Inside the app
What is inside
The apps a clothing store runs on, and what each does for the day.
Sizes and colours
Each size and colour of a product is a variant with its own barcode, price and stock count.
Stock by size
On-hand and forecast quantities are kept per size and colour, so a missing size shows before a customer asks for it.
Exchanges at the till
A sold item is taken back from its original order and the new size goes on the same ticket.
Returns and refunds
Returned items go back into stock and the money goes back by card or cash, linked to the original sale.
Loyalty cards
Customers earn points on what they spend and trade them for a discount at the till.
Buying by size
Purchase orders list each size and colour with its quantity, and the delivery is received size by size.
Seasonal orders
Next season's jackets and knitwear are ordered months ahead, with the date each delivery is due.
Sales by department
The sales analysis shows what each department sold, from denim and tops to accessories.
Step by step
From the collection to the customer
How stock moves through a clothing store in BridgeERP, and which app does each step.
- Step 1
Buy
The collection is ordered from brands and distributors size by size, with the date each delivery is due.
Purchase - Step 2
Receive
Deliveries are checked against the order and each size goes onto the rails and shelves.
Inventory - Step 3
Sell
The till scans the size and colour, takes card or cash and adds points to the customer's card.
Point of Sale - Step 4
Exchange
A wrong size comes back from its original ticket and the right size leaves on the same order.
Point of Sale - Step 5
Reorder
Basics that fall below their minimum come back on the replenishment list, size by size.
Inventory
Stock you can see size by size
Every size and colour is counted on its own, from the delivery to the last pair on the shelf.

Questions
Questions about Clothing Store
Not covered here? Contact us.
Can each size and colour have its own barcode?
Yes. Every size and colour of a product is a variant with its own barcode, so the till rings up the exact item that was scanned.
Can a customer exchange an item for another size?
Yes. The item is taken back from its original order and the new size goes on the same ticket; when the prices match there is nothing to pay.
Can a return be refunded to the card?
Yes. The returned item goes back into stock, the refund is paid by card or cash, and it stays linked to the original sale.
Can we see stock for each size?
Yes. On-hand and forecast quantities are kept for every size and colour, so sold-out sizes are visible straight away.
Can customers collect loyalty points?
Yes. A loyalty programme gives points on what customers spend, each customer has a card with the balance, and points turn into a discount at the till.
Can shelf prices include VAT?
Yes. VAT can be included in the shelf price, as on the demo, or sales tax can be added at checkout, depending on the country.
