Affordable IT for Small Apparel and Textile Suppliers


Manchester UK: 18th July 2003

Specialist apparel and textile systems vendor, XeBusiness, today launched an entry level version of its powerful and widely used Xe-ERP business and information management system, specifically targeted at small garment, footwear and textile suppliers.

The entry level version of the product will feature all the core functionality of the fully loaded version, but will exclude features specifically included for managing high volumes of sales and purchasing transactions evident within medium sized and large suppliers.


Xe-ERP - Entry Level can be implemented in less than half the time and at a fraction of the cost of the full blown product and can easily and seamlessly be upgraded to it as soon as growth achieved by the smaller company requires it.

Depending on the size of company, number of user licenses and mix of software modules required, inclusive costs for apparel specialist and integrated sales order processing and invoicing, inventory management and global purchasing modules will start at £1500. The software can also be installed on a 'pay as you use' basis linked to a monthly all inclusive subscription charge starting at £95. To reflect the confidence that XeBusiness has in this new version of the product, it will allow the new client a month's usage of the software on a 'sale or return' basis prior to the client committing to either the capital purchase of the system or a subscription to continue to use it.

Commenting on the launch of this new entry level version of the XeBusiness product, Chief Executive, David Cullis said:

"Small apparel and textile suppliers have, in the past, been forced to use unsuitable cross industry small business accounting and stock control packages, spreadsheets and paper based systems to manage their businesses, putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage in so doing

Xe-ERP Entry Level will provide the industry specialist functionality these small companies desperately need to compete by providing them with the means to improve customer service response and reduce trading costs."
