  • Order actuals: weight, mill, lot and transaction certificate
  • Australian packaging working file for APCO and EPR
  • GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GRS, AS 4736, AS 5810, ARL, PREP and GS1 on the same record

Planning & Reporting

Planning numbers calculated inside StyleChain

Sell-through, weeks of supply and inventory ageing are calculated from the order and POS data already in your instance. The markdown simulator sits beside them, so a discount is modelled before it is committed.

  • 40+ apparel-specific dashboards
  • Sell-through, WOS and velocity by colour, size and channel
  • Anomaly alerts when a style breaks its trend
StyleChain AI analytics and alerts

AI Studio, on the style record

The imagery a range needs, generated from the style you have already built. Open it from Home, the style tab or the collection planner, and the images stay with the style instead of in a separate library.

Single image

Render a style in any colourway, taken from the style or your colour library. Choose the garment itself, a flat chip for a range board, or a close-up of the fabric hand in that colour. Flats and print artwork download as SVG.

Try-on

Combine up to five styles into one worn outfit, so a look can be reviewed as a picture long before it is a sample.

Lookbook

The same outfit from six fixed camera angles: front, three-quarter front, profile, back, three-quarter back and waist-up. The angles download together as one set.

Mood board

Arrange the images you kept onto an A3 or A4 page on a snap grid. Pin a comment on the look, scrub the version timeline, then print, export or share it.

Story board

The same page composer, sequenced with captions, for walking a buyer or a review meeting through a range in order.

Tech pack

Fill your own configured template from the style’s live colours, components, points of measure and specification sketches.

Brand look

A chip on the run from Company settings keeps a colourway on-model for your brand without writing a new prompt each time.

Fabric library

The material already on the style. Studio renders the cloth you maintain, including fabric-hand close-ups in that colourway.

Iterate

The next version can change the neckline, sleeve or silhouette, or recolour from the palette already on the style. The lineage stays with the asset.

What happens to what you keep

Kept images become part of the style

Attach a generated image to the style as its preview, a colourway image, a specification image or an eCommerce image, and it flows into the tech pack and the eCommerce feed without being uploaded again.

  • Up to A3 at 300 DPI, ready for a printed range board
  • Short video from a still, for a product page or a launch post
  • Reference your own existing imagery so a run stays on brand
  • Publish selected images straight to the customer portal
Find the comparable styles

Ask what you already sold that looked like this

Point AI Studio at a generated image or an existing style photo and it returns the closest matches from your own catalogue with a match score, constrained to the same department and category, with the sales history alongside.

  • Eleven art styles: technical flat, sketch, four kinds of print artwork, on-model, still life, diorama and table-top
  • Thirteen themes, by occasion and by setting
  • Download flats and print artwork as SVG, ready to open in the Illustrator plugin
  • Available on Home, the style record and the collection planner

Common questions

Fashion PLM capabilities at a glance.

What is fashion PLM?

Fashion PLM connects design, development, sourcing and production in one source of truth. It replaces spreadsheets with live tech packs, BOMs, samples and supplier collaboration.

Does StyleChain include tech packs and BOMs?

Yes. Dynamic tech packs with version control, bill of materials, sample tracking and an Adobe Illustrator plugin on the same live style data.

Can StyleChain replace spreadsheets?

Yes. One apparel-native platform for styles, costing, critical path and supplier collaboration instead of version-stacked spreadsheets and email chains.

Are supplier and customer portals included?

Yes. A supplier portal for factories and a B2B customer portal for self-service wholesale ordering on live PLM data.

Is AI Studio the same as the AI assistant?

No. AI Studio generates imagery on the style: colourways, try-on, lookbooks, boards and a tech pack. The assistant is chat that answers questions about your live PLM and can take action.

What about Personal and Organisational AI?

Personal AI is My Agents in Chat, private to you and working on your data. Organisational AI is the company register: planner conditions or style updates, reported through the channels you choose.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are live within weeks, with migration and training included. Legacy enterprise PLM rollouts typically run over several quarters.

Can StyleChain hold a digital product passport?

Yes. The passport sits on the style (fibre, carbon, certificates, operators and end of life) and publishes only when the required fields are complete. Factory actuals stay on the order. See Sustainability.
