What each covers
WFX PLM keeps product development and sourcing together, with tech packs, costs, samples and supplier updates in the same record. Kubix Link also supports fashion development, with PIM, Board and Forms for teams managing product information beyond development.
In WFX PLM, teams work on the same style record as designs, costs and samples change. Suppliers quote, comment and share updates through the Vendor Portal. Connect the approved product data to your existing ERP and sales systems.
Kubix Link PIM gives sales and marketing teams access to product information. Board organizes collection inspiration, while Forms collects data online. Confirm which tools your proposed package includes.
Fashion workflows
Use the same style in each demo. Change a material, revise its cost and send a sample for approval. Check who sees the update and whether your team needs to enter the same information again.
