Run your branded apparel business without the chaos
From embroiderers and screen printers to workwear distributors - Zigaflow gives garment decorators the quoting, ordering and production tools to handle more jobs without more admin.
The complete platform for branded apparel and workwear businesses
Branded apparel businesses face a unique set of operational challenges. Every job involves artwork, sizing matrices, decoration methods, lead times and supplier coordination - all before a single garment ships.
Zigaflow brings quoting, purchase orders, production tracking and invoicing into one system. Your team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time decorating garments.
- UK branded apparel suppliers typically manage 50-300 active client accounts across corporate, hospitality, and trades sectors.
- Minimum order quantities, size breakdowns, and decoration methods create complex line-item structures on every quote.
- Lead times vary from 3 days for stock garments to 12 weeks for fully custom woven or embroidered workwear.
- Many suppliers juggle 4-8 decoration suppliers and offshore manufacturers, creating multi-vendor purchase order dependencies.
- Spreadsheet-based order tracking causes frequent errors in size allocations, artwork approvals, and delivery scheduling.
Up and running in four simple steps
Enquiry Capture and Briefing
Enquiries arrive via email, web forms, or repeat client calls, detailing garment types, quantities, size runs, and branding requirements. Each enquiry is logged as a new opportunity with all decoration specs, preferred colors, and artwork references captured upfront.
Quote Building and Approval
Quotes are built line by line, accounting for garment unit costs, embroidery or print setup charges, size surcharges, and tiered quantity pricing. The branded PDF quote is sent to the client for approval, with optional artwork visuals attached and a clear validity period.
Order and Production Management
On acceptance, purchase orders are raised to garment suppliers and decoration houses, with size breakdown schedules and artwork sign-off tracked against each job. Delivery milestones, artwork approval status, and stock receipt are monitored in one place to prevent delays reaching the end customer.
Invoicing and Accounts Sync
Sales invoices are raised on dispatch or agreed payment terms, with split invoicing available for phased uniform rollouts across multiple departments or sites. Invoice data syncs directly to accounting software, reconciling payments and giving a clean audit trail from initial enquiry through to cash collected.

Built specifically for your industry - Zigaflow tackles the operational headaches that generic software ignores.
Quotes take too long to build
Pricing embroidered or printed garments involves multiple variables - stitch counts, print positions, quantity breaks, decoration costs. Building each quote from scratch is slow and error-prone.
Zigaflow quote templates let you build complex garment quotes in minutes, with built-in margin calculations and automatic quantity pricing.
