The goal of this paper consists of analysing the growing phenomena of buyer and seller relationship process automation in the textile industry. As it happened during the 70th, where we have seen, inside the production department, the automation revolution of the manufacturing processes, the 90th have closed with the aim to extend this methodology to the selling world and the buyer and seller relationship too.Information technology, supported by telecommunication, tries to give, nowadays, the right path to get this goal.By defining processes, players and related information flows, this paper wants to explore the opportunity and the threats to implement the automation cycle inside the textile supply chain. It will be spotlighted the importance of embedding rules and processes in software, in order to create a codified language for the operational and transactional flow. Further more it will be emphasised the role and the weight of exception management in the sales process and how to handle it without a software routine.
