabric, buttons, zips or labels show here before the cutting table is set.

Step 2

Plan the Order from the BOM

Enter the order quantity and size breakdown, and BUSY reads the style's BOM to determine the required fabric and trims. Anything short goes onto a purchase order the same morning instead of stopping the line mid-lot.

Step 3

Issue Fabric to the Floor and Karigars

Record fabric issued for in-house cutting and fabric sent out on challan for stitching, embroidery or washing. Stock moves out of the store and sits either as work-in-progress or against the karigar it went to.

Step 4

Check What Is Still Pending

Check work-in-progress, pieces still lying with each karigar, and finished garments completed against every buyer order. Order status comes from a report instead of calling different people to check.

Step 5

Check Before Dispatch

Review finished quantity by size and colour, fabric consumed against the BOM standard, cutting wastage and pieces rejected as seconds. Confirm style-wise cost, then raise the GST invoice and e-way bill for dispatch.

From a 1,000-Shirt Order to On-Time Dispatch: How BUSY Helps

Kohinoor Apparels, Delhi

Kohinoor takes bulk shirt orders for retail chains, cuts fabric in-house and sends stitching out to four karigars in the same locality.

Without BUSY

A confirmed order for 1,000 shirts across four sizes and three colours went into production. Fabric issue was written in a register, challans to karigars sat in a diary, and finished pieces were counted only when they came back.

Eight days before delivery, the team spent a full day ringing each karigar to find out how many pieces were done, then discovered one size was short by 140 pieces because interlining had run out three days earlier and nobody had flagged it. The order shipped four days late.

With BUSY

The BOM now works out fabric, buttons, labels and interlining for the full order quantity, so the interlining shortage would have surfaced on day one.

Fabric issued to each karigar is recorded on challan and matched against pieces received, so pending quantity per karigar is on screen instead of on a phone call.

Kohinoor now checks size-wise completion daily, and the last three bulk orders went out on the committed date.

BUSY Reports for Garment Manufacturing Units

Fabric lying in the godown, pieces sitting with karigars, consumption against standards, and the percentage of each buyer order completed are important for managing garment production.

Fabric and Trims Stock Report

Check available fabric by item, lot, roll, colour and godown, along with trims and accessories.

Production Planning Report

Enter the order quantity and see fabric and trims required against stock, with shortages listed before cutting.

Fabric Consumption Report

Compare fabric actually consumed against the BOM standard to see where average consumption per piece is slipping.

Work-in-Progress Report

See cut and semi-finished quantity currently under production and not yet in finished stock.

Job-Work Pending Report

Check what was issued to each karigar, what has come back and how much is still outside, with charges.

Order-Wise Production Report

Review completed and pending quantity against every buyer order, size and colour wise.

Size and Colour Wise Stock Report

Check finished garment stock by style, size, colour and design before confirming a dispatch.

What Garment Manufacturers Say About BUSY

"We used to start cutting and find out four days later that interlining or labels had run out."

Now the full BOM is checked against stock before the order goes to the floor, and the shortage list goes to purchase the same morning.

Vishal Arora

Shirt Manufacturer, Delhi

"Finding out how much of an order was done meant calling four people and adding it up on paper."

Pending quantity with each karigar is on one screen now. What used to take half a day before every dispatch takes a minute."

Aman Gupta

Apparel Manufacturing Unit, Ludhiana

"Fabric consumption was an estimate we did after the order shipped, so we never knew which style was losing money."

We now see actual metres against the BOM standard for every lot, and two styles we thought were profitable turned out not to be.

Nishant Jain

Garment Manufacturer, Tiruppur
