Founded by Dustin Sakr and his brothers in 2008, Civil Clothing is an apparel and fashion company based in Torrance, California. Known for its streetwear, the company aims to celebrate American street culture, with a strong team of 75-200. The brand, which started by screen-printing T-shirts in the backyard, now partners with major properties like Marvel on their streetwear collections.
After rescuing NetSuite and implementing custom solutions with Folio3, Civil Clothing achieved enhanced work-in-process (WIP) and raw material inventory visibility and accelerated month-end financial closing.
Reduction in procurement processing and complex order creation times
Less back-and-forth as the finance team got greater visibility into inventory operations
Decline in unnecessary material purchases and vendor overspend
Monthly sales volume handled across both DTC and B2B channels
Faster month-end close due to raw material tracking directly into the inventory system
Civil Clothing’s apparel items required production orders that accounted for dozens of size and color combinations. Their existing NetSuite configuration couldn’t handle this variance. This forced the team into manual workarounds that slowed procurement and increased the risk of costly errors on every order run.
Raw materials were not being tracked within NetSuite’s inventory system. This left the finance team without an accurate view of landed costs and material consumption. These gaps surfaced as unexplained P&L discrepancies at month-end. This required hours of manual reconciliation and delayed the financial close.
Without centralized, real-time Work-in-Progress tracking, purchasing decisions were being made without visibility into what raw materials were already on hand or in production. The result was duplicate purchases, excess vendor spend, and working capital tied up in materials that were never needed.
Management spent significant time each period going back and forth between the finance and operations teams to validate data before decisions could be made. The absence of a single, reliable reporting layer meant even routine analysis required follow-up conversations that consumed 40% of time.
Folio3 performed a full rescue and customization of Civil Clothing’s existing NetSuite environment. The solution also involved purpose-built solutions for the unique demands of high-volume apparel manufacturing.
Developed a production order solution that handles high-variance items across multiple size runs and color variations without manual intervention.
Restructured Civil Clothing’s Bill of Materials (BOM) and brought all raw material tracking directly into the inventory system.
Built a Work-in-Progress tracking layer within NetSuite to give teams real-time visibility into materials in production and on-hand inventory.
Reconfigured Civil Clothing’s financial reporting architecture within NetSuite to eliminate the recurring back-and-forth.
Civil Clothing’s NetSuite implementation was rescued, along with the deployment of custom solutions developed by Folio3 experts. This led to enhanced visibility of both inventory and financials for the apparel company.
