For roughly 43 years, across two locations with 12,000 m² of indoor facilities, Ototrim has manufactured sliding and hopper-type window frames for all kinds of passenger land and sea vehicles, painted or stainless grab rails, emergency exit hatches and aluminum trim parts used in many applications. It also complies with quality standards such as IATF 16949 and ISO 14001.
Alders produces for global ready-made garment brands at three different locations within its own organization. With a total of 800 employees and, together with its subcontracted production, a monthly output of 800 thousand units, it is one of the leading manufacturers in Türkiye's womenswear industry.
Underlining that productivity rose by close to 35% after they started using the argemas system, Alders Tekstil, Albrander General Coordinator Melih Ayan said: "We have been using the argemas system for 3 years. This system lets us track every process in production, in terms of both productivity and quality. And it's a system that lets us act instantly. We can spot where a problem is at that very moment — not in the evening or at the end of the week — and develop solutions for it."
Drawing attention to rising competition and costs, Ayan said: "It is no longer possible to manage companies with traditional methods. You need a very good data pool. This forced us to be more careful and to build a more efficient production management system."
Stating that thanks to the argemas system they measure everyone fairly, Ayan said: "As a result, it became a system through which we can share with our employees as our business earns."
Saying he recommends the argemas system to everyone, Ayan added: "Arge Bilisim is not just a company that sells a system; it is also a consultancy that shows the way. By providing every kind of support, it made our decision-making process very easy."
With more than 50 years of experience producing for major European brands, APS Tekstil is one of the important companies in Türkiye's textile exports. Headquartered in Istanbul, APS Tekstil employs roughly 900 people. Its production factory in Merzifon has a monthly capacity of 600,000 units.
Stating that with the installation of the argemas system they can see all critical production-management data live, APS General Manager Kutlu Çeceli said: "Thanks to this, tracking and correcting disruptions in production in real time became much easier."
Noting that operators track their own performance live and that this benefits the operators themselves, Çeceli said: "The system is truly like a car's speedometer — operators can see in real time that they speed up as they press the pedal and slow down when they ease off. Thanks to the screens on the production floor, all line data is visible. These screens also speak to the employees' mental side."
Stating that the argemas system also puts pressure on factory management, Çeceli continued: "That is: when an operator suffers a performance drop for reasons beyond their control, they report it to management through the devices in front of them. Management then deals with the issue immediately and resolves it."
Underlining that he recommends the argemas system to every garment manufacturer, Çeceli said: "I believe it is a system that absolutely must be installed."
Mavi's largest manufacturer, Erak Giyim also continues to produce for many major international brands at its Çerkezköy factory in Türkiye and its factory in Egypt. Producing roughly 7 million units per year including subcontracted work, Erak Giyim is one of Türkiye's long-established denim manufacturers, 37 years old and employing 1,200 people.
Erak Giyim IT Systems Manager Nuri Sokullu said, "When we set out with argemas 8 years ago, it means we had already built Industry 4.0," expressing that they had started their digitalization journey 8 years earlier.
Stating that in their previous system they could not access data in real time, Sokullu said: "That cost us. A person working with low productivity lowered our daily quantity, quality and productivity for that day. This is where argemas added the most value for us. Because we can measure productivity in a short time, we can intervene quickly with our personnel and production stages. We can see the operation-based output in each department and evaluate accordingly."
Noting that they have used the argemas system for 8 years in cutting, sewing, washing and packing — and have carried out many innovations with Arge Bilisim, including automation in the washing department — Sokullu said: "When the customers we work with visit our company and see the productivity measurements of our personnel, and the bonus evaluations given to personnel based on that productivity, it contributes positively to them choosing us."
Underlining that the biggest contribution of the argemas system is that data is collected and evaluated on time, so measures are taken on time, Sokullu said: "In the following stages, the biggest factor was employee motivation. Another effect was at the quality stage. And at the end of the day, of course, cost — which keeps every company standing. It helped us see our costs and measure our operations."
With 44 years of experience, it is among Türkiye's leading exporters in woven ready-made garments. Headquartered in Istanbul, the company has a monthly production capacity of 600,000 units together with its production factory in Sinop and its production partners.
