PolyPM is fashion ERP software built for manufacturers producing seasonal collections, ready-to-wear lines, luxury garments, fast fashion runs, contemporary apparel, and designer programs. Fashion production rarely repeats the same SKU twice. New colorways every season. Sample development running parallel to active production. Tech packs moving from design to the cutting floor in compressed windows. Multiple vendors and contract factories feeding into a single collection. PolyPM holds product data, sample history, materials, and production execution inside one connected system so fashion manufacturers stop running collections from disconnected spreadsheets and email threads.
Fashion manufacturers carry pressure most apparel categories never face: collections must arrive on schedule or they miss the season entirely, and the production floor has to absorb spec changes that keep arriving after sampling closes. PolyPM gives fashion manufacturing teams a single source of truth across styles, BOMs, materials, costing, decoration, and shipment, so when a designer or buyer makes a change, the change reaches production without restarting a manual chain of approvals. As fashion ERP software, it ties seasonal product development directly to production execution rather than treating them as separate worlds.
Whether you produce swimwear, activewear, luxury collections, contemporary fashion, fast fashion runs, or designer programs, PolyPM supports fashion manufacturing from sample through finished collection.
Style configurations, BOMs, tech packs, costing, materials, lab dips, work in progress, and shipping all live in one centralized database. Fashion manufacturers stop maintaining the same data across QuickBooks, Adobe files, Excel, and disconnected production tools.
Native style plans and options with seasonal planning integration. Fashion manufacturers manage colorways, size curves, fabric substitutions, and trim configurations per collection without breaking the system between seasons.
Style development workflows take a tech pack from design through sampling and into production inside the same fashion ERP software. No re-entry, no version mismatches between what was approved and what hits the cutting floor.
Full lab dip lifecycle with digital approval and color certificate management. For fashion manufacturers running new colorways every season, this is structural, not optional.

Style sourcing and vendor relationship management run inside PolyPM. Fashion manufacturers coordinating across multiple factories, contract sewers, and material suppliers keep vendor-style relationships visible and current.
PolyPM customers move from version to version without rebuilding the system. Fashion manufacturers preserve the seasonal templates, vendor configurations, and decoration setups they have already invested in.
Coordinate orders, inventory, production scheduling, decoration, and shipments inside a system designed for seasonal high-variation production.
Centralize style development, BOMs, measurement specs, lab dips, tech packs, and seasonal planning inside a PLM built for fashion manufacturers managing collection cycles.
Track fabrics, trims, components, and finished collection inventory with roll-level visibility, multi-location stock, and shortage alerts.
Manage cutting, sewing, decoration, bundles, subcontractor work, and shipment coordination so seasonal commitments hold across compressed production windows.
Polygon Software has built apparel manufacturing systems since 1986. Fashion manufacturers, swimwear producers, activewear teams, luxury collection houses, and contemporary apparel brands across North America and Latin America run PolyPM as their production backbone. Customers consistently point to the same things: implementations that finish, support staff who understand fashion production as well as the software, and a system that protects the seasonal templates and vendor relationships fashion manufacturers depend on for collection-to-collection continuity. Fashion manufacturers running PolyPM report sharper inventory accuracy across seasonal SKU expansion, cleaner sample-to-production handoffs, and the operational control that keeps collections on schedule.
COO of Amoena
"With the assistance of Polygon’s support staff, we were able to deploy PolyPM in 8 weeks, including 2 weeks in which we were shut down over the holiday period. By January 2 we had all of our orders and a complete raw material inventory in the system. Four months later we reduced our order backlog to weeks rather than months and brought the management of our inventory totally under control."
General Manager of League Central America
"We trained on PolyPM and the implementation was professionally managed. Any problems were self-inflicted, but Polygon’s staff helped guide us around them and kept us moving in the direction toward a successful implementation. My team is very happy with PolyPM."
CEO of ProDept
"With the assistance of Polygon’s support staff, we were able to deploy PolyPM in 8 weeks, including 2 weeks in which we were shut down over the holiday period. By January 2 we had all of our orders and a complete raw material inventory in the system. Four months later we reduced our order backlog to weeks rather than months and brought the management of our inventory totally under control. As a result, our customer service levels and fulfillment rates improved significantly. We’ve enjoyed the benefit of using many of PolyPM’s great features designed specifically for apparel makers. Over the years we’ve added Scan & Pack, EDI, shop floor tracking, sample development, cut planning, and production scheduling."

