As we try to clean up the manufacturing process, the apparel industry also experiences issues such as over production of goods and garments being worn for shorter periods of time and being disposed of in order to move on to the next season. Apparel businesses demand more from their manufactures and expect a quicker turnaround time and all completed within short notice, which in turn leads to higher chances of making mistakes in production. When all is said and done and there is an excess inventory left because the garments did not sell or were manufactured incorrectly. You now have tons of perfectly good pieces that end up getting pushed to jobbers and/or eventually end up in landfills. Thus, the waste created cuts into the companies’ profits due to lack of sale.

Many mistakes that are made during production or in the ordering process which lead to non-usable goods and have to be thrown away, are due to lack of software that can assist in planning of a production. Many apparel companies feel that paper orders and manual processing is OK and do not realize the impacts that can affect both profitability and the environment. AIMS 360 has been the leading apparel software company in the industry for 28 years and continues to address issues to help drive efficiency and create eco-friendly solutions. 
 
Not only does the software address the issues of manual planning of purchasing, the software itself is eco-friendly. Current software industry itself demands many hard components such as servers, CPU’s, monitors, etc. and just like the apparel industry, thousands of old and unusable equipment is tossed into landfills each year. In order to reduce computer component wastage, AIMS360 offers its servers in the cloud, meaning the user does not need to have a server on-site. 
 
Headquartered in the Fashion District in Downtown Los Angeles, AIMS was founded in 1984 by a team of former industry executives who possess in-depth experience in the garment sector, as well as a passion for technology and innovation.  Their knowledge and expertise has been put into practice to create a broad array of cutting-edge products and services that help firms overcome their greatest challenges, achieve their most important goals, and gain a substantial competitive edge.
