Bill of materials creation for apparel orders

Complex apparel BOMs built from order data in 15 minutes instead of hours. A bill of materials automation apparel project for Ananta, built with UiPath · ERP.

15 minPer order (from 2–3 hrs)

The problem

Each order from a major apparel brand is a complex mix of sizes, patterns, colours and designs. Setting up the bill of materials took 2–3 hours per order, and errors caused production delays and procurement mismatches.

What we built

The automation reads the items in each order and applies defined logic to identify the BOM components for every item and variant, including fabric, prints, trims and accessories.

Results

  • BOM creation from 2–3 hours to 15 minutes per order, including validation
  • More orders handled with the same team
  • Faster procurement readiness

How we'd build it today

An agent now handles new styles and unusual specifications by reasoning from past BOMs, and asks a merchandiser only when a component is genuinely ambiguous.
