ERP software for fashion and apparel distributors
Manage multi-brand catalogs, tiered retailer pricing, EDI compliance, and drop-ship workflows in one connected system.
Fashion distributors operate differently from the brands they carry. You are managing a multi-brand catalog where product data, images, and specs arrive from outside your organization. You are applying different price tiers, terms, and minimums to different retail accounts. You are handling EDI compliance for major retailers, often for multiple brand relationships simultaneously.
Uphance brings multi-brand product data, account-level pricing, built-in EDI, order management, and warehouse execution into one connected system. The result is a cleaner operational handoff between the brands you carry, the retailers you serve, and the warehouse that fulfills the orders.
Fashion distributors carry brands they do not own, serve retailers with different pricing tiers and compliance requirements, and often manage drop-ship alongside their own warehouse. Uphance is apparel distribution software that gives distributors one platform to manage product data across brands, tiered pricing by retailer account, built-in EDI, and warehouse execution without stitching together separate tools.
Trusted by modern apparel brands that can't afford disconnected operations
You are also coordinating drop-ship alongside your own warehouse stock.
When product data, pricing rules, EDI, and warehouse execution live in separate tools, the operational drag compounds fast. Retailer onboarding takes longer. Catalog updates require manual effort across multiple systems. EDI compliance failures create chargebacks. Drop-ship workflows generate exceptions that fall through the cracks between your order system and your warehouse.
What breaks at this stage
- Multi-brand product data management becomes an ongoing manual project as images, specs, and attributes arrive from different brand sources and need to be normalized across your catalog.
- Tiered pricing and customer-specific terms for different retailer accounts are maintained in spreadsheets, creating errors when orders are entered and making pricing audits painful.
- EDI compliance failures with major retail accounts generate chargebacks and require manual investigation because EDI lives in a third-party middleware tool disconnected from your order and warehouse systems.
- Drop-ship coordination breaks down when the routing logic between a retailer's PO, the brand supplier, and your warehouse is managed across email and separate order systems.
- Inventory visibility across owned stock and drop-ship commitments is unclear, making it difficult to give retailers accurate availability information at the time of order.
- Reporting across brands, retail accounts, and channels requires pulling data from multiple sources, so business performance takes days to produce instead of being operationally current.
