full feature overview

Every TRIMIT Fashion feature, from style creation to shipped orderl

TRIMIT Fashion is built as an industry extension on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Rather than replacing Business Central's core finance, purchasing, sales, and inventory functionality, TRIMIT adds the layer that fashion and apparel companies actually need on top of it: style-based product management, variant and matrix handling, collection planning, and demand cycles built around seasons rather than static stock levels.

Below is a complete overview of what TRIMIT Fashion covers, organised by the stage of the product and order lifecycle it supports. Each section links to a dedicated page with more detail — or see our Fashion ERP FAQ for answers to specific questions.

Product Data Management (PDM): variants, measurements, and costing

TRIMIT's PDM puts every style, variant, measurement, and material in one place. A single style — what TRIMIT calls a Master — holds an unlimited number of colours, sizes, and other variants, all displayed as one colour/size matrix across PDM, sales, inventory, production, and purchasing.


TRIMIT stores a full measurement chart per style and size, with grading — enter the measurements once for a base size and grade the rest automatically. Material composition and wash/care labelling are managed at the style level, and a built-in, spreadsheet-style calculation tool lets teams model cost and sales price scenarios before a style is committed to production. New styles can be built from scratch with a guided wizard, or copied from an existing style — including images, materials, and grading. A Group Master links styles that share raw materials, so a colour change propagates automatically across every style using it.


Assortments package multiple variants of a style — for example a fixed multi-size pack — into one sellable unit that can be ordered directly on sales, purchase, production, and transfer orders, instead of entering every variant separately.

Collection Management: collections, private label, and matrix limitation

Collection Management structures your styles into collections tied to a delivery period, controlling what's sellable — and when — without manual tracking across spreadsheets and calendar reminders. Sales prices can vary by collection, so last season's stock automatically carries a different price than the new collection.


Private label collections and styles can be restricted to specific customers or countries, so restricted product never reaches the wrong buyer by mistake. For styles with large colour/size ranges, matrix limitation lets sales and purchasing teams filter a grid down to just the relevant options for a given order, instead of scrolling through combinations that were never meant to be sold.

Sales and Order Management: matrix ordering, pricing, and documents

Sales and Order Management puts variant-based ordering directly into a colour/size matrix, with live pricing and inventory data shown inline — built for the speed wholesale ordering requires. Order types separate pre-sales of a new collection from after-sales of previous ones, and available-quantity calculations pull from inventory, open sales orders, purchase orders, and production orders to give an accurate promise date when stock isn't immediately available.


Blanket orders manage framework agreements with customers, and pricing, discounts, and campaign pricing can be set globally, per customer, per colour/size, per collection, or per period. Sales confirmations, shipping documents, invoices, and credit memos support flexible layout options and can be auto-emailed using templated messages.


Consignment stock can be pushed to customer shops and invoiced based on reported sales, with automatic replenishment parameters at the shop level. Sales commission can be set up per salesperson, with different rates by customer or item group, and bonus schemes reward customers for reaching purchase thresholds by order, season, or collection.

E-Commerce and B2B Trading: self-service ordering and returns

TRIMIT's B2B Webshop gives wholesale partners access to product and inventory information, account statements, and order placement — 24/7, directly from their store or mobile device. A separate Sales Agent Portal gives direct sales teams the same speed for placing orders and managing returns on behalf of their accounts.


Wholesale customers and your own shops get availability and delivery-time visibility, return registration, and back-in-stock subscriptions for items that are temporarily unavailable. Product images and descriptions shown across both portals are managed centrally through TRIMIT's product information tools, so what buyers see always matches what's actually in PDM.


For live order visibility, the InSite portal gives a reporting view based on open and posted sales orders — goods sold and goods still to be delivered — as an alternative to standard sales statistics.

Logistics and Warehouse: allocation, picking, and container management

Logistics and Warehouse functionality in TRIMIT allocates available stock across competing sales orders with a configurable proposal — manually overridable when a judgment call is needed — and generates picking documents that include only stock that's physically in the warehouse and unshipped. Picking can be sequenced by order date or by a defined delivery priority.


For companies managing external freight, Container Management tracks inbound, outbound, and inter-warehouse shipments, linking sales, purchase, transfer, and pick documents to a container. Changing a single receipt or shipment date on the container updates every connected order automatically.

Purchasing and Supplier Collaboration: demand-driven buying

Purchasing and Supplier Collaboration in TRIMIT uses the same matrix view as sales and PDM, so buying by colour and size stays consistent across the system. Special or made-to-order purchases can be generated directly from a sales order, keeping them clearly linked and trackable outside standard demand planning. Purchase orders can also be generated automatically by the demand planning engine, which selects the right vendor per style.


For external suppliers, the Web Supplier portal gives vendors direct, real-time access to the specifications they're producing against, including the latest PDM changes as soon as they're entered. Receiving can be posted directly against the purchase order, with shortages and surpluses handled explicitly.

Production and Demand Planning: seasonal vs. NOOS planning

Production and Demand Planning calculates purchase and production needs from a selected set of sales orders or items, working down through the bill of materials, and generates the resulting purchase, production, and transfer orders automatically. Seasonal styles and Never-Out-Of-Stock (NOOS) styles are planned separately: seasonal demand is typically calculated once pre-sales closes, while NOOS planning combines sales data with minimum stock levels and can run weekly.


Item tracking assigns serial or lot numbers automatically at production completion, following the item through to the warehouse pick, so staff already know which lot to select for a given shipment.

Claims and Returns: automatic documents by claim type

Claims and Returns functionality in TRIMIT pulls the original invoiced style, quantity, and price directly into the claim record, and automatically re-applies the correct original price and discount. Claims can be registered by the customer directly through the B2B Webshop or Sales Agent Portal, with communication handled through the same channels.


Depending on the claim type, TRIMIT generates the matching document automatically: a credit memo for refunds, a return order for refunds-on-return, a sales order for replacements, or a repair document. Claim statistics are available to track recurring issues by type.

Financial Management: invoicing, intercompany, and unit cost

Financial Management in TRIMIT can trigger invoicing at the moment a truck is loaded, with documents generated and attached directly to the shipment. Consolidated invoicing merges multiple orders on the same shipment into a single invoice automatically.


For groups with a central purchasing or production entity and separate sales entities across markets, Intercompany functionality gives cross-company stock visibility, with a replication tool to copy style data between companies. Unit cost can be calculated from last direct cost, from the bill of materials, or from a full custom calculation model, with indirect costs like freight, duty, and handling tracked separately.

Reporting, Sustainability, and BI: data you can act on

TRIMIT's reporting and sustainability tools attach data — water and electricity usage, CO2 emissions, certifications and their expiry dates — at style or vendor level, and surface it to customers as searchable tags in your e-commerce channels.


Sales statistics can be built and saved as reusable setups, broken down by country, salesperson, customer, style, or colour, so recurring reports don't have to be rebuilt from scratch. For deeper analysis, TRIMIT integrates with Power BI and other reporting tools to turn operational data into dashboards.

Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

TRIMIT Fashion is fully embedded in Business Central rather than bolted on as a separate system — General Ledger, purchasing, sales, and inventory come from Business Central itself, with TRIMIT extending them for fashion. That means TRIMIT inherits Microsoft's release cadence, plus TRIMIT-specific minor releases, and Business Central's own tailoring tools remain available for company-specific customisation where needed.
