Simparel API
Simparel (now Aptean Apparel ERP, Exenta Edition) is a fashion-focused business platform that natively combines ERP, PLM, supply chain management, warehouse management, shop floor control, and EDI for apparel and textile companies. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull styles, bills of material, costing, purchase and sales orders, inventory, shipments, and production status—and push updates like new orders, style specs, and inventory adjustments back into Simparel.
What is Simparel?
Simparel is a fashion-focused enterprise software platform—now offered as Aptean Apparel ERP, Exenta Edition—that natively combines traditionally independent PLM, ERP, Supply Chain Management (SCM), Materials Requirements Planning (MRP), Shop Floor Control (SFC), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and Warehouse Management (WMS) into a single business system built for apparel, footwear, and textile companies. Brands and manufacturers use Simparel to manage the entire design-to-delivery lifecycle: line planning, product specifications, costing, raw materials, order management, inventory, production, and distribution.
Core product areas include:
- PLM (line planning, specifications, costing, digital asset management)
- ERP (financials, order management, inventory, purchasing)
- Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)
- Shop Floor Control (SFC) and production tracking
- Warehouse Management (WMS) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Common data entities:
- Styles, SKUs, Colorways, Size Scales, Seasons, Lines
- Bills of Material, Materials, Trims, Costing Sheets
- Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Cut Tickets, Work Orders
- Inventory, Lots, Warehouses, Shipments, ASNs
- Customers, Vendors, Factories, Invoices, Payments
The Simparel Integration Challenge
Apparel companies run mission-critical design, sourcing, and fulfillment workflows on Simparel, but turning its tightly integrated modules into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- No documented public API: Simparel is delivered as an integrated suite, so there is no general-purpose, self-serve developer API for external automation
- Cross-module object spread: PLM, ERP, SCM, WMS, and shop floor each carry their own IDs, lifecycle states, and relationships that must be stitched together
- EDI and partner gates: Many order, ASN, and invoice flows move through EDI and trading-partner agreements rather than open endpoints
- Per-customer configuration: Style attributes, size scales, costing models, and workflows are tailored per brand—generic integrations break across tenants
- Deployment variability: Cloud and on-prem editions differ in endpoints, versions, and access surfaces
- Document and asset workflows: Tech packs, digital assets, and costing sheets need careful upload/download and template handling
How Supergood Creates Simparel APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser and application flows across Simparel's PLM, ERP, SCM, and WMS modules to deliver a resilient, normalized API layer for your Simparel tenant—without waiting on a public developer program.
- Handles username/password and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across Styles, BOMs, Orders, Inventory, and Production so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Aligns with brand-specific style attributes, size scales, and costing models to ensure accurate access

Potential API Endpoints
Authentication
/authenticateAuthenticate to a Simparel tenant using username/password, or MFA, and obtain a session token for downstream calls.
Product
/stylesList styles with colorways, size scales, season, and status filters, including linked tech packs and specifications.
Product
/create_styleCreate a new style with attributes, bill of material, and costing against the brand's configured product model.
Orders
/sales_ordersRetrieve sales orders, cut tickets, and allocation status with customer, season, and ship-window filters.
Orders
/create_purchase_orderCreate a purchase order to a factory or material vendor with line items, quantities, and delivery dates.
Inventory
/inventoryPull on-hand, allocated, and in-transit inventory by SKU, lot, and warehouse, including shipments and ASNs.
Use Cases
Sync product and style data into downstream systems
- Pull styles, colorways, BOMs, and costing from Simparel PLM into a single warehouse - Stream tech-pack and specification updates to sourcing and 3D-design tools - Reconcile style and SKU master data across PLM, ERP, and ecommerce
Automate order and production workflows
- Push sales and purchase orders into Simparel ERP and pull cut tickets and work orders back - Track production and shop-floor status to keep ship-window commitments - Route order acknowledgments and ASNs to trading partners without manual EDI handling
Unify inventory and fulfillment across warehouses
- Sync on-hand, allocated, and in-transit inventory from WMS into OMS and 3PL systems - Surface low-stock and over-allocation events to planning workflows - Reconcile shipments, ASNs, and invoices against sales orders
Reconcile costing and supplier data
- Pull costing sheets and BOM material costs for margin analysis - Match purchase orders and invoices against factory and vendor records - Surface raw-material shortages from MRP to procurement workflows

Frequently asked questions
Simparel is delivered as an integrated apparel suite without a general-purpose, self-serve developer API. Supergood builds a resilient API layer over your authenticated Simparel surfaces so you can automate without a public developer program.
Yes. Simparel was rebranded to Exenta and is now offered as Aptean Apparel ERP, Exenta Edition. Supergood adapts to your specific edition, version, and deployment model, whether cloud or on-prem.
Yes. Supergood normalizes data across the natively integrated PLM, ERP, SCM, and WMS modules, so styles, BOMs, orders, and inventory are exposed through one consistent API surface.
Each tenant is profiled against its configured style attributes, colorways, size scales, and costing models. Supergood preserves brand-specific fields and lifecycle states rather than forcing a generic schema.
Order acknowledgments, ASNs, and invoices that move through EDI can be surfaced and pushed through the normalized API, so you can automate trading-partner workflows alongside internal data.
