Knitting and Hosiery ERP

Knitting software for units that make knitted fabric and hosiery garments. Knits are bought, stocked and lost in kg, then sold in pieces, which software built for woven fabric in metres does not handle. This system works in kg, GSM and diameter throughout, and shows the loss at every process between yarn and garment.

Who uses it

What makes it different

Built for the way your trade works.

Knits are bought, stocked and lost in kg, then sold in pieces, which woven-fabric software does not handle. Suits knitwear clusters where one order passes through several job workers.

Knitting programme by yarn count, GSM, diameter, gauge and machine

02

Roll-wise knitted fabric stock in kg with lot and shade

03

Yarn-to-fabric reconciliation with knitting loss per programme

  • Job work chain: knitting, dyeing, compacting, printing, each with process loss
  • Fabric kg converted to garment pieces using size-wise consumption
  • Machine-wise production in kg with needle-break and downtime entries
  • Dyed fabric receipt checked for GSM, width, shrinkage and shade
  • Job work challans and pending stock at every outside processor
  • Knitting charge billing per kg with GST and e-way bill
How the work flows

A day's work, in order.

Step 01

Yarn purchase

Yarn comes in by count and lot, and is allotted to a knitting programme.

Step 02

Knitting on machine

Machines knit to the programme's GSM and diameter. Rolls are weighed and numbered.

Step 03

Dyeing on job

Grey rolls go to the dyer on challan. Pending kg stays visible.

Step 04

Finished fabric receipt

Dyed fabric is checked for GSM, width, shrinkage and shade, with process loss recorded.

Step 05

Compacting and printing

Further job work is issued and received the same way, each stage with its loss.

Step 06

Cutting or billing

Fabric kg converts to pieces for cutting, or knitting charges are billed per kg.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it reconcile yarn issued with fabric received?

Yes. Each knitting programme shows yarn issued, fabric knitted in kg and the knitting loss. If a knitter, in-house or outside, returns less fabric than the yarn should give, the shortfall is visible programme by programme.

Our fabric goes through several job workers. Can it follow that?

Yes. Knitting, dyeing, compacting and printing are each a job work step with their own challans. You see the stock lying at every outside processor and the process loss at each stage, for one order or for all of them.

How does it convert fabric in kg into pieces?

You set the fabric consumption per piece for each size of a style. The system uses it to tell you how many pieces a lot of fabric should give, or how many kg an order needs, before cutting starts.

Does it suit a unit that only knits on job work?

Yes. Party yarn is received, knitted and returned as fabric, with the balance tracked in kg. Knitting charges are billed per kg with GST, and machine-wise production shows how each machine ran.

Does Knitting and Hosiery ERP work on mobile?

Yes. It runs on Web and Android, so people on the floor, in the field or on the road work on the phone while the office works on the full screens.

Can Knitting and Hosiery ERP be changed to fit how my business works?

Yes. Kreon builds and supports it, so screens, reports, approvals and rules are shaped to your process. Tell us what is different about the way you work and we will show you how it fits before anything is built.
