Sports Goods

Kit BoMs, hand-stitch labour and seasonal export packing built for the world capital of footballs.

Sialkot makes most of the world’s hand-stitched footballs and a huge share of cricket bats, gloves, hockey sticks and protective gear. The supply chain runs on outsourced stitching households, season-driven export packing and federation-licensed branding. Pipetal handles the kit BoMs, the hand-stitch labour at home-worker level, the export pack lists and the licensing audit trail that big buyers ask for.

Where the day breaks

What hurts in Sports Goods.

These are the friction points the owner already knows. Generic ERPs paper over them. Pipetal handles them by design.

A football is dozens of panels, threads and bladders, all coming from different suppliers

Hand stitchers work from home and submit work weekly with no central visibility

Kit orders (ball plus pump plus net) need pack-list discipline that Excel cannot enforce

Federation licensing audits need a documented chain of custody on every panel

Pre-tournament demand spikes leave stock counts useless within a week

Damaged returns from buyers need to be analysed by stitcher, by lot, by panel

What Pipetal does

How we solve it for Sports Goods.

Kit BoM that bundles parent products and packing items into one finished kit

Home-worker stitcher master with per-piece rate, per-week issue and return

Outsourced stitching as a job-work flow on Payable with Gate Pass tracking

Pack list generation tied to the sale order so export consignments ship right

Federation licence numbers stamped on the production order and the invoice

Lot tracking by stitcher so warranty returns trace back to the source

Seasonal demand views that re-aggregate stock by event window

Standout features

What teams in this vertical love most

Kit packing without an Excel headache

Build a kit BoM once, generate kit pack lists every time. The warehouse picks the right combination, the buyer gets exactly what was ordered, the export documentation matches.

Hand stitchers tracked at home-worker level

Each stitcher has a master record, a per-piece rate, weekly issue and return. Wages reconcile to the same Payable engine as everything else. No more weekly cash-in-envelope mystery.

Licence and chain of custody, audit-ready

Federation licence numbers travel with the production order. Every audit walks out with a clean trail in 30 minutes instead of 3 days.

Questions

Frequently asked
