cost
“Know your cost-per-unit before you order a single yard of fabric. What used to require weeks of supplier quotes and spreadsheet formulas now takes seconds.”
The Traditional Way
Costing shouldn't be guesswork.
Understanding your production costs is critical — it determines your retail price, margins, and whether your business is viable. But getting accurate numbers has always been difficult:
Weeks of supplier quotes
Email 5 fabric suppliers, 3 trim vendors, 2 factories. Wait days for each quote. Compare in a spreadsheet. Repeat when anything changes.
Spreadsheet chaos
Material costs, labor rates, overhead, shipping, duties — all in different spreadsheets with formulas that break when you change one cell.
Inaccurate margins
Without precise cost data, designers price by gut feeling. Margins are either too thin (losing money) or too high (losing customers).
Redo everything per colorway
Different colorways use different fabrics and trims. Each variation needs its own cost sheet — multiplying the work.
