Learn morePLM software for footwear brands
Footwear points of measure, a UK size scale and a size-run SKU generator, with samples, sourcing and landed cost on the same record as the rest of your product development.
Who it is for
Made for footwear teams.
Footwear brands that design in India and make through contract factories.
Footwear retailers with their own labels who need costing by origin.
Teams that run many sizes per style and many sample rounds across factories.
Sound familiar?
What footwear teams tell us.
A size run multiplies every style into dozens of SKUs by hand.
Costing swings with each component and origin.
Samples and approvals go through several factories.
Specifications sit in spreadsheets that nobody can trace back.
How it works
From the brief to the shelf, on one record.
1. Plan the range
Seasons, carryover and drops, with a line plan by door and delivery month.
2. Define the product
Footwear points of measure (length, width, heel height, shaft height), graded by size and kept with every revision; bills of materials by colourway.
3. Sample and test
Request, review and approve samples across factories, round by round, with lab tests recorded against each sample.
4. Source and cost
RFQs to factories with side-by-side quotes; cost sheets from FOB to landed cost, and a tariff simulator across sourcing origins.
5. Release and sell
A UK 6 to 12 size scale and a generator that builds the size run of SKUs and barcodes, released to stock and sales.

Questions about PLM for footwear
Is there PLM software for footwear in India?
Yes. Prabandh's PLM covers footwear with footwear points of measure, a UK size scale, a size-run SKU generator, sample management, sourcing RFQs and landed cost, inside an ERP that also handles purchasing, stock, sales and GST accounting.
How is footwear different from apparel in the PLM?
Footwear is measured differently (length, width, heel and shaft height) and every style is a size run. Prabandh uses the same product-development module for both, with footwear measurements and a size-run generator.
Does it have a library of lasts, outsoles and components?
Not yet. There is no last, outsole or component library today.
Can factories take part?
Yes. Factories can receive an RFQ and send quotes through a supplier portal, and sample requests are tracked round by round.
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.
