From spinning to shipping, without losing traceability.
A complex chain, tight collection cycles, extensive subcontracting networks. INFOS has operated in textiles for decades.
Portuguese textiles are one of the most internationalised sectors of the national economy, exporting to European and American chains that impose standards of quality, traceability and timing that 1990s operations cannot withstand. Producers in the Ave Valley, Famalicão and Guimarães have faced the same pressure for years: shrinking collection cycles, tightening margins, and a subcontracting network that is ever more geographically distributed (Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, Asia).
In this reality, verticalised software is no longer a management option but a condition for survival.
A single T-shirt model can have 8 colours × 6 sizes × 4 batches — 192 SKUs in practice, all traced back to the raw material. Generic ERPs break under this combinatorics; they need heavy customisation. An ERP verticalised for textiles (such as MULTI) assumes this structure from the outset.
Portuguese textile brands frequently subcontract garment-making across multiple units (Portugal + Morocco + Turkey). Coordinating orders, negotiating deadlines, recording defects with photographic evidence and reconciling delivered against invoiced quantities requires a shared B2B platform, not emails and phone calls.
When you cost the garment at month-end, the margin you thought you had may have evaporated weeks earlier. Capturing production times as they happen (shop-floor mobility) feeds the real cost of the garment in real time, letting you intervene before the collection closes.
From the design brief to production — through physical samples, tech packs, bills of materials and pricing — everything has to live in the same system. Integrated PLM + ERP + subcontracting portal eliminate reconciliation cycles and accelerate time-to-market.
Each INFOS product connects to concrete challenges in the sector. The recommended combination comes from real implementation experience.
The MULTI ERP manages finance, purchasing, stock, production, sales, and multi-company, multi-currency consolidation. Item structures with a colour-size-batch matrix are core, not an add-on.

Every INFOS project starts with an on-site assessment and ends in a long-term relationship. It's been this way for 36 years.
We start by understanding the client's business. Our team visits the premises, talks to the people who will use the solution and maps processes as they actually work.
We design the solution together with the client. We define modules, integrations, data to migrate and approval flows. Everything is validated before any configuration.
Configuration, role-based training and a controlled pilot before go-live. The INFOS team is on site at go-live to support the switch and handle the unexpected.
Ongoing support, functional evolution and periodic reviews. INFOS clients stay with us for 15 years on average — the relationship doesn't end at go-live.
No complicated forms. One email or call, a team that knows your sector, and a concrete path forward — whether MULTI, MAXIRETAIL, KORA, PPLPORTAL or infrastructure.
