New York City-based Aria Systems Inc. — a producer of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for the apparel, accessories, footwear, home furnishings and textile industries — has developed a Workwear/Uniform Clothing Management (WCM) module for its ERP software. The WCM module allows workwear and corporate clothing suppliers to offer customized access portal websites to each client. These websites allow suppliers to place and monitor orders with email notifications, check and set up new locations and employees, track employees' ordering patterns and entitlements, track deliveries, request return authorizations and print management reports.

Aria reports such functions offer benefits including managing more customer accounts with fewer staff; individualized uniform packs, product catalogs and price tables for each customer; multi-level security and order approval levels; online client management reports; email notification of orders; and flexible inquiries about orders in process by client account, location and wearer, among other parameters.

According to the company, the WCM module can be fully integrated with all Aria modules and other ERP systems, and will help corporate clothing suppliers provide their customers with high-quality service on time at the right price in a competitive market.
