Having easy access to detailed product information such as bills of material, images, construction and measurements can help determine costing throughout development, and facilitate comparison with previous products. Knowing the yield, style, and construction details makes this easier to calculate, which in turn can facilitate supplier negotiations for the sourcing team, especially when projected units, colors and delivery times are clearly specified: if, for example, multiple products call for the same or similar fabrics in the same shades, consolidating could decrease material cost. This is something a PLM for fashion should be able to do easily.
