What changes when it is textiles & apparel
Custom is right when the off-the-shelf product would need so many workarounds that you are effectively building software anyway, just in spreadsheets and email, where nobody can maintain it.
In textiles & apparel, margins are thin and small automation gains matter more than sophisticated ones. That single fact reshapes how custom software development 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 PLM. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

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.
Custom or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf whenever it fits. It is cheaper to buy and someone else maintains it. Custom earns its cost when your process is genuinely a differentiator, or when configuring a product would cost more than building the thing.
How much does custom software cost?
Driven by user roles, integration count and data complexity rather than by feature list length. We scope against a process map, which is why our estimates hold better than a number given on a first call.
Who owns the software?
You do, source, IP and infrastructure, transferred on completion. It runs in your accounts and keeps running without us.
