When recipes live in heads, runs come up short.
Every brand has BOMs. Most just haven’t written them down — and it shows on production day.
BOMs live in someone’s head
Material quantities are tribal knowledge — when that person is on leave, production guesses. And guesses cost fabric, time, and missed ship dates.
Waste isn’t counted
Cutting waste and scrap aren’t in the sheet, so every run comes up short on materials — discovered mid-run, when it’s most expensive to fix.
Shortfalls found too late
You discover the missing fabric on production day, not planning day. Now a 200-piece run waits on a rush order — at rush-order prices.
Define the recipe once. Never guess again.
From first BOM to fully costed, fully sourced production run in four steps. New to the concept? Start with our complete bill of materials guide.
Define the recipe
Add materials, quantities per unit, and waste percentages for each product — once. All size and colour variants share the same BOM.
Plan a run
Honey Shelf multiplies the BOM by your production quantity, applies the waste allowance, and checks the total against live material stock.
Reserve and order
Available materials are reserved for the run instantly. Shortfalls become draft purchase orders, grouped per supplier with quantities filled in.
Know your true cost
Material costs roll up per unit and per run from your latest prices — so you know your margin before anything gets cut.
One BOM. Two hundred kurtas. Zero surprises.
Take the Classic White Kurta. Its BOM lists 1.8 m of cotton fabric, 7 buttons, thread, labels, and packaging — with a 4% waste allowance baked in, because cutting tables aren’t perfect. Every size from S to XXL shares that one BOM: define it once, and every variant and every future run uses it.
Plan a run of 200 and Honey Shelf does the math: 374.4 m of fabric needed, 260 m in stock — 114.4 m short. That shortfall is a draft purchase order to your fabric supplier before you’ve finished your coffee. Buttons and labels? Already in stock, already reserved so no other run can claim them.
- Variants share one BOM — update it once, every size gets the change
- Waste is in the math — cutting loss and scrap counted from day one
- Shortfall → PO — missing materials become draft purchase orders instantly
BOM — Classic White Kurta (all sizes)
Run ×200 — material check
BOMs that do more than list materials.
Six capabilities that turn a parts list into a planning engine.
Multi-level BOMs
BOMs can contain other BOMs. Sub-assemblies roll up into finished products, so complex builds stay accurate at every level.
Variant-aware
All sizes and colours share one BOM. Update it once and every variant — and every future run — gets the change.
Waste allowances
Add a waste percentage per material. Cutting loss and scrap are in the math from day one — no more mid-run shortages.
Cost rollup
True material cost per unit and per run, rolled up from live material prices. Know your margin before you cut.
Shortfall detection
Plan a run and instantly see which materials are short, and by exactly how much — on planning day, not production day.
Instant PO drafts
Every shortfall becomes a draft purchase order, grouped per supplier with quantities filled in. Review, approve, send.
Five minutes to plan a run. For real.
We used to find out we were short on fabric the morning cutting started. Now the shortfall shows up the moment I plan the run — with the purchase order already drafted. Planning a 200-piece run takes five minutes, and the material math is just… right.
