Speeding up the collection cycle, without compromising on standards.

From collection brief to in-store launch, we streamline development, sourcing and go-to-market processes, and bring data to where margin and lead time are decided.

The leadership challenges

What is at stake for leadership.

  • Collection time-to-market

    Reduce back-and-forth between studio, development, workshops and sales, from collection review to delivery in store.

  • Cost price and markup

    Measure, from the development stage, the impact of choices of materials, trims and make on cost price and margin.

  • Material traceability

    Origin, composition, certificates: documented, up-to-date information, ready for regulatory and customer requirements.

  • Consistency across the house

    The same accurate, carefully crafted product information in boutiques, online, at retailers and in clienteling.

Function by function

The time-consuming tasks, and what we put in place.

The functionTime-consuming tasksWhat we put in place

Collection director

Builds the collection plan and makes the calls on the season’s offer.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Consolidate development progress across several files
  • Reconcile the collection plan with the reality of prototypes
  • Prepare materials for collection reviews
What we put in place
  • EcosystemCollection plan held in the product repository (PLM), linked to development and purchasing.
  • SteeringUp-to-date collection progress dashboard, by category, by stage, by workshop.
  • AI agentReview materials prepared from the data, ready for decision.

Product manager and product developer

Turns the design into a manufacturable product.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Build tech packs and bills of materials
  • Track prototypes, comments and versions with the workshops
  • Re-key the same information into several tools
What we put in place
  • EcosystemTech packs generated from the PLM, bills of materials synchronised with the ERP.
  • InterfaceWorkshop and maker space: exchanges, comments and versions in one place.

Materials buyer and sourcing

Selects tanneries, mills and component suppliers.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Compare material offers and track samples
  • Collect and check certificates and composition sheets
  • Recalculate material cost at every decision
What we put in place
  • InterfaceMaterials library: costs, performance, certificates and usage history.
  • SteeringCost price simulation based on the selected materials and trims, before approval.
  • AI agentExtraction and comparison of offers and certificates received.

Production planning

Launches and tracks manufacturing with the makers.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Issue and track production orders
  • Chase workshops on lead times
  • Report delays to the sales teams
What we put in place
  • InterfaceProduction tracking shared with the workshops, with delay alerts.
  • EcosystemERP and workshop integration: statuses kept up to date without re-keying.

Merchandising, retail and e-commerce

Takes the collection to market, in boutiques and online.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Allocate and replenish boutiques
  • Write and translate product pages
  • Match visuals and content to each channel
What we put in place
  • EcosystemPIM and DAM as single repositories, feeding boutiques, the website and retailers.
  • AI agentFirst drafts of product pages and translations in the house’s tone of voice, reviewed before publication.
  • SteeringAllocation and replenishment proposals based on sales.

Management control

Tracks collection profitability.

Time-consuming tasks
  • Reconcile forecast and actual cost price
  • Track margin by collection and by channel
  • Produce sales reporting
What we put in place
  • SteeringMargin tracked from design to sale, by style, by collection, by channel.

Investment and return

What the task costs, what the solution costs.

  1. 01

    What the task costs today

    Time spent × frequency × full cost of the roles involved, plus the cost of errors (credit notes, disputes, re-keying) and of delays.

  2. 02

    What the solution costs

    A scoped diagnostic, then a staged build, each stage priced before it starts. Running costs (hosting, licences, maintenance) are stated from the outset.

  3. 03

    The return

    Calculated task by task, on your volumes: hours redeployed, errors avoided, lead times shortened. We start with the tasks that pay back fastest.

We do not publish an average gain: it depends on your processes and volumes. The diagnostic quantifies it, task by task, before any commitment.

Questions from leadership

What we are asked.

Which fashion and luxury roles can be automated?
The repetitive tasks of six roles: collection management (progress, reviews), product development (tech packs), materials purchasing (comparisons, certificates), production planning (tracking makers), merchandising and e-commerce (product pages, translations, allocation) and management control (margin, cost price).
How do you speed up collection development?
By holding the collection plan, tech packs and workshop exchanges in a single repository: each piece of information is entered once, and progress is visible without having to be pieced together.
How do you automate writing and translating product pages in luxury?
An AI agent writes a first draft from the product data, in the house’s tone of voice, then translates it. The team reviews and approves before publication: editorial quality stays under control.
How do you track a collection’s cost price in real time?
By linking bills of materials, material costs and make costs to the product repository: the cost price of each style and the collection margin update with every decision.
Can AI replace part of product development?
Part of it, yes: re-keying tech packs, compiling workshop exchanges, recalculating material cost, first drafts of product pages and translations. Craftsmanship, dialogue with the workshops and development choices remain human, and gain the time freed up.
For the CIO

An architecture that fits what you already have.

  • Integration, not replacement

    PLM, PIM, DAM, ERP, e-commerce platform, point of sale: we start from your existing systems.

  • A single product repository

    One source of truth, from tech pack to e-commerce product page.

  • Documented, traceable flows

    Logged exchanges between systems and with the workshops.

  • Governed AI agents

    Defined scope, human approval, a log of every action, and respect for collection confidentiality.
