The catalog that stays
Every garment is stored whole, and replenishment stops being a project
Everything hangs off a number. A product is set up once, and off that ID hang its pattern, its materials with their consumption rules, its operations center by center, its costing and the printfiles for every size. Six months later the club asks for four more shirts: you look up that ID and out comes the same garment, at the same cost, with no artwork to redo. Every garment is logged with its own tag. Replenishments follow the same production route.
Main process · 7 operations
This BOM inherits from the pattern: change the consumption on the pattern and it changes on every product that uses it. Any line you touch here is flagged as modified.
Cost per unit · size XL
Calculated for all eight sizes. If the fabric price goes up, every product in the catalog that uses it is recalculated — not this garment alone.
Printfiles by size
Every unit inherits its own, with its unit ID, number and name already in place. Nobody lays out artwork again to reorder.
CRM and club management
Your customer is not a company. It is a club with six teams and four sponsors.
A generic CRM knows that club will buy 9,000 € from you. It does not know that the senior women’s team carries the insurer’s sponsor centered at 20 × 6 cm and that the junior men’s team carries none. That is what gets produced, and that is what gets lost in an email.
Every column has a limit: if there are seven quotes sent with no answer, the problem is not a shortage of leads. And a stalled opportunity flags itself — «14 days in this column», «no next action».
What no generic CRM does
Compare the date you promised with your factory’s real lead time. If the process takes 25 days and 2 are left, the opportunity tells you before you accept it.
And the record of each club
- Rates · which products exist for that club and at what price, visible in its store or only to the club.
- Teams and sponsors · which garment each team wears and which sponsor goes where, with its placement and its measurements.
- Sales calendar · the buying and delivery waves, general or customized for that club.
- Its logo and its details · where production happens, not on somebody’s computer.
The real cost
What every garment costs, size by size
Every product inherits its materials and its operations from its pattern, and the cost is worked out for every size. Change a fabric price and the whole catalog is recalculated.

A 4XL costs 1.51 € more than an XS, and almost all of it is fabric. If you sell both at the same price, you know exactly what that decision costs you.
Combined processes
The lead time is set by the longest branch, not by the sum
A three-fabric sweatshirt is not one process: it is three running in parallel that meet at assembly. Sublier plans them as branches and waits for all three.
T1 Fabric 4 · sublimated
T2 Fabric 3 · sublimated
T3 Fabric 2 · dyed
Dyed fabric is not printed: it arrives with its color already in. Two steps and then it waits.
And when a center fills up, the order drops to the alternative one by itself. If even then the date does not fit, the system warns you in advance — not on delivery day — and puts both ways out on the table: a new date, or the overtime it would take to hit the date you promised.
Traceability
Every garment belongs to someone, and the system knows it
As soon as the club closes its collection, every unit gets its unit ID: size, number and name in one code. It is scanned at cutting, at the press and at the box. Whoever is at the station sees the garment, not a row in a spreadsheet.
And if something goes wrong, it is flagged as a rework right there. Nothing is lost: that garment is redone, not the whole order.
Reworks and reprocessing
The piece is redone, and the data stays
At the station there are only two buttons: if the garment is good, Complete; if not, Rework, with the reason and which parts failed. Sublier flags the issue on those garments, blanks out only the pieces that failed and sends them back to the print queue. Anyone gets that far. What changes is that those reworks group themselves to be redone in a batch, that you know why they keep happening and that the extra minutes and euros come off the order's margin — not off a hunch at the end of the month.
✓ Complete and it shows at the station
Every unit is scanned and closes itself. Nobody writes anything down on a sheet.
⚠ Rework and you mark what failed
Reason
Part
Those two pieces are left blank and go back to the print queue. The rest of the printfile is untouched.
Redoing only the marked pieces comes to 1.80 € and 8 minutes per garment. Redoing the whole garment is 5.30 €.
They group and replan themselves
The reworks of the day do not go one by one. They go into the next print batch together, grouped by fabric and process like any other order, and the system reassigns the center and the date. Nobody stops the production line for one garment or redoes it by hand at the end of the shift.
You know why they happen
Every rework has a reason, a part, a workstation and an operator. At the end of the month white interlock accounts for 61 % of all banding: that is a purchasing decision, not a suspicion.
You know what margin they eat
The minutes and the euros of reprocessing are added to the order's real cost. The margin you see is the one left after the errors, not the one in the quote — and when you bring them down a point, the factory keeps that point.
