For garment factories

PLM for garment factories — with your factory at the centre

Working with several customers at once? Customers with contracts, incoming requests and costing, orders moving through shop-floor stages — and a free portal for every customer.

Sound familiar?

Tech packs in every formatOne customer sends a spreadsheet, another a PDF tech pack, a third a compliance-heavy spec for workwear. Half the details you dig out by hand, every time.
"So where are we?" by phoneOrder status gets checked by phone or chat, because nothing shows which stage the shop floor is actually at.
Requests and costing in spreadsheetsIncoming requests, CMT/FOB costing and quotes live in scattered files that drift from reality.
Feedback gets lostSample comments and quality notes sink into chat threads with five different customers at once.

How PLMflow helps

PLMflow gives the factory one workspace for every customer — from the first request to the shipment.

Customers

A registry of brands, marketplace sellers, wholesalers and workwear buyers — with contracts and certification requirements for each.

Incoming requests & quotes

A customer's request → CMT/FOB costing → a quote → negotiation rounds, all in one record.

Production orders

Quote accepted — the order is created in one click, with a size breakdown per style.

Shop floor by stage

An order board moving through cutting → sewing → finishing → packing → ready to ship.

Quality control & shipments

Inspections, defect notes and shipments per order — nothing lost in chat.

Labeling on the customer's behalf

Apply "Chestny Znak" codes for the customer directly from the order — codes and status stay visible on the record.

Tech packs & patterns

Versioned DXF-AAMA/PLT pattern files with automatic piece counts and previews; GRAFIS and Lectra files are stored, versioned and recognized.

Free customer portal

Every customer sees only their own orders and stages, approves quotes, signs off on samples and chats on the order — no invoice for it.

How it works in 15 minutes

The route on our demo factory "Vektor" — 5 customers, from a brand to workwear.

1

A request comes in

A brand sends an incoming request for a production run — it lands in Vektor's queue.

2

Costing and a quote

CMT costing is calculated from the BOM, and a priced, dated quote goes out from inside the system.

3

Negotiation and the order

The customer asks for a volume discount — you revise the quote, they accept, and the production order is created in one click.

4

The order moves through the floor

Cutting → sewing → finishing → packing — status updates on the board, so nobody needs a phone call to know where things stand.

5

Shipment and labeling

"Chestny Znak" codes are applied on the customer's behalf, and the shipment is logged with its documents.

6

The portal, through the customer's eyes

The customer logs into their free portal and sees the finished order, documents and message history — no calls needed.

FAQ

Is this for the factory or for the customer?

Both: when you sign up, you choose who you are — "Brand / production customer" or "Apparel manufacturer." Whoever registers sits at the centre of the system, and their counterparties join for free.

Does the customer have to pay?

No. The customer portal is free: they see their own orders and stages, approve quotes, sign off on samples and message you on the order.

My customers aren't on PLMflow — what then?

Run their orders on their behalf yourself, and invite them by email or referral link whenever it suits you. They open their own workspace at a discount, and your factory gets a discount too.

What pattern formats are supported?

DXF-AAMA/ASTM and PLT, with automatic piece counts and previews. GRAFIS and Lectra files are stored, versioned and recognized; we don't parse the native .mdl formats themselves.

What about "Chestny Znak" labeling and ERP?

Labeling can be applied on the customer's behalf right from the order. ERP integration and BI reporting are available on the Production+ plan.
