Sage X3 is a capable general-purpose ERP used across manufacturing and distribution, with broad financials and supply chain breadth. For apparel, that breadth comes at a cost, matching seasonal workflows, variants, wholesale, and omnichannel nuance takes added configuration and ongoing specialist support, since the platform is not designed around apparel execution. Uphance is apparel-native, combining ERP, full WMS, PIM, and PLM with Shopify-led DTC and marketplaces in one connected system built for how apparel brands actually run.

Trusted by modern apparel brands that can't afford disconnected operations
