One Order,
One Record

One Supply Chain Record
per Order

Monolis is software unifying supply chain records spread across vendor HQ and overseas factories into one record per order, from order receipt to costing, materials & trims POs, production, warehousing, shipment and settlement.

M1 // SCOPE

Buyer Sends,
Monolis Runs

Scope of Monolis

It takes the specs sent by the buyer and ties the four work areas shared by vendor and factory into a single record per order.

1-A. Buyer Input, Vendor and Factory Supply Chain

From Four Work Areas Kept Separately by Vendor and Factory to One Order Record

The record of one apparel order spans four areas: order and costing, production planning, production execution and logistics.
Vendor HQ and the overseas factory both use all four but keep them in separate systems and Excel, so revised specs and quantities arrive by email a day late.
Buyer product planning (spec and sample revisions) is outside Monolis scope; Monolis takes the TechPack and P/O sent by the buyer as input.
Vendor HQ and the overseas factory keep order and costing, production planning, execution and logistics in separate systems and Excel, so revised specs and production quantities are reflected a day late.

M2 // LINEAGE

One Order,
Nine Steps

The Path of One Order Record

From P/O receipt to settlement, nine steps continue the same order record. The values of one step become the input of the next.

2-A. Nine-Step Spine

9-Step Order Flow Without Re-Entry, P/O Receipt to Post-Costing Settlement

The order number, style and BOM read from the P/O and TechPack carry the same values into the pre-costing, materials & trims PO, line assignment, warehousing and settlement screens.
Settled actuals calibrate the labor cost standard per operation and feed the pre-costing of the next order.
The order number, style and BOM read from the P/O and TechPack carry the same values through to the settlement screen, and settled actuals feed into the pre-costing of the next order.
