Fabric and Trim is a one-stop checkpoint for material specifications, sampling and costing. It facilitates collaboration with textile and trim suppliers on raw materials. With its deep specification, testing and lab dip functionality, Fabric and Trim manages all aspects of materials development and helps achieve economies of scale across brands, divisions and categories.

Raw materials can be created from scratch, from templates, from existing raw material or carried over from previous seasons. You can use the variation feature to source raw materials from multiple business partners or to be tested against different standards according to the raw materials usage. Lab dip tracking and evaluation is available, as well as standard testing and is kept together with the raw material specification.

Fabric and Trim seamlessly integrates with Product Manager and Storyboard allowing raw materials to be used on products and boards. An aggregated view of material usage per season is available to sourcing managers.

A centralized request tab shows all sample, lab dip, costing and standard testing requests enabling you to update and track more effectively.
