Sound familiar?

Tech packs driftThe current version lives in someone's phone; the factory sews from an old one.

Costing in the darkMargins get recalculated once a quarter, heroically, in a spreadsheet.

No view of the season"How many styles are in progress and at what stage?" has no quick answer.

Everything in chatsSample feedback and edits get lost across three messengers.

How PLMflow helps

PLMflow brings product development into one place and moves every style through clear stages — from idea to a live product page.

Styles & collections

The style record as a hub: colorways, seasons and statuses. See the whole season on one screen.

Tech packs & BOM

The factory spec and the bill of materials in one place, with version history. The factory always sees the current one.

Costing & margin

Costing is linked to the BOM: change a fabric price and the margin recalculates. CMT, FOB, landed cost.

Samples & quality

Sample tracking, QC checklists and approvals — without losing threads in chat.

Factory orders

Production orders with a size breakdown and production stages.

DPP & compliance

Data ready for a Digital Product Passport (EU ESPR 2027): composition, origin, care and sustainability.

FAQ

When does a brand need a PLM?

A rough guide: 20–30+ styles a season, a few people working on one product, and recurring errors from data drift across spreadsheets and chats.

Does it fit if we outsource sewing?

Yes. PLM runs development, tech packs, costing and factory orders — that matters whether or not you own a workshop.

How is PLM different from ERP?

PLM is about creating the product (tech packs, samples, costing); ERP is about inventory, money and sales. They complement each other.
