CBX Cloud PLM

 

CBX Cloud PLM offers a complete platform for designing and developing private label and branded merchandise with speed and quality. CBX Cloud PLM empowers design and development teams to work efficiently from ideation to design, specification and quality assurance.

 

Retailers and brands are under increased pressure to bring products to market faster than ever before. The old school approach of relying on emails, spreadsheets and file sharing to specify and organize potentially hundreds of products in a season has proven neither sustainable nor scalable. Designers, buyers and merchandisers are demanding simpler and more efficient tools to do their jobs.

 

CBX Cloud PLM offers best-in-class functionality to streamline the product development cycle. Our solution enables designers, buyers and merchandisers to efficiently create, communicate, share and track products from concept and design through sample review and approvals.
 

CBX Cloud PLM’s Line Sheet offers buyers and merchandisers a quick and user-friendly interface to capture product assortments and communicate requirements to team members to design, develop and source products. With connectors to Adobe Illustrator and popular 3D design tools such as Browzwear VSticher and Lotta 3D, CBX Cloud PLM’s specification module enables designers to quickly generate product specifications. Technical designers can further leverage CBX Cloud PLM’s built-in utilities to create artworks and packaging. CBX Cloud PLM even helps designers generate beautiful line boards to showcase design candidates.

 

The system’s Critical Path Management engine ensures that every step of product development is monitored and tracked and everybody in the organization can stay on top of the development plan with the most up-to-date information.

 


CBX Cloud PLM’s time-saving features free designers to do what they do best: design.
