Apparel PLM software helps fashion and accessories teams manage a product from design through development and approvals. Teams can organize styles, materials, bills of materials, tech packs, sample feedback, deadlines and supplier decisions. Explore Surefront PLM workflows.
Surefront’s documented PLM workflows include tech-pack generation, BOM and costing information, sample/revision tracking, and product approvals. Request a demo using one of your own products to validate formats, attributes and approval rules.
Surefront is designed to connect internal development, sourcing and merchandising teams with external vendors or factories around shared product records, feedback and tasks. Verify permissions, roles and external-user requirements for your organization in a PLM demonstration.
PLM focuses on product development—such as specifications, materials, samples and revisions. PIM focuses on product information—such as catalog attributes, imagery, variants and content use across channels. Brands may need both; see PLM vs PIM.
According to Surefront’s BaubleBar case study, the accessories brand reduced its product-development cycle from 6 weeks to 3 weeks and used a searchable catalog of more than 50,000 SKUs. This is a customer-specific reported outcome, not a guaranteed result.
