Merchmix Forge

About Merchmix Forge

Forge is the merchandising and product lifecycle management (PLM) platform built for footwear and apparel teams — from first concept sketch to sourcing, costing, and production.

Manage your entire product line in one place:

PRODUCTS
Create and track every style through its full lifecycle — attributes, colorways, variants & SKUs, bill of materials, samples, and costing — with a clear view of where each product stands.

MATERIALS & COLOR
Maintain a shared library of materials and Pantone-backed color standards, linked directly to the products and suppliers that use them.

PLANNING & DESIGN
Build mood boards and design references for a season, then translate them into line plans with buckets, units, and delivery timing.

SOURCING & COSTING
Manage your supplier directory, track RFQs from request to award, and keep cost sheets and margins up to date as negotiations progress.

ASSETS
A digital asset library for product photography and reference imagery, organized by product and colorway.

DEVELOPMENT
Track bill-of-materials approvals and sample rounds through every stage of development.

SEARCH, INCLUDING VISUAL SEARCH
Find any product, material, color, or supplier instantly — including AI-powered visual search: upload a reference photo or pick an existing product to find visually similar styles across your catalogue.

CO-PILOT
An AI assistant that answers questions about your live data — inventory, suppliers, RFQs, and more — right inside the app.

REPORTS & CHANNELS
Keep an eye on cross-team activity and manage the sales/distribution channels your products ship to.

Built for merchandisers, designers, sourcing teams, and product developers who need one connected system instead of spreadsheets and email threads. Sign in with your organization's Forge account to get started.
