A buyer wants the updated spec. Design has revision 7 in an email thread, sourcing is costing revision 5 from a spreadsheet, and the factory just cut a sample from revision 6. Nobody is wrong — there simply is no single answer to "what's the latest?" So launches slip, samples get re-cut, and margin bleeds out one avoidable error at a time.
Design Nova replaces that chaos with one source of truth. It's Acube's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, built since 2011 to connect everyone who touches a product — design, sourcing, vendors and the factory floor — around the same up-to-date data, so you launch faster with far fewer expensive mistakes.

"Which revision is final?" sparks a daily argument.
Samples get re-cut because someone worked from an old spec.
Costing is a guess until the BOM is finally pinned down — usually too late.
Vendor messages live in a dozen inboxes and WhatsApp groups.
Your tech pack is re-keyed by hand into the ERP, with errors.
Launches slip and nobody can point to where the time went.
Design Nova is enterprise PLM software that manages the full product lifecycle — concept, design, collaborate, manufacture, distribute, sell, support and sustain. Purpose-built with apparel and product development in mind, it integrates people, data, processes and business systems, and streamlines supply-chain and vendor communication so distributed teams work as one.
Today, Acube delivers Design Nova's capabilities on ERPNext, connecting product development directly to manufacturing, inventory and finance — so a tech pack flows cleanly into a BOM, a work order and a costed product, without anyone re-keying across systems.

|---|---|
| Concept | Capture requirements and development requests; line planning with placeholders for styles, fabrics and trims; resource assignment and progress tracking. |
| Design | Product and style management to plan, select and modify styles; tech packs and design specifications. |
| Collaborate | One secure source of truth for every contributor, regardless of location. |

A product that ships a season late doesn't just arrive late — it arrives into a smaller window, often at a markdown, after burning cost on re-cut samples and expedited freight to claw the time back. PLM compresses that gap by killing the rework: one current spec, costed early, handed cleanly to the factory. The return shows up as faster launches, fewer write-offs and protected margin — every cycle.
