Plan, design, develop, and source every collection in one fashion
PLM software platform, not a dozen spreadsheets. WFX keeps your
teams and 200+ vendors on the same live data, and we're building AI
for the work that still slows fashion down.
Trusted by the Fashion Businesses across 50+ Countries
The problem
A 14-week window. One small miss can cost you the whole season.
Hundreds of styles, dozens of vendors, teams across time zones. One
missed comment or wrong colorway can cost you the ship date and the
margin. Generic PLM software was never built for the fashion
industry.
01Versioning
Vendors are always on the wrong version.
Your team updates the tech pack. Your factory keeps cutting
from the old one. Across every style and every vendor, that
version gap costs you another sample round, more wasted
fabric, and days your critical path can't spare. The right
fashion PLM software closes that gap automatically.
Avg. lost cycles2.4× / season
02Data Silos
Spreadsheets break the moment styles multiply.
Designs in Adobe, BOMs in Excel, comments in email, samples in
Slack. Multiply that across a few hundred styles and by week 8
nobody knows which file is current. Your costing team rebuilds
numbers from screenshots instead of protecting margin.
Hours / week reconciling11 hrs
03Visibility
Delays hide until it's too late to fix them.
PP, TOP, and fit samples slip quietly, one style at a time,
with no live view of the critical path to catch them. By the
time merchandising sees the delay, the fabric was cut to the
wrong width three weeks ago, and it's never just one style.

WFX is built for fashion, keeping every style on one connected

Business Impact
How WFX Fashion PLM
fuels your business growth.
Five things change once your whole team works from the same data:
seasons move quicker, operations get leaner, and the supply chain
stops tripping over itself.
01
Accelerate Time to Market
When every team works in one place, concept to production takes
weeks, not months. Fewer sample rounds, less stalled
development, and lead times that actually come down season over
season.
02
Reduce Errors & Eliminate Duplication
Get off the scattered spreadsheets. With styles, specs, and
costs living in one place, the numbers stay right through the
whole lifecycle. No double entry, no rework, and none of the
expensive mistakes that come from someone editing an old file.
03
Strengthen Vendor Collaboration
Your suppliers work inside the system too, with tech packs and
graded measurements they can read without a follow-up email. The
Vendor Portal puts everyone on the same live data, so the email
chains shrink and you can finally see what's happening across
your supply chain.
04
Centralize Product Data in One Place
All your product data sits on one cloud platform, connected
right through to the storefront. Open APIs push and pull it in
real time, so your teams and your site are working from the same
information instead of two versions of it.
05
Rely on Expert Support & Flexibility
Set WFX up the way your business actually runs, backed by a team
that knows fashion. It's visual, highly configurable, and quick
to learn, so planning your ranges stays simple as you grow.

The fashion-native PLM that thinks the way your team does.
Generic engineering PLMs were built for cars and electronics, then
bolted onto apparel. WFX fashion PLM software was designed from the
first stitch, for apparel, footwear, and accessory brands that live
in lab dips, fit comments, and critical-path calendars.
Fashion-Native Data Architecture
DESIGN · DEVELOPMENT
Colorways, fit types, lab dips, trims, and points of measure are
built in, not custom fields you rig up yourself. Your design and
development teams work in the language they already use. Nothing
gets lost in translation, and everyone stays on the same version.
AI That Understands Garments
PLAN · DESIGN · DEVELOP
The AI we're building is made for fashion, not borrowed from
another industry. Visual search across your archive. A tech pack
reader fluent in fabrics, BOMs, and POMs. Intelligent product
search and design concepts. Every WFX AI feature is built for
apparel workflows, not generic data.
Your Factories, On the Same Screen
SOURCE · PRODUCE
A real-time space where your factories quote RFQs, comment on tech
packs, and upload inspection photos straight into your records.
Everyone works off the same live screen, so there's never a stale
PDF floating around email.
Plugs Into Your Existing Stack

Plug-and-play connectors for your ERP, e-commerce, and production

I can confidently say that we would not be growing as much as we
have and would not be able to grow further without WFX. WFX's
digital tech packs, cloud-based accessibility, bulk upload, and
vendor-friendly onboarding have been game-changers, fostering
trust and accountability across the board.

Customer story
"
Before WFX, a lot of production information was just in my head.
Now with WFX, everything is accessible and organized. Our
production team easily finds what they need, and our factories get
their information directly, without constant back-and-forth
emails. It's made life easier for everyone involved.

team. We've onboarded 350+ fashion brands and we're glad to help.
Fashion PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software is one
platform that manages every stage of a product, from first
concept and design through development, sourcing, and
production. Instead of scattered spreadsheets, shared drives,
and email chains, your whole team and your vendors work from
one source of truth. A fashion-specific PLM like WFX speaks
your language out of the box: tech packs, colorways, BOMs,
fits, and the critical path.
A fashion PLM gets your product to market faster and with
fewer mistakes. It keeps every style, tech pack, and material
in one place, so teams stop chasing the latest version and
vendors always see the right spec. The result is less
sampling, tighter costing and margins, smoother collaboration,
and collections that ship on time, season after season.
WFX is building a suite of AI made for fashion, called WFX AI
Copilots, with each one designed around a real job your team
already does. Margin Sentinel keeps an eye on margin against
your targets across the whole line, Tech Pack Reader pulls
structured data out of PDF tech packs in seconds, and Style
Generator creates colorway and design variants from your
references. Bid Runner handles vendor quote follow-ups for
you, while Intelligent Product Search surfaces past styles and
references across seasons in an instant. These are in active
development, so talk to our team for the latest on what's
available and what's coming next.
It depends on your size and how many workflows you're bringing
across, but because WFX is fully cloud-based, there's no
hardware to install and nothing to host yourself. Our team
handles configuration, data migration, and training, and many
brands are up and running in a matter of weeks rather than
months. Tell us about your setup and we'll give you a
realistic timeline.
Generic PLMs were built for multi-industry engineering and
later adapted to apparel. WFX was built from day one for
fashion. That means colorways, fits, trims, seasons, and lab
dips are native to the system, not custom fields you bolt on,
and tech packs, BOMs, and vendor collaboration work out of the
box without heavy configuration or third-party tools. Your
teams work in the language they already use.
Yes, on both counts. WFX has been a true cloud-based PLM for
fashion since 2000, so your teams and vendors can work from
anywhere with nothing to install. And it's built specifically
for fashion, footwear, and accessories, not a general tool
stretched to fit apparel.
WFX runs on secure cloud infrastructure with role-based
access, so people only see the data they're meant to. Your
product, material, and supplier information lives in one
protected system instead of scattered across spreadsheets and
shared drives. For detailed security and compliance
documentation, our team can walk you through the specifics for
your business.
