What changes when it is textiles & apparel
A webhook without signature verification is an open endpoint. Retries without exponential backoff are a denial-of-service attack on your own partners.
In textiles & apparel, margins are thin and small automation gains matter more than sophisticated ones. That single fact reshapes how api design & integration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is order and sampling documentation, usually integrated against production planning. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector
Can it detect fabric defects?
Yes, and it is a well-suited vision problem given controlled lighting on the inspection table. Accuracy varies by defect type and we report per class.
What about export documentation?
Document automation handles the repetitive assembly and validation, which is where errors and delays concentrate.
REST or GraphQL?
REST for partner-facing and public APIs where caching and simplicity matter; GraphQL where a first-party client needs flexible, varied queries. Most systems end up with both, used deliberately.
Do you document it?
Generated from the OpenAPI specification, with a working sandbox. Documentation written by hand and separately always drifts.
Can you integrate with legacy SOAP systems?
Yes, usually by wrapping them in a clean modern interface rather than exposing the legacy contract onward.
