Textile & Apparel

The collection enquiry sits in one place, the contract order somewhere else entirely.

Rocketly links collection, sample and contract manufacturing enquiries from Instagram, WhatsApp, email and trade-show follow-ups to a single buyer record. Size chart approval, fabric and trim sourcing, quality notes and shipping all move on one screen.

Where Season Collections and Contract Orders Lose the Thread

Collection, sample and contract manufacturing enquiries sit in Instagram messages, WhatsApp threads and one rep’s mailbox, so who answered which buyer stays unclear.

Colour cards, lab dip approvals and size chart revisions travel in separate threads, so which approved version reached the workshop has to be reconstructed afterwards.

Fabric yardage, trims and labels come from different suppliers, and no shared record shows which order is waiting on which material.

Quality notes, measurement deviations and wash test results stay on paper in the workshop, so the same defect shows up again in the next production run.

An export buyer’s season calendar, labelling requirement and shipping request run in another language, so the first sample thread never connects to the order record.

How Collection and Contract Enquiries Reach You

Instagram DM and Collection Posts

A brand manager who sees a style photo usually writes by DM; story replies land in the same conversation so the first contact is not lost.

WhatsApp Business

Quantity range, fabric composition and sample status questions arrive here as quick messages and attach to the same order record.

Email and Tech Pack Attachments

Export buyers send size charts, labelling specifications and tech packs by email, and the attachments stay on the buyer record.

Website Sample Request Form

A form with style group, quantity and delivery expectation turns an incoming enquiry straight into a classified record.

Fair and Showroom Visit Notes

Cards from fairs and showroom visit notes are imported in bulk and each is matched to the responsible export rep.

Your Own Online Store

Firms with a retail side pass store order notifications into the same workspace through a webhook connection.

What Rocketly Does Inside Your Apparel Office

Bring Collection and Contract Enquiries into One Inbox

Instagram DM and story replies, WhatsApp Business and a personal line, email, Telegram, web forms and the chat widget merge on one screen. Rocketly supports 12 channel types; the company decides which ones to open.

A Season Pipeline from Sample Request to Shipment

Build your own stages: Enquiry → Sample → Sample Approval → Price and Quantity → Order → Fabric Sourcing → Production → Quality Control → Shipment. The board shows where each style is waiting.

Attach Colour, Lab Dip and Size Chart Approvals to the Record

Colour cards, lab dip photos, tech packs and size chart versions from the buyer land on the buyer record, so which approved version went to the workshop stays readable.

Separate Fabric and Trim Sourcing into Tasks

Fabric, lining, buttons, zips and labels open as separate tasks, each with an owner and an expected supplier confirmation date. When a missing material blocks a stage, it becomes visible.

Document the Quote with Quantity, Fabric and Timing Terms

Build style-level unit prices, quantity breaks, fabric composition and validity terms into a PDF quote, share it through a buyer-specific link and follow approval status from the record.

Collect Quality Findings on the Order Record

Measurement deviations, stitching defects and wash test findings become tasks; the correction request and its result are written back. The next run reads that style’s history in one place.

Run Multilingual Threads with Export Buyers

The interface is available in 3 languages, and the buyer’s conversation language, time zone and season calendar are noted on the record so follow-up tasks fit their timing.

AI Reply Drafts and Season Thread Summaries

AI drafts replies from your style and process knowledge base and summarises a season-long thread. It does not decide fabric price or delivery timing; the team approves the content.

Reports by Season, Style and Buyer

With 38 ready-made report types, judge from your own data which style moves from sample to order and which buyer returns for the next season.

Where AI Steps into Sample and Order Threads

AI can prepare drafts and summaries from conversation context; your team decides what is shared with customers.

Drafts Replies

Produces drafts for recurring questions about style groups, fabric options and the sampling process from your knowledge base; the rep edits and decides whether to send.

Summarises the Season Thread

Compresses sampling, revision and order messages across a season so the rep taking over sees the context without reading it all.

Tags the Enquiry by Style Group

Suggests a style group and season tag from the thread and its attachments; the team confirms the tag and routes it to the right rep.

Never Sets Fabric Price or Season Timing

AI does not calculate yardage, quote fabric prices, read workshop load or promise a delivery date. Those belong to your sourcing, pattern room and planning teams.

The Road from a Collection Enquiry to a Contract Shipment

01 · CONTROLLED HANDOFF

Turning an Instagram collection enquiry into a sample

01

A brand manager DMs under a collection post asking about a style and quantity range; the message lands in the inbox and a buyer record opens.

02

AI drafts a reply from your style and fabric knowledge base; the rep asks for the tech pack and size chart and sends it.

03

The tech pack that arrives is attached to the record, style code and season tags are set, and a sampling task goes to the pattern room.

04

When the sample ships, the record moves to Sample Approval and a feedback task opens.

05

On approval, a price and quantity quote is prepared, shared through a buyer-specific link, and the order stage begins.

Tracking fabric and trim sourcing on a contract order

Separate sourcing tasks open on the order record for fabric, lining, buttons, zips and labels.

Each task carries an owner and the confirmation expected from the supplier; a late confirmation pushes the task up the list.

When the material reaches the workshop the task closes and the record moves into production.

If an item is still missing, a status summary is drafted for the buyer and the team approves and sends it.

