Raw Materials & Purchasing – PO Management Software
BEFORE THE RUNWAY, THERE’S THE RAW REALITY OF ROLLS, TRIMS, AND LEAD TIMES. WE’VE BUILT A HOME FOR YOUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU CAN TRACK EVERY METER OF SILK AND EVERY CUSTOM BUTTON. IT’S PO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THAT FEELS LESS LIKE “DATA ENTRY” AND MORE LIKE YOUR STUDIO’S SECRET WEAPON.
Where product creation meets total clarity
We know the feeling: you’ve found the perfect deadstock lace or the exact shade of organic cotton, but then the logistics kick in. How much do we need? When does it arrive? Did we actually pay the supplier?
Product creation is a beautiful, messy process. We’re here to tidy up the messy parts. We bridge the gap between your creative vision and your supply chain, making sure your materials are where they need to be, exactly when you need them.
Purchasing without the “techy” headaches
A lot of PO management software feels like it was designed for a factory making car parts. We’re fashion people, we know that “sourcing” is an art form.
We’ve kept our tools simple, smart, and human:
- Smarter Product Development: Link your raw materials directly to your designs. When you update a fabric price, your costings follow suit. Magic.
- Effortless PO Management: Create, send, and track purchase orders in a few clicks. We’ll help you keep an eye on your commitments so you never over-order (or run short mid-production).
- Supplier Harmony: Keep all your vendor details, lead times, and minimum order quantities in one place. It’s like a digital Rolodex, but much more clever.

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.
