🧾 Model Details Page
The Model Details Page is your centralized workspace for managing every element of a garment’s development lifecycle. Each section reflects a key component of the apparel production process—structured to support technical precision, team collaboration, cost transparency, and sustainability.
🎨 Product Development
This section covers the core elements of your product’s design and development process, from version control to 3D visualization.
📌 Current Version Details
In fashion product development, it’s common to iterate designs across multiple versions—based on sample feedback, material changes, or client input. This section offers a high-level overview of the selected version, helping you track:
- Body Size: Choosing the sample size (e.g. EU38, M) ensures consistency across tech packs and measurement sheets.
- Colorways: Fashion items often come in multiple colors. Managing color variants per version simplifies production planning and visual merchandising.
- Status Tracking: Labels like “In Progress” or “Done” help production teams, pattern makers, and clients stay aligned.
- Technician Assignment: Assigning ownership clarifies responsibilities and ensures accountability throughout the development process.
- Version Metadata: Linking the model to a season and collection provides historical context and helps group deliverables by campaign or drop.
This section acts as your dashboard to control the lifecycle of one specific iteration of your product.
📁 Current Version Files
Garment production requires a wide variety of technical files—ranging from sketches and CADs to measurement charts and construction guidelines. Centralizing these documents ensures that all departments work with the same source of truth.
Why it matters in textiles:
- Ensures consistency across design, sampling, and production
- Reduces errors caused by outdated or missing documentation
- Speeds up communication with manufacturers and suppliers
- Supports compliance with quality assurance processes
Versioned file management also makes it easy to audit changes between samples, compare iterations, or restore previous specs.
📝 Model Sheet
Fashion development often involves unique design elements or construction notes that can’t easily be captured in structured fields. The model sheet acts as a free-form design journal tied to each version.
Why it matters:
- Allows designers or product developers to explain “why” behind decisions
- Records sample feedback from clients or internal reviews
- Ensures construction details aren’t lost during handovers
- Supports knowledge transfer across teams and seasons
It’s especially useful in small or medium-sized factories where tacit knowledge needs to be documented and reused across similar styles.
🧍♀️ 3D Model
3D modeling is becoming a core part of sustainable and efficient apparel development. It allows teams to preview garments without needing physical prototypes.
Why it’s valuable in modern workflows:
- Speeds up approval cycles by providing photorealistic simulations
- Reduces the need for multiple sample rounds (saving cost & emissions)
- Improves communication with remote clients or design teams
- Enables virtual fittings and showroom use
Supporting formats like .glb and .gltf ensures compatibility with popular 3D tools like Clo3D, Browzwear, and Blender.
🏭 Manufacturing & Sourcing
This section focuses on the technical aspects of production planning and material management.
📦 Bill of Material (BoM)
The Bill of Material is one of the most critical tools in apparel production. It lists every component required to make a garment—down to the smallest trim or label.
Why it’s essential in textile production:
- Helps procurement teams order exact quantities from suppliers
- Allows factories to calculate costs and plan consumption
- Serves as the foundation for tech packs and costing sheets
- Ensures consistency across multiple sizes or colorways
Each tab (Materials, Accessories, Packaging) reflects different needs—from sewing inputs to customer-facing presentation. A well-structured BoM avoids costly errors and reduces waste in bulk production.
📊 Consumption Norm
Consumption norms calculate how much of each material is needed per garment, which has massive implications for both cost and sustainability.
Why it matters:
- Overestimating leads to material waste
- Underestimating can cause stockouts, delays, or inconsistent quality
- Used to prepare yield reports and marker layouts for cutting optimization
- Required for accurate cost-per-unit projections
Especially in factories with high variation (like bespoke or small-batch production), defining consumption accurately helps reduce offcuts and improves order planning.
🌱 Sustainability & Cost
Track and optimize your environmental impact while maintaining profitability.
🌱 Waste Assessment Analysis
The textile industry is one of the most waste-generating industries globally. This section helps quantify material waste and optimize efficiency.
Why this matters:
- Helps you understand how much fabric is actually being used vs. wasted
- Visualizes cutting layout inefficiencies or excessive seam allowances
- Identifies whether leftover material could be reused or recycled
- Helps communicate your sustainability performance to buyers or certifiers
For factories and brands trying to reduce environmental impact—or comply with regulations like the EU Strategy for Sustainable Textiles—this feature offers real, measurable insights.
📉 Detailed Cost Analysis
Fashion pricing is not just about material cost—it includes hidden and indirect factors that influence true profitability.
Why this breakdown matters:
- Direct and indirect costs provide a full picture of garment pricing
- Opportunity costs guide better material or design decisions
- Hidden costs (rework, delays, overstock) are often overlooked but critical
- Cost-saving suggestions (reduction solutions) help stay competitive
This section is essential for negotiation with suppliers, validating budgets, and aligning design decisions with financial constraints.
✅ Waste Reduction Initiatives
Sustainability isn’t just about analysis—it’s about action. This module lets you select real waste-reduction strategies and track your commitments per product.
Why it’s important:
- Demonstrates environmental responsibility to clients and investors
- Connects your operations with measurable sustainability goals
- Encourages collaboration across teams (e.g. design + procurement)
- Helps build a traceable and transparent development workflow
You can customize these initiatives based on your factory or brand goals—whether you prioritize circularity, local sourcing, or digital workflows.
