The buyer gets the PPT today. Not next Thursday.
TextileCost is one desk for the whole style: from costing to buyer’s inbox. The two-hour Excel–PowerPoint–Outlook routine takes ten minutes. Your photos, patterns, and cost sheets stay searchable long after the sample room clears.
Good morning, Aditya.
Not the two hours it used to take.
Fabric, CMT, overhead, summary: one screen.
Admin · Merchandiser · Photographer · Pattern master.
Every style, photo, and file. Yours to keep.
What actually happens in the merchandising team.
The deal lost because the PPT arrived the next morning. The style you've costed three times because the Excel keeps getting rebuilt. The buyer kept waiting because the files were on someone's laptop. These aren't edge cases, they happen every week.
A buyer picks samples at your booth. They ask for prices. You say you'll send a PPT from the office.
By the time the email arrives the next morning, they've already seen three other vendors and placed with one of them.
The enquiry: photos, notes, price in their currency, hits their inbox before they reach the next stall. The pitch is done while the interest is hot.
Dear Aiko,
Per our call, please find three Pre-Fall styles attached. Quoted FOB Mumbai, 60 days lead time.
| Style | Quality | Price |
|---|---|---|
| TC-2026-012 | Chore jacket · canvas | $19.40 |
| TC-2026-011 | Bias-cut midi · CDC | $22.80 |
| TC-2026-010 | Pintex blouse · poplin | $11.95 |
Warm regards, Aditya Sadh
You costed that linen shirt in March. A second buyer asked for it. The first buyer called back six months later.
Each time: find the Excel, rebuild the PPT, retype the email. The style hasn't changed. The work has to happen all over again.
Cost it once. It stays in the cloud. Any buyer, new or returning, gets a fresh PPT in two clicks, in their currency, with your branding.

Priya handles the UK accounts. Priya is on leave. A buyer from Manchester needs an updated costing today.
You call her. No answer. You check the shared folder: something's there but it's from last season. The buyer is waiting.
Every costing, buyer note, and file is in the system. Priya being on leave is Priya's problem, not the buyer's.

Your senior merchandiser resigned last month. His laptop went with him.
Three seasons of cost sheets, sample photos, and pattern files, on a machine you no longer have access to. You're rebuilding from memory.
Every cost sheet, photo, and pattern file lives in the cloud. When someone leaves, the work stays. Always.

Take it anywhere. Import on another workspace. Keep as backup.
