B/CONNECT
The Collaborative-Operational Module
B/CONNECT enables the coordination of orders, production, logistics, and shipments with real-time visibility, covering the four key phases of the fashion supply chain: planning, production, delivery, and shipping.
Through its integrated structure, it connects brands, suppliers, and subcontractors in one single workflow, improving collaboration, transparency, and operational efficiency across every stage.

Planning
The planning phase allows brands and suppliers to align on delivery dates, production schedules, and order priorities. Through the negotiation interface, both parties can define timelines and confirm delivery plans, while production schedules are automatically adjusted to optimize efficiency and resource allocation. This creates a shared framework that supports smooth coordination between all stakeholders before production begins.
Procurement
The procurement process is supported by automated tools that evaluate supplier and production order prices, ensuring accuracy and flexibility. Price adjustments can be made dynamically in case of material shortages or production issues. During the booking order phase, brands notify material suppliers about subcontractor needs, aligning every party involved and ensuring seamless procurement coordination.
Production Tracking
B/CONNECT offers full end-to-end visibility during the production phase. Brands and subcontractors can track work order progress, submit additional material requests, and record material consumption in real time. The system also facilitates communication on production issues, from missing items to defects or rework, reducing inefficiencies and downtime.
Inventory management is seamlessly integrated, allowing the organization, storage, and tracking of work-in-progress materials and semi-finished goods, ensuring complete control and traceability.
Delivery
B/CONNECT manages materials and semi-finished goods through delivery notes and advanced shipping notices (ASN), guaranteeing transparency and alignment across all parties. Pre-packaging and shipping management tools enable brands to define packaging methods, while suppliers provide detailed package component information. Labels and shipping orders are automatically generated, ensuring coordinated and accurate deliveries throughout the supply chain.
Shipping & Accounting
Shipping operations are tightly connected to financial processes. Brands can review and approve additional costs, generate pre-invoices, and manage billing documentation before final invoicing, ensuring financial alignment between logistics and accounting departments.
Data Sharing & Governance
Beyond operational coordination, B/CONNECT enhances collaboration through centralized data sharing. Brands and suppliers can exchange master data, BOMs, technical documentation, product sheets, and certifications, creating a unified and traceable data ecosystem. This structured governance supports ESG reporting, compliance monitoring, and transparency across the entire fashion value chain.
The Result is a single collaborative module that connects planning, procurement, production, logistics, and governance into one integrated workflow, delivering real-time visibility, efficiency, and transparency for brands, suppliers, and partners across the global fashion supply chain.
