4 Address Your Industry-Specific Needs In the fashion industry, products come in many style variants, sales are often based on samples, and production planning must take into account the many components that make up a product. Pebblestone Fashion addresses all of your industry-specific needs through advanced features.

The flexible matrix functionality of Pebblestone Fashion helps you manage all item variants from a central location, making that information readily available throughout the entire business and eliminating the need for data reentry. Work With, Not Around, Your Unique Presales Process Fashion collections are often sold based on samples and delivered to the customer after production usually months later. With Pebblestone Fashion, you can address this unique presales process by saving historic orders, entering sales order targets, and viewing the progress of presales on a daily basis. You can also replace items in sales orders with other items and register items not delivered.
