What changes when it is textiles & apparel
Most manual work in a business is re-entering data that already exists in another system. That is the cheapest automation there is, and it is routinely the last thing anyone builds.
In textiles & apparel, margins are thin and small automation gains matter more than sophisticated ones. That single fact reshapes how workflow & integration automation has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is export paperwork, usually integrated against PLM. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector
Can it detect fabric defects?
Yes, and it is a well-suited vision problem given controlled lighting on the inspection table. Accuracy varies by defect type and we report per class.
What about export documentation?
Document automation handles the repetitive assembly and validation, which is where errors and delays concentrate.
Do you use tools like n8n and Zapier, or custom code?
Both, chosen by fit. Off-the-shelf automation is right for straightforward flows; custom code earns its keep once volume, error handling or logic complexity grows.
What if a system has no API?
There is usually a path, database access, file exchange, or a supported export. We assess feasibility before quoting rather than after.
Who maintains it afterwards?
You do, and we write the runbook and documentation to make that realistic. We also offer a managed retainer if you would rather we kept it.
