ERP Multi Sidónios Seamless improving textile production efficiency at Sidónios, with digitalisation and integrated control.

How Sidónios Seamless Transformed Production Management with INFOS's MULTI ERP

Sidónios Seamless is today an international benchmark in the production of seamless clothing, distinguished by its innovation, quality and creativity. The technical complexity of this production model — marked by collections with a high multiplicity of SKUs, garments made up of several “tubes”, knitting machines of different diameters and a production process that runs simultaneously across different stages — made operational planning and control a daily challenge. The need to modernise processes, ensure traceability and eliminate errors became unavoidable.

It was in this context that Sidónios Seamless chose INFOS and the MULTI ERP as its technological partner to support its growth and face the challenges of modern textile production. The combination of INFOS's experience in the textile sector, specific expertise in seamless and the accounting and financial robustness of MULTI was decisive for this decision.

Digitalisation and Real Control of Production: The Impact of MULTI ERP

1. Technical Data Sheet and Product Development

The digitalisation of technical data — weights, measurements and characteristics of the tubes — made it possible to create a structured quality control process, support the assembly of dyeing batches and reduce human errors through barcode readings. The creation of technical histories also facilitated the development of new products, reducing the need for repeated tests.

2. Knitting Control

With the issuing and collection of production sheets, Sidónios began to monitor efficiency deviations in good time, anticipating problems and improving planning. Automation also helped the dyeing department to organise its daily loads and operations.

3. Defects, waste and consumption

Digital recording made it possible to create Pareto diagrams that supported continuous improvement decisions, already with significant results in operational effectiveness.

4. Yarn allocation and inventory

The automation of this process brought accounting rigour, the possibility of permanent inventory and the capacity to analyse deviations and optimise purchasing — something that was previously handled manually and after the fact.

5. Certificates and documents

With the growing demand for sustainability certifications, digitalisation became essential. MULTI eliminated bureaucratic tasks, reduced errors and facilitated audits by ensuring total traceability.

6. Dyeing batches and quality control

Barcode reading reduced errors in colour allocation and simplified the assembly of batches. The classification of products as Compliant / Non-Compliant / Rejected accelerated rework decisions and improved statistical control.

7. Subcontracting and logistics

The integration of work orders, transport documents and invoice checking made processes faster and fully aligned with one another.

8. Overall production management

With information on all orders, at every production stage, Sidónios gained holistic visibility, more efficient decision-making and the capacity to calculate the real profitability of each order.

Results Achieved

According to Sidónios Seamless, the most evident gains were:

  • Near real-time monitoring of all production stages;
  • Automation and digitalisation of critical processes;
  • Increased rigour in quality control, dyeing and inventory;
  • Integrated and immediate information for accounting and management;
  • Better analytical capacity for strategic decision-making.

The impact extended to every department: production, quality, accounting and management, with visible improvements in overall efficiency.

A Strategic Partnership for the Future

Sidónios highlights the close support of INFOS, with technical teams that demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the sector and the capacity to design solutions adapted to the company's real needs.

The future now lies in the expansion of Real Time functionalities and the integration of Artificial Intelligence tools, which will make it possible to process information in a more advanced way and further enhance operational efficiency.

To quote Sidónios, “We recommend INFOS because it offers a robust solution and a team that truly understands the business.”
