Bamboo Rose, a leader in enterprise software solutions for the retail industry, is thrilled to announce the launch of TotalPLM™, a transformative product lifecycle management (PLM) platform. TotalPLM represents the culmination of a strategic product overhaul, introducing an unparalleled suite of AI-driven retail technologies designed to revolutionize the retail sector.
With features spanning planning and merchandising, creative collaboration, product development, sourcing, supplier relationship management, order management, and global trade management, TotalPLM sets a new benchmark for retail technology. This innovative solution has already earned recognition, with Bamboo Rose ranked as a leader in the December 2024 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail, Footwear & Apparel PLM Vendor Assessment 2024.
“Our customers have made it clear that they need a proven retail technology partner that delivers consistent and tightly integrated value across the entire product lifecycle. We have been working hard on this over the past two years, and TotalPLM is the result of those efforts. From planning and ideation to development and sourcing, purchasing and logistics, we look forward to leading the industry and meeting our customers’ needs at every stage of their digital journey,” said Matt Stevens, Managing Director of Bamboo Rose.
Revolutionary New Features of TotalPLM
TotalPLM introduces three groundbreaking features that elevate its capabilities:
Creative Collaboration with BR-Create
At the heart of TotalPLM is BR-Create, a new module powered by VibeIQ, debuting at NRF 2025. This feature redefines collaboration in retail by enabling seamless communication between retailers and designers before the formal PLM process begins.
“PLM systems are proven to improve efficiency and flexibility in a retailer or brand’s supply chain,” said Mark Harrop, consultant at WhichPLM. “However, the structured and repeatable processes that make these systems effective can also mean additional work upfront before final decisions are made. Through the partnership between Bamboo Rose and VibeIQ, TotalPLM enables seamless collaboration between retailers and designers, giving customers much-needed capabilities to stay competitive in an ever-evolving market.”
BR-Create enables design and merchandising teams to visualize products in real time, manage feedback seamlessly, and streamline their processes—all within the fully integrated TotalPLM platform. This feature bridges gaps between teams, ensuring better alignment and faster decision-making.
“When we founded VibeIQ, we saw a critical gap in the market: there was a lack of effective collaboration between planning, merchandising, design, and product development,” said Brian Lindauer, Managing Director of VibeIQ. “By joining forces with Bamboo Rose, we’re transforming the way brands and retailers collaborate, innovate, and bring their best products to market across the entire product lifecycle.”

AI-Powered Insights with BR-Decision Intelligence
With the integration of Verteego, TotalPLM now offers BR-Decision Intelligence, a machine-learning-powered feature that introduces a horizontal AI approach to PLM. This technology delivers unparalleled agility and precision, helping companies make data-driven decisions throughout the product lifecycle.
Enhanced Planning with BR-Plan
Following Bamboo Rose’s acquisition of Foresight Retail, the BR-Plan module connects planning and merchandising with product development. By enabling bidirectional data flows, BR-Plan provides retailers with greater visibility and control, ensuring alignment across all stages of the product lifecycle.
