TEXbase is a collaborative software application that enables teams involved in apparel design and development to more effectively manage fabric development and material sourcing.

Product innovation and integrity, beginning at the material level, are key competitive differentiators for leading apparel brands in today’s markets. Most early-stage fabric sourcing and development is conducted manually through a combination of spreadsheets, emails, and meetings resulting in excess time gathering and managing data. This results in teams spending too much time dealing with data overload and not enough time collaborating internally and with suppliers. PDM systems are effective in addressing the needs of organizations post BOM. Organizations are realizing that PDM systems are not built for the dynamic nature of material development in the apparel industry where fabric sourcing and development work is still performed manually.

TEXbase is comprised of three main components: Material Sourcing and Development, Product Integrity Management, and Supplier Relationship Management.
