Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
This PLM software, built in India for makers who develop many new styles or models each season, keeps every design, sample, cost sheet and change under one style number. It suits teams that lose track of versions in email. What it gets right is the handover: the approved BOM and routing go to production without retyping.

A day's work, in order.
Style is created
A new style or model number is opened with sketches, drawings and tech pack.
Materials are chosen
Materials, colours, trims or components are picked from libraries to form the first BOM.
Samples are developed
Sample requests go out and come back, with comments and photos at each round.
Cost is built
A cost sheet adds up material, labour, job work and overheads.
Changes are controlled
Every change after approval needs a reason and a sign-off, with old versions kept.
Product is released
The approved BOM and routing pass to the ERP for production.
6 modules, one set of books.
Each module writes to the same records, so stock, production and accounts never disagree.

ViewQuestions, answered.
Is PLM only for garments?
No. A garment maker manages styles, tech packs and trims, while a plastics or engineering unit manages drawings and component BOMs. The stages and libraries are named for your product.
How does it stop the factory from using an old version of the BOM?
Each BOM and drawing carries a version, and only the approved one is released to production. A later change goes through an engineering change with approval, and the reason stays on record.
Can vendors and job workers see the specs?
Yes. You share the specs with a vendor or job worker and collect their inputs against the same style. Their comments sit with the design, not in someone's inbox.
Can we see whether a new collection will be ready on time?
Yes. The development calendar lists each stage, its owner and its date, from design to sample approval. You see which styles are late and at which stage, well before the buyer meeting or season launch.
Does Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) work on mobile?
It runs in the browser (Web), so it opens on any computer, tablet or phone. A dedicated mobile app can be added for teams that work on the move.
Can Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) be changed to fit how my business works?
Yes. Kreon builds and supports it, so screens, reports, approvals and rules are shaped to your process. Tell us what is different about the way you work and we will show you how it fits before anything is built.
