Frequently asked questions about TRIMIT for Fashion and Apparel

TRIMIT delivers Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central together with industry-specific functionality for fashion and apparel as one integrated system. Instead of building custom solutions on top of standard ERP, TRIMIT adds the fashion layer many brands need from day one: styles with colour/size matrices, seasonal collections and drops, and wholesale workflows that match the way the industry sells and fulfils.

In practice, we “optimise” Business Central by shaping the standard processes around fashion realities—seasonal assortment planning, order windows, repeat orders, and fast matrix-based ordering—while keeping Business Central as the core system for finance, inventory, purchasing, sales, and operations. The result is a setup that is easier to run, easier to maintain, and less dependent on custom development.

We bring decades of industry experience into implementations and deliver locally in the markets where TRIMIT operates, including Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland (DE/NL/DK/NO/CH).

In other countries, TRIMIT can also be delivered through partners. That means you get a system built on global Microsoft technology, combined with TRIMIT’s fashion expertise, supported by people who understand the way fashion businesses work.

This page gives clear answers to how TRIMIT Fashion works, what challenges it solves, and how a combined Business Central + TRIMIT setup helps fashion brands and suppliers work smarter from day one.

TRIMIT extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with a fashion-specific layer that reduces the need for custom development around core industry workflows. Business Central remains the ERP foundation (finance, inventory, purchasing, sales, operations), while TRIMIT adds the structures and workflows fashion and apparel teams typically need for seasonal selling and wholesale execution—across DE/NL/DK/NO/CH.

TRIMIT optimizes Business Central for fashion by adding:

  • Seasonal collection and drop structure: Tools to manage assortments across selling windows, so teams can control what is relevant and orderable at the right time.

  • Style and matrix-driven selling: Support for fashion-style product structures (e.g., colour/size matrices) to make ordering faster and more accurate, especially in B2B.

  • Industry execution workflows: Features that align product definition and operational execution, including BOM concepts suited to styles built from fabrics, trims, and accessories (depending on your setup).

  • Fully integrated commerce: A B2B portal and Sales Agent experience designed to support fast ordering and consistent data flow into Business Central.

  • Commerce and integration patterns: Integration options (for example via External API) to connect Business Central and TRIMIT to external systems where needed.

  • Planning and logistics support: Options that can support multi-location planning and shipping visibility, depending on your chosen modules and scope.

We deliver locally in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland, and in other countries TRIMIT can also be delivered through our trusted partners.

TRIMIT adds a style-first approach to variant handling on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, so teams can work with styles and their colour/size structure without turning everything into manual SKU administration. In TRIMIT terminology, this is handled through Variant Dimensions (VarDim).

The customer value is practical and measurable:

  • Faster wholesale ordering: Clean colour/size matrices support quicker ordering in B2B and Sales Agent, with fewer mistakes and less back-and-forth.

  • Better data reuse across seasons: When variants are structured consistently, it is easier to carry styles forward, manage updates, and keep reporting comparable.

  • Less manual maintenance: A style-driven model reduces time spent creating and correcting SKU-level data.

  • More reliable planning and fulfilment: Consistent variant structures improve stock visibility and reduce operational friction from picking, transfers, and replenishment.

TRIMIT Collection Management lets you structure collections and delivery periods (drops) so you can control selling windows and assortment availability. This supports common fashion planning rhythms like pre-season selling and in-season replenishment, and helps teams keep seasonal assortments organised without relying on manual workarounds. In practice, it also makes it easier to align what is sellable in wholesale ordering and Sales Agent with the right season and delivery window.

What this typically enables:

  • Clear assortment structure by season, drop, and status

  • Better control of what is orderable in each selling window

  • A cleaner handover from collection planning to order intake and execution in Business Central

Yes. TRIMIT e-commerce supports product matrix ordering (for example colour/size) and fast add-to-basket flows designed for wholesale ordering. It also supports availability indicators and checks on order submission.

TRIMIT supports forward orders (preorders) in B2B ordering and Sales Agent by structuring products and variants by selling and shipment windows. You can use Delivery Period Codes to present variants by shipment window/date, and control exactly what is visible for preorder using filtering tools.

Typical setup for preorders:

  • Delivery Period Codes to show variants by shipment window/date.

