PLM for Apparel and Footwear
From the range plan to the landed cost, on one record per style.

Plan the season, build the tech pack, manage samples, source and cost the style, then release a colour-and-size SKU into the same system that buys, stocks and sells it.
Who it is for
Made for apparel teams.
Apparel brands that design in India and make with their own or contract factories.
Garment exporters who work to a buyer's tech pack and must show cost and compliance.
Retail brands that source overseas and need landed cost before they commit.
Sound familiar?
What apparel teams tell us.
The tech pack lives in email and the BOM in a spreadsheet.
Landed cost is guessed until the shipment arrives.
Nobody can say which styles are late for the season.
Sample rounds and lab tests are tracked on a WhatsApp group.
How it works
From the brief to the shelf, on one record.
1. Plan the range
Seasons with carryover, drops and additions; a line plan with buy quantity, doors and delivery month; what-if scenarios that store the adjustment, not a copy.
2. Define the product
Graded tech packs with points of measure by size and every revision kept; colourway BOMs with an override row only where a colourway differs; controlled colour, size and material libraries.
3. Sample and test
Request, receive, review and approve samples round by round, with tracking and lab tests; the review history survives a rejection.
4. Source and cost
Send the tech pack to factories as an RFQ and compare quotes; cost sheets walk FOB to landed cost, and a tariff simulator compares origins before you commit.
5. Release and sell
Generate size-run SKUs with barcodes and release them to buying, stock and sales in the same system, with GST built in.
What is specific to apparel
What you get.
Seasons and line plans
Carryover, drops and additions, with what-if scenarios and a range-readiness view that names the styles that are not ready.
Graded tech packs
Points of measure by size, construction notes and revisions, with the sample checked against the spec.
SKU costing grid
FOB and landed cost for every colourway and size in one spreadsheet-style grid, with container, freight, duty and exchange-rate handling.
Supplier collaboration
A supplier portal and RFQ comparison, so quotes, lead times and minimum quantities sit side by side.
Be aware
- There is no market-trend data feed and no EDI order messaging. Prabandh is not a design (CAD) tool; the 3D garment view opens a model from the tech pack.

Questions about PLM for apparel
What is PLM software for apparel?
Product lifecycle management (PLM) software keeps everything about a garment style in one record: the season and range plan, the tech pack and graded measurements, the bill of materials by colourway, samples and tests, sourcing quotes, cost and the SKUs that are finally sold. It replaces the mix of email, spreadsheets and chat groups that most apparel teams run on.
What does Prabandh's apparel PLM include?
Seasons and line planning, range readiness, graded tech packs, colourway BOMs, colour, size and material libraries, sample management with lab tests, SKU and barcode generation, cost sheets and landed cost with a tariff simulator, sourcing RFQs with a supplier portal, a time and action calendar, and open-to-buy and markdown planning.
Is it a PLM only, or does it also run the business?
Both. Prabandh is an ERP with PLM built in, so a released SKU flows into purchasing, stock, sales and accounting without re-keying. You can also start with the PLM modules and add the rest later.
Does it handle Indian GST and exports?
Yes. GST billing and returns for India and VAT for the UAE are built in. Landed cost can be worked out for different origins and duty regimes.
What is not included?
There is no market-trend data feed and no EDI order messaging, and it is not a design (CAD) tool.
How do I get a demo or a price?
Send an inquiry or request a demo. A specialist replies within one working day. Pricing is given by inquiry because it depends on users, modules and the data you bring across.
