AI for Fashion: Transforming Product Development, Sourcing, and Compliance
Artificial intelligence is redefining how fashion brands design, develop, and deliver products. As digital workflows, 3D design, and data-driven sourcing grow, AI fashion software drives new creativity. It also improves supply chain visibility and helps with sustainable decision-making.
DeSL built its web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform for this shift. DeSL uses AI tools, advanced models, digital assets, and predictive analytics. This helps fashion teams use AI throughout the product lifecycle. They can turn data into action.
AI as a Creative Partner in the Design Process
Fashion design is moving from physical sampling to digital-first creation. Designers are using generative AI, 3D prototyping, and digital fabrics to work faster while reducing waste.
DeSL helps this change with AI fashion software. It combines creative ideas with organized PLM data. This helps teams turn ideas into concepts more accurately.
Generate photorealistic garment concepts from prompts in seconds, helping designers explore more ideas without slowing the creative process.
Replace multiple physical samples with accurate 3D prototypes connected to PLM data to reduce waste, cut sampling costs, and speed up approvals.
Link every digital asset to materials, trims, and BOM data so design, development, and sourcing teams all work from a consistent source of truth.
Reduce physical iterations and evaluate sustainable materials earlier with digital tools to lower environmental impact while maintaining creative quality.
AI Document Reading for Compliance & Traceability
Compliance is one of the most manual and error-prone parts of fashion production. DeSL simplifies this through AI document reading that scans, extracts, and validates compliance data automatically.
Using AI to manage certifications, test reports, and audit documents helps brands lower risk. This also builds a stronger foundation for complete traceability.
Scan and extract details from certificates and reports automatically to eliminate manual entry and improve data accuracy.
Flag missing or inconsistent compliance details instantly so teams can correct issues earlier and avoid costly errors.
Store all compliance documents inside PLM and link them to products or suppliers to simplify audits and strengthen traceability.
Connect documentation to full product records to support digital product passport requirements and improve sustainability reporting.
Integrated AI Copilots Across PLM
DeSL embeds AI copilots into familiar, browser-based workflows to make advanced AI capabilities intuitive and accessible. These copilots use AI models to answer questions in natural language. They can create summaries, fill data fields, draft specifications, and find anomalies. They do all this without changing how teams already work.
This approach makes implementing AI practical, scalable, and user-friendly for design, sourcing, development, and merchandising teams.
Ask questions directly inside PLM and receive instant answers powered by large language models to speed up information retrieval.
Populate fields automatically using text or image extraction to eliminate repetitive data entry and maintain clean, consistent data.
Generate summaries of design notes or draft specifications instantly to keep workflows moving and reduce administrative workload.
Detect unusual costs, lead times, or deviations from norms early so teams can correct issues before they impact production.
Driving the Future of Digital Fashion
The future of fashion depends on structured data, connected workflows, and AI fashion software that makes information actionable. DeSL’s mission is to help with digital transformation. It connects every stage of the product lifecycle into one source of truth.
DeSL uses AI in PLM and sourcing workflows. This helps brands cut waste and speed up development. It also improves supplier choices and boosts sustainability. As a result, brands can deliver products that satisfy digital-first consumers.
Fashion thrives on reinvention, and with AI and PLM working together, the industry is entering its next great evolution.
