Development

Once a product moves from inspiration and design into development, the pace intensifies. Developers, merchandisers, and suppliers collaborate on specifications, costs, and materials, often simultaneously across different time zones.

Without a shared system, this coordination relies on email, spreadsheets, and PDFs that become outdated. The BOM content changes, but the supplier is working from last week's BOM. The measurement changes, but the sample request on an older version may have gone out.

PLM for Fashion development modules exist to eliminate coordination gaps. These modules keep every stakeholder working from the same live record at every stage of the process.

You can use the application to develop styles, materials, and trims. The process typically includes creating a bill of materials (BOM) and measurements. During the development process, you can add information such as care information, composition, and compliance test information.
