DOKU GmbH is a German textile software company founded in 1987. It develops and sells customized software solutions for the knitting and cut & sew industries. Its core products include ERP-System DOKUplan and a Pattern-System for flat knitting machines. DOKUplan is positioned specifically as an enterprise resource planning system for knitting and cut-and-sew manufacturers, covering production scenarios such as socks, sweaters, seamless knitting, and cut & sew.
Based on the publicly available description, DOKUplan is closer to an integrated vertical manufacturing ERP/MES/PDM solution. It covers front-end data management such as prototype development, R&D, PDM, series data, color charts, suppliers, materials, style definitions, BOMs, structure planning, size charts, material contracts, and schedule control. On the order side, it supports forecasts, projections, confirmed orders, warehouse orders, customer data, order scheduling, confirmations, and packing instructions. On the production side, it covers material requirements, capacity freezing, manufacturing orders, barcode registration, dyeing vat batches and technical parameters, quality assurance, subcontracting, warehouse management, delivery and transport, and invoicing documents. It also includes day-to-day manufacturing management modules such as piece-rate wages, bonus wages, attendance tracking, and online production meetings.
The website does not disclose packages, pricing, licensing models, a free version, or trial information. It is therefore more likely to be sold and implemented on a project basis. The company emphasizes personalized consulting, project management, and user training, and lists remote or on-site implementation cases in countries such as Poland, Bulgaria, and France, suggesting that service delivery is an important part of the product offering. However, the public materials do not clarify key details such as cloud deployment, on-premise deployment, self-hosting, APIs, third-party integrations, or security and compliance certifications. These should be confirmed carefully before procurement.
Its main strengths are its strong vertical focus and relatively complete coverage of the textile production chain. It is especially suitable for knitting manufacturers that need to manage BOMs, materials, capacity, production processes, subcontracting, quality, and piece-rate wages in one system. The downside is limited transparency in public information: it lacks the online pricing, trials, integration marketplaces, and developer documentation commonly seen in modern SaaS products. Companies looking for a fast self-service rollout or extensive integration with cloud services should conduct further evaluation.
The public information does not mention access from China, payment methods, or local support, so actual availability is unknown. Chinese companies considering the product should verify network accessibility, time zone and language support, payment and contract arrangements, data residency, and after-sales response. Alternative options may include local textile and apparel ERP systems, fashion PLM software, MES systems, or a general-purpose ERP with industry-specific customization.
