ClothingFaQTory is a management software designed for a company that produces clothing items and accessories. The core functionalities it provides are managing an inventory of the different types of products and calculating their production cost. Its aim is to help managers and business analysts to establish the final selling price of the aforementioned items.
The calculation is based on the cost of the prime materials per unit (such as the price of denim per meter) which is then multiplied by the approximate surface of the final product, in order to estimate the quantity of material needed.
The price is not stored with all the other information: the cost of the materials is rather dynamic over time, being influenced by economy and other factors. Therefore, the software allows to easily change the cost of the prime materials and obtain an immediate recalculation of the product prices, without having to update all the records in the database. In a real world scenario, with possibly thousands of products, this operation would be really onerous.