Encompassing EMF Tekstil Konfeksiyon A.Ş., Gülbebe Tekstil is one of the important babywear companies, producing in Bursa with 150 employees. Under its "Baby Rose" brand, Gülbebe ships its products to many countries at home and abroad.
Stating that from the very first day the argemas system had a visibly positive impact on their productivity and organization, Gürses said: "With new modules added to the system, continuous and useful improvements can be achieved."
Touching on the experience of Arge Bilisim's technical team, software staff and consultants, Gürses said: "Thanks to this knowledge, they have built a successful organization that guides all companies and generates new ideas while implementing on the production floor."
Gürses said: "We cannot evaluate or improve what we cannot measure. This program establishes an easily applicable measurement mechanism in every area of production. So far we have benefited greatly from the system and experienced no hitches in practice. Our cooperation with Arge Bilisim's friendly team will endure."
Producing in the textile field in Istanbul's Arnavutköy district, Gülce Tekstil manufactures men's and women's trousers for top-tier brands such as Massimo Dutti, Burberry and Ripley. Producing 40-50 thousand units per month, the company also exports.
"After we started using argemas — I say this very clearly — visible, distinguishable differences appeared. In both quality and productivity there was at least a 30% increase. I witnessed it with my own eyes," said Gülce Tekstil General Manager Cemal Aysel, one of the best examples among mid-sized garment manufacturers using the system.
Stating that the argemas system enables them to make fast and easy decisions, Aysel said: "The traditional system and the new system are not in the same league. I don't know how to explain it, but we're not talking about the same thing."
Explaining that they reward employees above a certain productivity and quality level with bonuses, Aysel said this was an important factor in increasing productivity and quality.
Saying they give customers clear answers on deadlines, Aysel said: "You don't say 'maybe', 'but', 'however', 'well, you see'. You speak plainly. By this hour the job is at 1,500 units, 1,300 units, 1,200 units. And you can say this many more can come out by the evening. The forecast here is not a guess — it rests on data."
Stating that argemas added a great deal to their vision, Aysel said: "I've used argemas for 3 years, and I recommend it too. If we want this industry to be viable and sustainable, we absolutely must be different. We must do things differently. We must change something, free ourselves from yesterday's thinking. I recommend this to my fellow business owners doing this work in this industry."
One of the largest exporters of the Mediterranean region, Uğur Tekstil has an annual production capacity of 7 million. Producing mainly women's woven tops and bottoms, Uğur Tekstil's largest customer is Inditex. With production sites in the Adana-Mersin free zone and a 20,000 m² factory in Urfa, Uğur Tekstil employs 440 people.
A professional manager in the textile industry for 32 years, Akın Şimşek explained their reasons for choosing argemas: "First, we looked for a company with a strong technological infrastructure. Second, the production philosophy. argemas is a production management system I have followed for years. It is not just software — behind it is important know-how that continuously updates its production-management philosophy and transfers it into the software. We wanted to transfer that know-how too."
Stating that Türkiye has pioneering companies and managers in the textile industry, Şimşek underlined another point: they want to manage their factories through engineers. "argemas is engineering software. And thanks to argemas we are giving our engineers a very important tool," he said.
Emphasizing that assignment optimization — argemas's automatic line-setup module — excited them, Şimşek said: "It's a piece of work connected to artificial intelligence. Bringing us a new concept we hadn't really considered before is very important for us. It was a module we specified at the very start of the project. I think it's a module every business interested in argemas should also get."
Asked whether he would recommend argemas, the experienced manager Şimşek expressed his thoughts: "Of course we do — we've been recommending it for 30 years. And we will keep recommending it."
With a total of 1,300 employees at two locations in Istanbul, Ünlü Tekstil produces for H&M's brands 'COS', '& Other Stories' and 'Arket', as well as 'Lacoste', 'Tommy Hilfiger', 'Hallhuber', Ivy&Oak, and major European customers from the UK such as Boden, Reiss and The White Company — making it one of Türkiye's leading womenswear companies.
