Abstract: Indonesian SMEs Garment Manufacturers (ISGMs) have lack managerial support to compete in the global markets. The primary question is how to support them in achieving their business targets? To answer the question, we interviewed garment experts and financial experts. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the garment industry was constructed and an e-management system was developed to answer the question. A combination of an Accounting Information System and a Knowledge Intensive System was used for providing automatic interpretation on the results of the KPIs. Our study describes e-management as a means to increase the managerial capabilities of the ISGMs.
