Apparel · Footwear · Accessories
Ops built for brands that are ready to scale.
We implement ApparelMagic ERP and deliver strategic operations advisory for growing brands in the apparel, footwear, and accessories space. Whether you're building from scratch or optimizing what you have — we give you the structure to grow with confidence.
Core Service
ApparelMagic Implementation
Full ERP configuration, data migration, ops process redesign, and team training — end to end, fixed scope, fixed fee.
Advisory
Operations Advisory
Senior ops guidance for brands on any ERP platform. New implementation or existing system — we advise, you run it.
Who We Serve
Ops for brands who mean business.
We work with brands in the Start Up–$50M range — at every stage of growth — from building the operational foundation to managing scale and optimizing for performance.
Start Up · $1M–$8M
Building the Foundation
You've found product-market fit and revenue is moving — but your operations are running on spreadsheets, gut instinct, and brute force. Production and sales are harder to manage, processes are breaking, visibility is lacking and you know something has to change before it hurts your brand.
Scaling · $8M–$25M
Managing the Complexity
Growth is happening — but so is the chaos. You're managing wholesale and DTC simultaneously, your team is growing faster than your processes, and the systems that got you here are starting to crack. You need structure that can keep up.
Maximizing · $25M–$50M
Optimizing for Performance
You're running a sizable business with real operational complexity — multiple channels, a full team, sophisticated vendor relationships, and your margins are suffering. Good enough is no longer good enough. This is where brands have to optimize everything.
Our Services
Two services. One clear focus.
We do two things, and we do them with deep expertise.
Implementation
ApparelMagic Implementation
We configure ApparelMagic for your exact business — your SKU structure, production workflow, vendor relationships, and sales channels. Then we migrate your data cleanly, redesign the processes around the platform, and train your team to own it when we leave.
- Full ApparelMagic system configuration
- Data migration and validation
- Operations process redesign around the platform
- Vendor and multi-channel workflow setup
- Complete team training and handoff documentation
- Integration to 3PL's, 3rd party apps and EDI platforms
Advisory
Operations Advisory
Strategic operations guidance on a monthly retainer — whether you've just gone live on ApparelMagic, are already running another ERP, or simply need a senior ops mind in your corner. You run the business, we give you the perspective and game plan to run it better.
- Weekly or Monthly advisory sessions (60 min each)
- Async email access — 5 days per week
- Monthly ops review and priority alignment
- Vendor, team, and accountability guidance
- Brand operating playbook and scorecard development
- 3PL and in-house operations management framework
How It Works
A structured path from day one to go-live.
Every ApparelMagic implementation follows the same proven sequence.
01
Discovery & Scoping
We assess your current state — data, team, process, channel complexity — and scope the engagement precisely. Develop a clear easy to understand proposal.
02
Configuration & Migration
We configure ApparelMagic to your business model and migrate your existing data cleanly. No out-of-box generic setup.
03
Process Redesign
Software doesn't fix broken operations. We redesign your workflows, ownership structure, and reporting cadences around the platform.
04
Training & Handoff
We train your team to own the system. Clear documentation, a trained point person, and a clean handoff.

Testimonials
Don't take our word for it.
"I’ve known Aaron Clements for over 20 years and have had the pleasure of working with him throughout much of that time. Aaron is a true professional whose integrity, reliability, and commitment to excellence have always stood out. He’s someone I trust and respect greatly, and I would recommend him without hesitation."
"Aaron successfully built and manages our entire distribution and fulfillment operation, and his ability to think strategically while still executing at an incredibly high level is rare. What sets Aaron apart is that he truly operates like an owner. He is forward-thinking, adaptable, solutions-oriented, and constantly looking for ways to improve efficiencies, streamline processes, and reduce costs without compromising quality or service. Over the years, he has successfully scaled operations, developed strong teams, implemented best operational practices, negotiated meaningful cost savings, and consistently delivered exceptional results, even during some of the most challenging periods for business operations. Aaron doesn’t shy away from challenges. He takes full ownership of his work, stays ahead of the business, and has an incredible ability to solve problems before they become problems. Beyond his operational expertise, he is also an exceptional leader and mentor who genuinely invests in the people around him. Our retailers and partners have consistently praised the strength of our operations, on-time shipping, organization, and service standards, and much of that success is a direct reflection of Aaron’s leadership and commitment to excellence. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Aaron for over 14 years, and without question, he is one of the hardest working and most dedicated professionals I know. Any company would be fortunate to work with Aaron."

Hi, I'm Aaron. I started Brand Elevate after 21 years running ops for apparel brands and building a modern 3PL. Every implementation and advisory I lead is shaped by the hard lessons I've learned and the systems I've rebuilt. I don't delegate to junior teams — when you work with us, you work with me.
