For manufacturers

One workspace for every style — including the sample room

Apparel plants win European programs when every style’s suppliers, certificates, samples, and buyer requirements live in one place — not twelve inboxes. Pacod is the manufacturing workspace that keeps brand, plant, and supplier data on a single spine, with sample room tracking built in.

Who: Plant managers, merchandisers, and sample-room leads — primary workspace at /dashboard.

One place for every style’s truth

Apparel plants lose days reconciling buyer asks across email, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. Pacod keeps brand, plant, and supplier data on one style spine.

  • Style-centric workspace — suppliers, certificates, POs, and EU readiness under one style code
  • Cascade invites — push data collection to your mills and process houses instead of chasing PDFs yourself
  • Shared network with buyers and suppliers — fewer parallel portals, one product truth
  • Document trails buyers can review without inbox archaeology
  • EU readiness and compliance signals visible next to operational status

Sample room tracking

Sampling is where delays and revision loops hide. Pacod makes the sample room visible to the plant and the buyer.

  • Submit samples by type — pre-production, size set, production, and shipment rounds
  • Photo and measurement attachments on each sample submission
  • Buyer approve / reject / revision decisions tied to the same style record
  • Ongoing sample production visibility — active floor runs across styles
  • Station updates via phone link (/floor-update) for sample-line progress
  • AQL preferences from buyers lock into inspection plans when acknowledged — sample room and QMS stay aligned

Supply chain hub

  • Suppliers directory linked to styles and facilities
  • Purchase order intake and confirmation with your buyer programs
  • Certification uploads and expiry tracking on the plant side
  • Know Your Supplier and partner onboarding that scales with new European programs

Quality bridge to buyer QMS

  • Inspection AQL lock when the buyer uploads and you acknowledge preferences
  • Alignment with buyer QA schedules and evidence on the same network
  • Fewer surprises at final inspection because sample and AQL context already live on the style

Costing (factory-side)

  • CPH → CM → FOB calculator — rates, SAM, efficiency, materials
  • Private by default — margins stay on the factory side; share quoted FOB only when you choose
