ApparelMagic
by ApparelMagic
Cloud ERP for apparel and fashion brands: styles with size and color matrices, tech packs and BOMs, production projects with vendors, purchasing, wholesale ordering, B2B stores and its own general ledger. Public material is marketing and pricing pages; the help center needs a login.
Why it is classified this way
We call this a Manufacturing ERP product. A broad business system (accounting, sales, purchasing) with a substantial manufacturing or planning module attached.
It is not labeled Full MRP because we have not verified that it accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule; nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming; explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials; uses lead times or required dates; and produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations. That is a statement about the evidence we found, not a claim that the product is weak, see the capability table and the sources below.
The six Full MRP tests, and how ApparelMagic does on each (1 of 6)
- YesIt represents a bill of materials, recipe, or formula.Evidence: apparelmagic.com › Inventory management(opens in a new tab); apparelmagic.com › Manufacturing production(opens in a new tab)
- PartialIt accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- PartialIt nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- PartialIt explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.The vendor says it "calculates sales demand and material requirements" for production projects and shows requirements "for sales orders, manufacturing projects, or system-wide". That is demand turned into material requirements, but it is marketing copy with no public documentation of a planning run. apparelmagic.com › Manufacturing production(opens in a new tab)
- UnknownIt uses lead times or required dates.Not established. No evidence found yet.
- PartialIt produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
These rules are applied identically to every product and enforced at build time, a record cannot be published as Full MRP unless all six pass with a source attached. Read the methodology.
Best for
- Apparel and footwear brands that make through outside factories and sell wholesale
- Brands that want styles, tech packs, production, orders and the books in one system
- Wholesalers who need line sheets and a B2B store alongside production
Not a fit when
- Manufacturers who need dated material planning: nothing public shows order-by dates
- Shops that run their own machines and need routings and capacity
- Teams that need the API on the entry plan: it starts at Enterprise, $655 a month

Editorial notes and cautions
Things we would want a friend to know before buying.
- Everything public is marketing and the pricing page; the help center needs a customer login, so no workflow here is documented in detail.
- Monthly billing is still an annual commitment: $356 a month on Professional versus $337 paid annually.
Alternatives to ApparelMagic
An alternative is always an alternative for a reason. There is no universal replacement.
Compared on Uphance's page, where we wrote: "ApparelMagic covers the same ground for apparel brands, with tech packs, production with vendors and its own ledger, and it publishes its plan prices."
Evidence and verification
Why this record is not Verified. Com needs a login and the MCP page sat behind a bot check, so every claim rests on marketing copy; held at partially verified for that reason.
Researched 2026-09-19 from the pricing page (including the plan comparison table, read from its HTML) and the manufacturing, inventory, accounting and integration pages. The help center at apparelmagic.zendesk.com needs a login and the MCP page sat behind a bot check, so every claim rests on marketing copy; held at partially verified for that reason.

What we still want to confirm
We publish our gaps rather than hiding them. If you can point us at a first-party page for any of these, we will update the record and credit the correction.
- Find documentation of how production projects calculate material requirements, and whether any dates or lead times are used.
- Find out whether sub-assemblies (multi-level BOMs) are supported.
- Get the price of an extra full user on Professional and Enterprise.
- Find public API documentation and an export option.
- Confirm lot, serial or expiry tracking; nothing public mentions them.
Still unknown: counts incoming orders, uses lead times, capacity planning, multi-level bom, recipes & formulas, shop-floor tracking, quality controls, batch & lot traceability, expiry & shelf life, serial numbers, webhooks, csv export, full data export.
