Digital Lifecycle Management for Fashion and Retail

Mendix’s Digital Lifecycle Management solution helps fashion and retail companies boost accuracy, efficiency, and productivity in both online and offline operations.

Designed for fashion and retail brands, the Mendix Digital Lifecycle Management low-code solution creates an end-to-end digital value chain that automates the entire design-to-sales process. This highly configurable solution can be tailored to your specific requirements, allowing you to move on from the flows of traditional fashion seasons.

Mendix for fashion and retail helps streamline the production workflow (ideation, planning, design, merchandising, development, sourcing, sampling, and manufacturing) while encouraging collaboration between all your stakeholders.

What is Digital Lifecycle Management?

From a single creative spark and photo-realistic assets to seamless vendor collaboration and sustainable manufacturing for fashion and retail, Mendix DLM makes life easier.

Color library

Organize colors into seasonal palettes or manage them by groups and colorways; integrate with Pantone for accurate color matching.

Bill of materials (BOM)

Use templates to prevent manual data entry and automate status updates on materials used. BOMs can be synced with Siemens Teamcenter for complete collection management.

Size management

Manage all available sizes and configure ranges per country or region. To ensure consistency, country-based templates for size ranges can be created.

DLM Workflow

Workflow

Develop and manage workflows with smart lead times and automated reminders. Automated risk highlights for collection delays help with planning to ensure timely deliveries.

Mass sampling

Request material and style samples in bulk and manage feedback directly in the system. This helps streamline vendor communication and improves the management of sampling requests.

DLM Ideation and Moodboards

Costing management

Automate costing processes based on templates and compare multiple vendors for cost efficiency. The grid view feature lets users easily find and compare costs across vendors.

Digital Mood boards

Digital mood boards use images, materials, and colors to create a narrative that guides product development and positioning, helping you make intentional and targeted commercial decisions.
