Key Takeaway
- CLO-SET brings together a centralized 3D asset library, browser-based review, and Web Tech Packs for fashion product-development teams.
- Reviewers can add viewpoint-based annotations in the 3D and 2D viewers, and leave Content-level comments while reviewing BOM, POM, and Cost Estimation information on the Content Page.
- Company Admins can configure Workflow names for Content and Status names for Colorways to track progress alongside PLM.
Design and product-development teams can use CLO-SET to organize reusable 3D assets, review styles in a browser, and manage related product information alongside existing PLM and enterprise systems. Its Workrooms organize collaborative work and content, while Assortments support assortment planning and final review; the platform also includes version-linked review, Web Tech Packs, and configurable Workflow and Status tracking.
Version-Linked 3D Review and Web Tech Packs
In a browser review, a technical designer can set a viewpoint and add an annotation to a specific detail in the 3D Viewer or 2D Pattern Viewer. Annotations are distinct from Comments: annotations provide marked-up visual feedback in the viewer, while Content-level Comments let the team discuss a style across the Content Page.
The viewer includes Quality Render with Depth Peeling, a Strain Map, and 3D Quality Check. Comments include an AI translation option. By default, the Comment view shows comments across all Content Versions; users can filter to comments from the current version.
On the Content Page, team members can participate in Content-level discussions while reviewing Overview, Viewer, BOM, POM, and Cost Estimation. When uploading a new Style Content Version, users can select whether to update the related Web Tech Pack information from the new file. A Web Tech Pack is created per supported Content Version; the update is user-selected, not automatic.
Centralized Asset Library and Workroom Structure
CLO-SET's Centralized Asset Library and Company Library let teams store and reuse shared assets such as fabrics, trims, block patterns, avatars, and brand logos.
Workrooms and Child Workrooms provide spaces for organizing and sharing work and content, while Assortments are used for assortment planning and final review. Assortments can be created within a season, and Workroom content can be added to them. CLO-SET also supports Content Version Upload and linked parent-child contents. Access follows a permission hierarchy across Company, Brand, Season, Line, Workroom, and other spaces.
Configurable Workflow and Colorway Status Tracking
Moving a garment from initial 3D concept to sample signoff requires tracking the overall style progress alongside individual colorway decisions. CLO-SET separates these two layers: Workflow is managed at the Content level, while Status is managed at the Colorway level. Through Company Settings, a Company Admin can configure custom Workflow and Status names to match the organization's internal milestones, and set a Leadtime End Status to support Workflow Leadtime analysis.
To monitor how long styles spend in each stage, Content Analysis provides data on Workflow lead times and activity, allowing teams to inspect the history of Workflow updates and the elapsed time between each update. Keep in mind that CLO-SET comments, annotations, views, status fields, and quality checks do not automatically constitute a formal, completed approval record. In addition, assignees and response deadlines can be communicated within your team's agreed process, such as inside the Comment text itself or in a separate organizational work log.
