The apparel ERP built for the production floor.
Kern ERP streamlines apparel and garment manufacturing end to end — from order and style management to production planning, inventory, and costing — now with AI document capture that does the data entry for you.
Every document your factory receives, read automatically.
Garment orders arrive as PDFs, emails, WhatsApp forwards, Excel sheets, and photographed challans. Kern AI turns each one into structured factory data — so your team stops re-typing and starts making garments.
Buyer POs
Drop a PDF purchase order — buyer, styles, quantities, sizes, prices, and delivery dates become a live order.
Emails
Forward a buyer email and AI reads the enquiry or order straight into your pipeline — no re-typing.
Tech packs
Tech-pack specs, measurements, and BOM details are extracted into the style master automatically.
A photographed order or a WhatsApp forward is turned into structured order data in seconds.
Challans & GRNs
Delivery challans and goods receipts are captured and reconciled against your POs.
Excel → masters
Point AI at an Excel, PDF, or price list and it builds your masters — items, fabrics, trims, and suppliers.
One system for the whole floor.
Every module speaks the apparel manufacturing language — and because AI captures the data, it's already there when you open it.
Costing
Budgeted, approved, and actual costing per style with margin visibility before you quote.
Order management
Buyer POs to packing lists — every order tied to its style, costing sheet, and line.
Production planning
Plan cutting and stitching against deadlines; surface bottlenecks before they delay shipments.
Inventory & GRN
Real-time stock, GRNs, and reconciliation against POs and delivery challans.
Style & sample
Style master, BOM, tech-pack specs, and development sample tracking in one place.
Reports
Margin per style, order status, and GST-ready exports for buyers and auditors.
From document to decision in three steps.
Capture
Upload a PO, email, tech pack, challan, or Excel — or snap a photo. AI reads it in seconds.
Review
Confirm the extracted order, style, or master. AI pre-fills; your team just checks.
Run the floor
Costing, production, inventory, and reports all work off the same clean, connected data.
Common questions about Kern ERP.
What is Kern ERP (C-Edge) and who is it for?
Kern ERP, also called C-Edge, is a cloud-based ERP built specifically for apparel and garment manufacturers. It covers costing, order management, production planning, inventory and GRN, and style/sample tracking in one connected system, so production, costing, and inventory all work off the same live data.
Can Kern ERP read buyer purchase orders automatically?
Yes. Kern ERP uses AI document capture to read a buyer PO — styles, quantities, sizes, prices, and delivery dates — straight from a PDF into a live order, without manual re-typing. It reads the same way from emails, WhatsApp forwards, tech packs, and Excel price lists.
Does Kern ERP handle costing and margin visibility?
Yes. Kern ERP tracks budgeted, approved, and actual costing per style, so margin is visible before a quote goes out, not after production. Costing is linked directly to order management and reporting, so every order stays tied to its own costing sheet.
How does Kern ERP manage production planning and inventory?
Kern ERP plans cutting and stitching against real deadlines and surfaces bottlenecks before they delay shipments. Inventory and GRNs are tracked in real time and reconciled against purchase orders and delivery challans, so stock data stays accurate without manual double-entry.
Is Kern ERP built only for the apparel and garment industry?
Yes — Kern ERP is purpose-built for apparel, fashion, and garment manufacturers specifically, not a generic ERP adapted for the industry. Its modules (style/BOM/tech-pack tracking, buyer-PO capture, costing per style) map directly to how garment production actually runs.
