You make what department stores and off-price chains sell under their own names, or under yours, in factories overseas. Samplyn holds that work on one record: the specs each account expects, the samples that win the order, the purchase orders and milestones that make it, and the containers that bring it in.

- One record: for the style, its samples, its purchase orders and its shipments
- Per account: an invite-only buyer portal scoped to the buyer's company and divisions
- Done for you: set up on your own private instance with your line already in it

## Develop: Build to each account's spec.

Private label means building to someone else's standard, season after season. Keep a points of measure library with presets per category and brand, apply them to each style's spec sheet, and start sample requests from a style, a design or a mood board.

- Points of measure presets per category and brand, applied to per-style spec sheets
- Sample requests from a style, a design or a mood board
- Printable sample-submit, spec-sheet and swatch-submit forms
- On-model photos and CAD to photo before the first sample exists

## Sell: A private portal for each account.

Each department-store or off-price buyer sees their own company only, with prices masked by role. Send line sheets with the pricing each list allows, let buyers build wishlists and ask for samples, and see which styles to pitch to which account.

- Invite-only, scoped to the buyer's company and divisions; buyers never see cost
- Line sheets as PDF, print or labels, with per-list pricing: MSRP, margin, cost or landed cost
- Wishlists buyers share with colleagues, and a sample cart
- Style Pitcher and retailer intelligence for each account

## Samples: Know where every sample is.

Sample requests move through twelve phases with owners and priorities. The garments themselves are checked out and in by barcode scan, and buyer loans come back, stay, or get more time on the record.

- Twelve phases from draft to passed or failed, with normal, urgent and rush priorities
- Custody by scan, bulk check-in and overdue alerts
- Buyer loans: keep, return, more time or send me another, with statements and reminders

## Make: Factories, orders and the ship date.

Purchase orders carry their size grids and a stage-by-stage pipeline, and wait as drafts until a person commits them. Time-and-action milestones send a notice when a step runs late, and each factory's capacity, compliance audits and certifications sit on record before the next order is placed.

- Size grids, role-masked pricing and drafts committed by a person
- Time-and-action milestones as a Gantt, with delay notifications
- Factory capacity, compliance audits and certifications, on one dashboard
- Your overseas team runs production in the same record

## Ship: From the container to the dock.

Shipments hang off their purchase orders. Containers and parcels are tracked live, ETA delay reasons go to your warehouse, and your 3PL's dock workers mark inbound containers received in their own portal. Buyers can follow their own shipments when you switch it on.

- Live ocean container and FedEx parcel tracking, with a route map
- ETA delay reasons sent to the warehouse
- A receiving portal for your 3PL

## Where Samplyn stops

Retailer orders, advance shipping notices and invoices still travel through your EDI provider, and invoicing, chargebacks and the ledger stay in your ERP or accounting system. Your factories do not log in: your overseas team runs production in Samplyn for them.
