About TEXbase

The World's Leading Brands choose TEXbase to increase brand integrity, product quality, revenue and market share by enabling efficient development.  Created by industry experts with deep material development experience, TEXbase is the standard for collaborative material management and development software.  TEXbase accelerates material development for organizations in the Apparel and Textile Industries to create the necessary efficiencies in production to gain a competitive advantage for future viability.

To date, PLM systems have focused on creating efficiencies beginning at the bill of materials, ignoring the most critical aspect of production; material development.  TEXbase fills this niche by focusing on the front-end of product development beginning at the fiber level to reduce overall cycle time with the ability to connect with downstream PLM, PDM and ERP systems.

TEXbase allows customers to reduce operating expenses while increasing revenues by improving research and development processes, shortening product lifecycles, and improving brand integrity and product innovation.
