Range to delivery —
costed before you commit.
A complete PLM built on a GST-native ERP for apparel, footwear and lifestyle brands. Plan the season, build the colourway BOM, issue the tech pack, run the samples, quote the factories — and see the landed cost of every origin before the buy, not after the container lands.
A product of Prabandh — the SaaS brand of Manhotra Consulting.
Six capabilities that change the decision, not just the record.
Tariff & Landed-Cost Simulator
Ask what a duty change does to a buy before you place it: freight, insurance, duty and port charges resolved per origin, with the duty rate at which one supplier overtakes another.
What-If Range Scenarios
Model an 8% cost rise or a 60% sell-through against the live plan without editing it. The plan stays untouched; the scenario is a projection you adopt or discard.
Range Readiness
Not how many styles you have, but how many are actually shippable — tech pack, cost, approved sample, sellable SKUs — with the failing styles named, never just a percentage.
Quote Comparison
Supplier quotes normalised to landed cost per unit. A quote missing its terms is flagged, never silently ranked as though it were comparable.
Graded Point-of-Measure
The grade is derived from the size chart rather than typed, so a chart and its grade rule cannot disagree — and an uneven grade is surfaced instead of shipped to a factory.
Barcode & Compliance Checks
GTIN check digits validated as you type, naming the digit it should have been. A wrong barcode is otherwise caught by the retailer, weeks later, after the labels print.
Every figure carries its coverage. A margin built from half a range says so, and an unplanned season reads as unplanned rather than as zero — because a confident number over partial data is worse than no number at all.
12 integrated modules. One login.
Design, merchandising, sourcing, costing and finance on one record — not a PLM sitting beside an ERP, exchanging spreadsheets.
Seasons
Season master with roll-forward, and carryover / drop / addition decisions carrying their provenance.
Line Planning
Excel-like grid: channel, doors, buy quantity, sell-through, merch role, delivery dates.
Colour & Material Library
Pantone references, colour families, fabrics and trims with supplier assignment.
Retail BOM
Colourways as columns, components as lines — overrides only where a colourway differs.
Tech Packs
Construction, trims, labelling, packing and care, with a graded measurement chart.
Sample Management
Proto through top-of-production, with tracking, tests, review rounds and full history.
Cost Sheets & FOB
BOM-driven costing on a configurable ladder — every percentage states its basis.
Logistics & Duty
Ports, container types, freight rates and HS-code duty as editable tenant data.
Sourcing & RFQ
RFQs, a supplier portal, quote capture, and sourcing agents with commission terms.
SKU Commercial
Barcodes, vendor SKUs, prices, origin, HS code, pack and weights — edited in bulk.
Programme & Projects
Critical-path scheduling, stage gates, earned value and working calendars.
ERP Core
GST invoicing, inventory, purchase, accounting and payroll on the same record.
Four problems every fashion brand recognises.
The range lives in a spreadsheet
Line plans get emailed, forked and re-forked. Two people quote different buy quantities for the same style, and nobody can say which version the factory was booked against.
One line plan per season, rolled forward from the last one, with an approval gate between the brand manager and the line planner and every change on an audit trail.
Margin discovered after the buy
FOB is negotiated, then freight, insurance and duty land later and the margin is whatever survives. A duty change hits an order already in the water.
Landed cost is modelled per origin before the commitment, and the simulator gives you the duty rate at which the cheaper supplier stops being cheaper.
Sample round three, same style
A rejected fit sample usually means the tech pack was ambiguous, not that the vendor failed. Without the link, the same ambiguity is repeated next season.
Samples are tied to the tech pack revision they were made from, so a repeat round reads as a specification problem you can actually fix.
Quotes that cannot be compared
Ninety days on open account against a letter of credit at sight is not the same price. Comparing on the headline number alone is comparing nothing.
Quotes carry payment terms, lead time and MOQ and are ranked on landed cost per unit — an incomplete quote is flagged rather than ranked.
A view for every role, including the factory.
Vendors work in a scoped supplier portal — they see the RFQ they were invited to, and nothing else.
