Case Study: Design Studio achieves streamlined manufacturing and real-time inventory visibility with Acumatica Manufacturing Edition

Industry Leading Fashion Apparel Designer Dresses for Success with Acumatica Manufacturing Edition

Design Studio (brands D2 Clothing and Mila Fashion) is a Sri Lanka–based apparel manufacturer supplying UK and European retailers such as Primark, Sainsbury, ASOS and Next from five production sites that produce over 7 million garments annually. Rapid growth exposed limitations in a bespoke, on‑premises ERP: disconnected production, inventory and finance processes; manual spreadsheets and data entry causing delays and errors; weak reporting; and security and maintenance issues. The company needed a Microsoft‑friendly, cloud solution with unlimited‑user pricing to support expansion.

Design Studio implemented Acumatica Manufacturing Edition (with partner Propylon One) in six months, consolidating disparate systems into a single, connected cloud platform. The rollout delivered real‑time inventory visibility, integrated finance and intercompany reporting, dashboards that eliminated manual reports, and automated workflows that reduced errors and data‑entry labor. The result was faster, more accurate reporting, improved customer responsiveness and satisfaction, maintained costs and headcount, and a secure, scalable foundation for future growth.
