Does Scan ERP handle California SB-62 compliance?
Scan ERP tracks operator hours, piece-rate earnings, and overtime via QR scan data — the foundation for California garment industry compliance under SB-62 (Garment Worker Protection Act).

Scan ERP is different — it focuses purely on the production floor for CMT factories that sew for other brands. Many LA factories pair both: AIMS360 for brand operations, Scan ERP for the sewing floor.
