--- title: "AI for fashion and textiles: tech packs, suppliers | ekory" description: "AI agents for fashion, apparel and textile companies: tech packs, bills of materials, quality manuals and supplier certificates, with the source." url: https://ekory.ai/fashion-textiles language: en italian: https://ekory.ai/it/fashion-textiles.md updated: 2026-10-10 --- # Every garment has a story. Now the whole company knows it. Tech packs, bills of materials, swatch books, quality manuals, supplier certificates and thirty years of collections: all in one place, with the source. Design finds a fabric in a minute, and customer service answers retailers without waiting for anyone. _Example: A pattern maker asks whether a fabric has been used before: the Eko answers with the code, the garment and the season._ ## Sound familiar? ### The pattern maker retires, and what she knew leaves with her. She knows which canvas shrinks at the dye house and why the collar of the 2015 coat changed at the second prototype. None of it is in the tech packs. ### Two hundred retailers, the same questions. During the sales campaign, customer service answers questions on deliveries, fabric content and size changes by hand. Meanwhile, orders wait. ### “Can we say green on the hang tag?” Since 27 September 2026, EU rules ban generic environmental claims unless you can show recognized excellent environmental performance. The proof is scattered across three suppliers' certificates. ## The questions that all go through one person today. With ekory they get an answer in seconds, with the source. Evenings and weekends too. - Have we used this fabric before? - How much fabric does a size 48 take? - What do we do with this batch? - Is this spinner's GOTS certificate still valid? - Is the new Vera coat the same as last year's? - What did we agree with this store? _Example: Eko Quality checks the rules on environmental claims and suggests wording the company can prove._ ## One Eko each for design, quality and retailers. One collection archive. **Eko Collections** For design and product Tech packs, bills of materials and swatch books from every season, with a reference to the sheet. **Eko Quality** For sourcing and quality Quality manuals, certificates and quotes from suppliers and subcontractors, with their expiry dates. **Eko Retailers** For customer service Deliveries, fabric content and terms of sale, to answer retailers in several languages.

[Security and data](https://ekory.ai/security) ## What fashion companies ask before they start. ### Can it read tech packs and supplier sheets, in English too? Yes. It reads PDFs (scanned ones too), Excel sheets, Word documents, presentations and photos of swatches with their tags, in Italian, English or the supplier's language, and answers in the language of whoever asks, citing the page. When two versions of a sheet don't match, it tells you instead of picking one at random. ### Does the collection in development stay confidential? Yes. Create a group for design, one for sourcing and quality, one for customer service and one for agents, and share with each only their folders: the collection in development, costs and margins stay with the people who should see them. Each Eko reads only the folders you give it, and conversations stay private. ### Do we have to move our tech packs and swatch books? No. ekory reads files where they already are, in Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive or Notion, and stays up to date when a sheet changes, without modifying it. For folders on your office server there's the company file server connection; for folders on Dropbox, the Dropbox connection. ### How much does it cost for a fashion company? For 25 people the total is €419 a month, for 50 people €599, excluding VAT: €199 for the platform plus a per-person fee that drops in tiers. Pay annually and you pay for 10 months out of 12. The [pricing page](https://ekory.ai/pricing) works it out for your headcount. ### Will our collections be used to train AI? No. Your content, sketches and tech packs included, is never used to train AI models: it's written into the contracts with the providers, including Google. Your data is stored in Europe, permissions apply to every document, folder and Eko and are checked on every question, and conversations stay private. A data processing agreement (DPA) is available; the details are on the [security page](https://ekory.ai/security). ## The same method, in other trades. - [**Manufacturing** Every showroom gets finishes, sizes and prices right, and your network learns every new collection.](https://ekory.ai/manufacturing) - [**Machinery and plants** When a machine stops, the fix arrives right away, on every shift.](https://ekory.ai/manufacturing-operations) - [**Construction** Specifications, safety plans and change orders for every site, on a tablet.](https://ekory.ai/construction-companies) - [**Wineries** Appellation rules, tech sheets and export papers, for agents and buyers.](https://ekory.ai/wineries) - [**Agriculture** Rules, deadlines and protocols, always at hand in the field.](https://ekory.ai/farmers) - [**Distribution networks** Price lists, part numbers and stock for the whole network, even on Saturdays.](https://ekory.ai/distributors) [All industries](https://ekory.ai/industries) ## Tell us about your next collection.