Carrying a quality finding into the next run

A measurement deviation or stitching finding from inspection is written to the order record as a task.

The correction request is assigned to the workshop supervisor, and the result and recheck note land on the same record.

When wash and colourfastness results arrive, the report is attached and a summary is drafted for the buyer.

When the same style is reordered, past findings are read from the record and added to the preparation task.

Renewing an export buyer’s season order

Buyers who ordered in previous seasons are segmented by style group and season tag.

As the new season calendar approaches, a task opens for the responsible export rep.

The follow-up sequence drafts the collection announcement; the team approves the wording, the images and the recipient list.

Buyers who reply move to the sample stage; the rest receive a second-contact task.

Flows for Sampling, Fabric Sourcing and Quality Control

Use these examples to discuss triggers, owners and review points before configuring your own process.

Receiving a New Collection Enquiry

So the rush at the start of a season never waits unowned

1

Trigger: a new record arrives from a connected channel or the sample request form.

2

Condition: assign the matching rep by style-group tag and buyer country.

3

Action: move the record to Sample, request the tech pack and prepare a reply draft.

4

If no contact is made within your chosen interval, notify the export manager.

Fabric and Trim Confirmation Chain

So an order does not sit silently on a missing material

1

Trigger: sourcing tasks open when the record moves to the Order stage.

2

Condition: if the expected confirmation date has passed, the task is raised and the owner is reminded.

3

Action: a status summary for the buyer is drafted; the team approves the wording and the send.

4

When every item is confirmed, the record moves to production and the pattern room is informed.

Quality Finding and Correction Follow-Up

So the same defect does not repeat in the next run

1

Trigger: a quality control finding is added to the order record.

2

Action: the correction task is assigned to the workshop supervisor and a recheck step is planned.

3

Condition: the record cannot reach the shipment stage while the finding is open.

4

When the style is reordered, past findings are added to the preparation task.

The First Week of Setup in an Apparel Office

Use these steps to review your process, responsibilities and permissions before going live.

1

Define the team and style-group ownership

Create sales, export, pattern room and quality control users, and use roles to limit who sees which buyer record, tech pack and quote.

2

Build the season pipeline and style groups

Define style groups and season tags, name the sample-to-shipment stages the way you work and write down the document each stage must produce.

3

Connect channels and the sample request form

Connect Instagram DM and the WhatsApp line, add the corporate mailbox and place a sample request form with style group and quantity fields on your site.

4

Fill the knowledge base and quote template

Write style groups, fabric options, quantity breaks and quality processes. For price and timing questions, define a redirect to sourcing and planning.

5

Test the first three flows on sample records

Try collection enquiry intake, the sourcing confirmation chain and quality finding follow-up on test records before opening them to live buyer communication.

6

Set up reports and mark the system boundary

Open season, style group and buyer reports. Cutting plans, pattern software and ERP run in parallel; Rocketly is the sample, order and buyer communication layer.

What Textile and Apparel Companies Ask Us

Rocketly is the communication layer of collection and contract selling: sample and production enquiries from connected channels attach to one buyer record, sample approval, fabric sourcing, quality control and shipping stages are tracked, and season follow-up is configured. Cutting plans, pattern software and ERP keep running in parallel; Rocketly does not take their place.

Tech packs, colour cards, lab dip photos and size chart versions from the buyer attach directly to the buyer record; each new revision lands on the same record and the previous version stays archived. Because sampling, shipping and feedback open as separate tasks, which approved version reached the workshop never becomes a dispute.

Yes. You open separate tasks on the order record for fabric, lining, buttons, zips and labels, each carrying an owner, a supplier and the confirmation date you expect. A late confirmation pushes the task up the list so it is obvious which item the order is waiting on. With the Inventory add-on you can also keep your own material records.

Yes. Measurement deviations, stitching defects and wash or colourfastness results are written to the order record as tasks and notes; the correction request goes to the workshop supervisor and the result lands on the same record. When the style is reordered, past findings are read from the record. The quality decision stays with your lab and inspection team.

No. Fabric price depends on supplier confirmation, yardage and currency terms, while the season delivery date depends on your cutting and sewing plan and workshop load. Rocketly does not produce those decisions. It routes the buyer’s question to the right owner as a task and writes the returned price and date onto the quote and the record.

The interface is available in 3 languages: Turkish, English and Russian. The buyer’s conversation language, time zone and season calendar are noted on the record and follow-up tasks are planned around them. A season-long thread can be summarised, so the rep taking over the account does not reread months of messages.

Workflow Builder ships with 55 templates and 46 trigger types. You build flows around the season calendar, the sample shipping date or a stage change. The collection announcement draft and the recipient list are prepared, while image selection, final wording and the decision to send stay with your team.

Apparel firms with a retail side can bring order and customer notifications from their store platform into the CRM through a webhook connection, so wholesale buyer threads and direct consumer enquiries appear in the same workspace. Order fulfilment and shipping operations continue to live in your store platform.

Yes. Bulk import runs from CSV, Excel, VCF and Google Sheets, mapping company name, contact, country, style group and custom fields. Business-card lists from fairs and showroom visits load the same way. Checking the mapping with a sample file before the full import reduces the risk of duplicate records.
