1C:Drive

The WHATIF apparel brand was launched in 2020 by two Turkish entrepreneurs, Zeynep Salah and Natalie Koca. Initially, there were only two of them, but gradually the staff increased to six people.

Rather quickly, the brand kicked into high gear by taking part in international apparel fairs and got appreciation by resellers from all over the world. As a result, the founders made contracts with several offline and online stores to sell their apparel in a number of countries.

One of the common challenges most textile companies face is that introducing new apparel collections always requires rigorous inventory and production management.
Even though the brand’s warehouse is relatively small, there are lots of various types of items that need to be stocked and documented, and many new items are added for each seasonal collection.

Business management software for WhatIF clothing brand

What are the key reasons for success of new clothing brand? Talent, hard work and a reliable ERP solution to support operations.

Challenges

The founders were looking for a solution enabling convenient stock tracking and management as well as working with subcontractors and overseeing sales and financial processes.

The main objective of the implementation of 1C:Drive was: to adopt a comprehensive ERP solution that is well suited for the textile industry and local market and is compliant with the Turkish e-government regulations.
