ERP for garment, footwear, textile industries in VietNam

1. The situation of the garment industry in Vietnam in 2020-2021

Vietnam has emerged as one of the leading textiles exporting countries worldwide in recent years. Garment and textile products were among its major commodities based on export turnover in 2020. As Vietnam reduced its reliance on agriculture, the manufacturing sector has become an important pillar in its modern economy. Next to apparel export demands, the domestic consumer spending on clothing and footwear has been growing fast, thanks to the improving living standards of Vietnamese.

 

But besides that, The apparel manufacturing sector of Vietnam has been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The suspension of production in China created a raw material shortage for many Vietnamese producers in 2020. Moreover, several main import markets of textiles and garments went through a crash in demand, leading to order cancellations. This resulted in revenue loss among major textile firms in Vietnam. Textile and garment exports from Vietnam recorded the first negative growth in 25 years in 2020.  However, there are promising signs for this industry. In the same year, Vietnam signed two important trade agreements: the European Union Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which were expected to open more opportunities for this sector in the coming years. 

 

2. How to optimize the operation of garment enterprises in the current period?

3. Enterprise Resource Planning solutions – ERP for the Garment, apparel, textile and footwear industry

For many years, textile enterprises have always tried to do what they consider “most effective” to improve the efficiency of their business operations. For example, they used accounting solutions such as Misa or Microsoft office software in daily management tasks. The job is always done, so the process is repeated over and over again. The problem is that, as systems continue as they always have, they won’t be developed and improved to be more productive.

 

In contrast, an ERP system gives businesses the impression of a large, expensive and risky solution. In fact, there have been many cases where businesses have encountered failures and costly implementations. However, if the implementation is not successful, it just means that the ERP solution you choose is not provided by the most knowledgeable vendors in your business. Therefore, the solution they offer will not meet the expectations nor solve the problems in the industry that you are facing.
