Ready to Move
the Floor Forward?
Sewn products manufacturing is changing.
Labor is harder to find and retain. Costs are rising. Customers expect better quality, faster delivery, and more information.
TexTempo works with manufacturers ready to modernize their operations by capturing real-time data from the factory floor.
We Know Sewn Products From the Floor Up
With decades of experience in sewn products manufacturing, TexTempo works exclusively with manufacturers across:
- Furniture
- Apparel & Uniforms
- Automotive & Transportation Interiors
- Mattresses & Home Goods

Common Factory Floor Problems Costing You Money
TexTempo connects sewn products manufacturers with technologies that address common production problems, including:
Unknown or Inaccurate Labor Costs
Dividing total payroll by total production spreads labor costs across the floor instead of showing what each product actually costs to make. We call that “spreading the peanut butter.”
Quality Problems Caught Too Late
Defects found at final inspection lead to rework, wasted materials, lost labor, and delayed orders.
Orders That Are Difficult to Track
When a customer calls to ask where an order is, can you give them an accurate answer? Without real-time production information, work can be difficult to track as it moves across the floor.
Bottlenecks Identified Too Late
Production delays often become visible only after schedules and delivery dates have already been affected.
Poor Machine Scheduling and Utilization
Without real-time visibility into machine capacity and availability, it is difficult to schedule work efficiently and maximize production.
Incentive Pay and Payroll Disputes
Sticker systems and paper tracking can leave production records incomplete, missing, or open to dispute, making incentive pay harder to calculate and payroll questions more time-consuming to resolve.
Unplanned Equipment Downtime
Reactive maintenance leads to production interruptions, lost output, and missed deadlines.
Cutting Errors and Material Waste
Cutting errors waste expensive materials, including leather, and create quality problems that carry through production.
Limited Visibility into Employee Work
Employees perform better when they know how they’re doing and how to improve. Real-time feedback and access to production information encourages accountability, quality, and continuous improvement.
