A leather goods unit lives or dies by two numbers: hide utilisation and per-article cost. Both are usually buried in a cutter's head and an Excel sheet that only one person understands.
The trick is to separate the article BOM (leather grade, components, accessories) from the cut plan (which pieces come off which side of which hide). Once those two views are independent but linked, you can answer questions like "what did this batch of 200 wallets actually cost?" without recomputing anything by hand.
Add operator-wise piece-rate tracking and in-line QC, and rejections stop being a month-end surprise — they show up at the station that caused them, while it is still possible to fix the line.
LeAppx ships with an article master, a cut-plan tracker and per-article roll-up costing built in, so leather product makers can price, plan and pay piece-rate from a single source of truth.
