Raw Materials & Purchasing – PO Management Software
Accelerate your product development lifecycle and improve purchasing through Zedonk’s intuitive raw material management.
Complete Library of Raw Materials
Manage every fabric, trim and stitch via a single raw material library shared by Z.Hub ERP and Z.Studio PLM. This ensures designers, sourcing and procurement teams all use the same verified specifications – reducing inconsistencies and version confusion.
Track detailed specifications including composition, width, and minimum order quantities to streamline your sourcing process. Integration with supplier catalogs ensures your material library stays current with real-time pricing and availability updates, making raw material purchasing straight forward and accurate.

Our intelligent purchase order software suggests optimal purchase quantities based on historical usage patterns and upcoming collection requirements. Real-time stock level monitoring helps prevent overbuying and ensures efficient inventory management across multiple locations.

Raw Materials & Purchasing FAQs
Can I manage different colourways and quality grades of the same material separately?
Yes, Zedonk allows separate entries for each material variant. In Z.Studio PLM, you define each colourway or quality grade as its own item, and it flows into Z.Hub’s central raw materials library. Each variant stays linked to the parent material with full specifications, making it easy to reference and order.
How does Zedonk's raw material library organise different types of materials?
Zedonk uses a single, centralised library (in Z.Hub, fed by Z.Studio) where all materials are categorised by type, season, and collection. Each item lists full details - cost, colour, supplier, and more - so design and production teams always see up-to-date information about available materials. Seasonal collections are clearly delineated, with active materials for each season shown alongside their costs and attributes.
How does your raw materials inventory software prevent stockouts and over-ordering?
Zedonk links your BOMs to your inventory, so you always know exactly what materials are needed and when. You can set dynamic reorder points based on lead times and demand, so the system automatically replenishes stock before it runs out. Real-time inventory tracking and integrated planning mean you won’t over-order or face unexpected shortages.
Can your purchase order software automatically calculate material requirements from BOMs?
Yes - Zedonk’s tools make BOM management seamless. In Z.Studio PLM, you build detailed tech packs (digital “recipes” listing all fabrics, trims, quantities, etc.), and Z.Hub uses those BOMs to auto-calc exact material needs for production. This end-to-end integration (PLM to ERP) ensures you order exactly the materials needed for each production run, avoiding shortages.
How does Zedonk's order management system handle seasonal collections?
Zedonk is built around seasonal collections. In Z.Studio and Z.Hub, each collection’s products, BOMs, and inventory are managed by season, so everything for one collection is grouped together. Materials used in multiple seasons can be tagged across collections but remain consistent through the integrated PLM/ERP system. This way you clearly see which products, materials and stock belong to each season, with all data flowing smoothly from design through production.