PolyPM is fashion ERP software built around how seasonal sewn-goods operations actually run. Fashion manufacturers manage style development, BOMs, lab dips, colorways, decoration, and production execution inside one system. Because product data and production share the same database, a tech pack update or BOM change reaches the cutting floor and the decoration line at the same time, instead of being chased across departments and email threads.
Yes. Native style plans and options with seasonal planning integration handle the collection-to-collection turnover fashion production runs on. Fashion manufacturers can launch new seasons, retire old ones, and manage colorway expansions inside the same fashion ERP software without forcing production back to spreadsheets between releases.
Yes. Embroidery, screen printing, and sublimation are treated as native production operations. Artwork workflow, press scheduling, location-based routing, and multi-location print tracking run inside the same system that handles cutting and sewing. For fashion manufacturers, this means the embroidery line shows up on the same production schedule as the sewing floor, not in a parallel tool.
Yes. Style development workflows take styles from tech pack through sampling into production inside one system. Fashion manufacturers running sampling for next season’s collection while producing the current one can keep both inside the same fashion ERP software, with version control preserving the difference between approved samples and active production.
Style sourcing and vendor-style relationships are native. Fashion manufacturers coordinating across multiple contract factories, material suppliers, and decoration partners can manage vendor data, costing per vendor, and production allocation inside one system. Multi-currency support handles cross-border production naturally.
Yes. The full lab dip lifecycle runs inside PolyPM, with digital approval and color certificate management. For fashion manufacturers developing new colorways every season, lab dip records stay tied to the styles, programs, and customer approvals they belong to, without living in a separate folder system. This is one of the reasons PolyPM functions as real fashion ERP software rather than generic apparel ERP adapted to seasonal work. (For a deeper look at how PolyPM supports the fashion industry, see our guide to ERP for the fashion industry.)
Yes. Multi-plant scheduling with capacity planning by facility is native, plus full transfer tracking between locations. Fashion manufacturers running multiple production sites or coordinating across the US, Latin America, and beyond can keep product data, lab dips, and production visibility consistent everywhere.
Yes. PolyPM runs PLM and ERP on a single shared database. Style development, BOMs, measurement specs, lab dips, color approvals, and seasonal plans share the same data backbone as inventory, costing, production, and order management. A tech pack change in development updates the rest of the system automatically, which is what makes PolyPM real fashion ERP software rather than two tools forced to talk to each other.
Yes. PolyPM scales from smaller fashion operations to enterprise-level manufacturers running thousands of seasonal SKUs across multiple facilities. Fashion manufacturers do not outgrow the system, and they do not go through reimplementation projects every few years to stay current. Customers move version to version without rebuilding workflows, which protects the seasonal templates and vendor configurations fashion manufacturers have already invested in.
Implementation is structured but flexible. Polygon’s team works with fashion manufacturers to map the current production workflow, prepare data for migration, configure the system against real seasonal production needs, pilot on a live collection, and roll out across the operation. Hands-on, performance-based training builds skills inside the factory while normal operations continue. After go-live, subscription-based support gives fashion manufacturers access to specialists who understand both PolyPM and fashion production. Discovery calls and demos are available in English and Spanish, which matters for fashion manufacturers operating across North America and Latin America.
Seasonal templates that hold. Sample development that flows into production. Tech packs that arrive on the cutting floor matching the approved spec. If your current platform handles fashion like generic apparel, the production floor pays for the gap every season. Our team can walk you through (in English or Spanish) how PolyPM, fashion ERP software built for real production, fills those gaps inside one system.
We’re here to share information, not push a sale, so fashion manufacturers can take a real look at how fashion ERP software designed for production might fit their setup.
"The folks at Polygon have been crucial to the success of each implementation. They stay with the implementation until it is doing well and continue to support and enhance the system after implementation. Their knowledge of systems and manufacturing has been invaluable in helping us to become efficient and grow the company."
