Lifecycle PLM

What Lifecycle PLM is

Lifecycle PLM connects apparel product information and production work in one platform, covering product data, tech packs, samples, suppliers, costing, purchase orders, and production. Teams can use AI Studio, visual boards, component libraries, sample management, cost and collection planning, timelines, task management, supplier collaboration, and shipment tracking. Lifecycle says its AI modules use product context across concept work, tech packs, suppliers, samples, materials, planning and buying, and shipping. The product is presented for fashion and apparel, footwear, outdoor and sportswear, and homeware teams. Named integrations include Adobe Illustrator, CLO3D, Coloro, Shopify, CIN7, ApparelMagic, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Make, Zapier, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. ERP and other systems can connect through an open API or selected connectors, with compatibility and data flow scoped to each implementation. Security controls described include encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, scoped supplier visibility, audit-ready history, and multi-brand governance. Typical data migration is said to take two to seven days; onboarding includes a dedicated account manager with Slack or email support. Pricing is on request.
