CAD + Product Development
One place to build every product before you buy it: the CAD, colorways, specs, factory costs and margin, sample status, and which buyers picked it from your line sheet.
- Problem
- CADs, specs and factory quotes live in email threads and folders.
- Platforms
- Web
- Stack
- Angular · Django · Azure Blob · PDF export

Common questions
Do designers have to change how they work?
No. Designers keep working in Illustrator or their CAD tool and upload exports. The system organizes versions, colorways and approvals around those files.
Can buyers see our line before samples exist?
Yes. That is the point of selling from CADs: you share a line sheet of approved designs, collect selections and commit quantities before you place the factory order.
Does it replace a full PLM system?
For most wholesalers and importers it covers what they use a PLM for, without the cost and setup. If you already have a PLM, we can connect to it instead.