  • Tag Filters and Generic filtering in Categories to control which products are visible for preorder.

  • Availability Threshold to hide exact stock (for example, showing “10+”) during preorder.

TRIMIT performs availability checks when an order is submitted in B2B ordering and Sales Agent. This helps reduce avoidable back-and-forth by preventing orders against unavailable stock for specific color/size combinations, depending on your setup.

The exact behavior (what is checked and how it is presented to the user) is configured as part of your solution, so check with our support team for your country if you want guidance on the right setup.

Yes. Online wholesale submissions can be created as quotes or sales orders depending on your setup in Business Central. This supports different wholesale workflows—for example, reviewing and approving key account orders before confirmation, or moving straight to order processing when the selling window is open.

If you want guidance on the best setup for your process, check with our support team for your country.

TRIMIT supports Design BOM and Production BOM concepts with configuration logic, which fits apparel structures where a style is built from fabrics, trims, and accessories. This helps connect product definition to execution in Business Central—what needs to be planned, purchased, and produced.

The exact setup (including versions and traceability) depends on how you run product development and operations, so check with our support team for your country.

A common approach is to maintain fabrics, trims, and components as shared master data and reuse them across styles, rather than rebuilding the same information each season. This reduces duplicate maintenance and helps keep data consistent when you carry styles forward or update materials and suppliers.

How you govern changes and approvals depends on your internal rules and traceability needs, so check with our support team for your country.

TRIMIT supports flexible collection setup, so you can carry a style across multiple seasons while controlling what is orderable in each selling window. When materials change, the key decision is often whether the style should keep its commercial identity (carry-over) or be treated as a new version for planning, costing, and traceability.

If you need guidance on item numbering, versioning, and how material changes affect compliance or reporting, check with our support team for your country.

Yes. TRIMIT Fashion on Business Central supports multi-company and multi-market operations, including multiple languages, currencies, and VAT setups, and it can help you structure market-specific assortments for wholesale selling. For fashion groups, the practical value is being able to run consistent core processes while still adapting assortment visibility and sales flows per market.

Local requirements and setup choices can vary, so check with our support team for your country.

TRIMIT MRP can plan across multiple locations and create transfer orders to support replenishment and balancing between sites. For fashion and apparel teams, this matters when you need to build stock ahead of a season, replenish during the season, and shift inventory between warehouses to meet demand without overbuying.

A consistent planning setup inside Business Central helps you coordinate supply and movement across your warehouse network, rather than managing stock balancing manually.

If you want guidance on the best setup for your locations and workflows, check with our support team for your country.

Yes. TRIMIT Container Management supports container setup, nesting, tracking and tracing, posting, and updating orders. This helps you organise outbound shipments in a structured way and maintain clearer visibility from warehouse to delivery.

For fashion and apparel businesses shipping across multiple warehouses and markets, this can be especially useful when you consolidate orders and want more consistent operational control and follow-up.

If you want guidance on how this fits your shipping setup, check with our support team for your country.

Yes. TRIMIT offers a Web Returns module that supports return handling through online ordering, and inventory can be updated in real time on returns depending on your configuration.

For fashion and apparel teams, this helps reduce manual administration and keeps stock visibility more up to date during the season. If you want to confirm the best setup for your process, check with our support team for your country.

Yes. TRIMIT e-commerce can show sustainability/ESG information on the product details page in B2B ordering and Sales Agent, and the content is maintained in TRIMIT Business Central. You can also use sustainability-related tags to improve discovery, so customers can filter and search for ranges such as “Recycled” or “Organic.”

TRIMIT can support the display and discovery mechanisms, but the exact ESG data schema and field set depends on your setup. If you want help deciding what to store and where, check with our support team for your country.

TRIMIT supports market-specific pricing and campaign setups on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through price list–based pricing and TRIMIT campaign pricing logic. This helps fashion teams manage different price structures, customer terms, and seasonal selling needs across multiple markets, while keeping pricing governance inside Business Central.

Typical approach:

  • Set up market- and customer-specific price lists and campaign rules in Business Central + TRIMIT

  • Align pricing with your seasonal setup (collections/drops) and wholesale ordering flows where relevant

  • Confirm localization details (for example VAT handling and market-specific requirements) with your support team for your country
