“Mix is an amazing tool to develop new designs based on materials and seasonal colours,” John Burch, senior vice president of product for merrell, a Wolverine Worldwide brand. “To be able to explore hundreds of designs and color combinations in full 3D and AR in a matter of seconds is a tremendous boost to our creative process. With the ability to output a virtual Bill of Material and renderings for every variant mix is the first tool to connect creative, production, and retail - and that all from a mobile device.”

Swatchbook mix benefits are countless including: mix generates hundreds of colour and material combinations in seconds; being able to visualise new designs in 3D and AR, brands can reduce the dependency of physical samples by up to 75 per cent. Using digital iterations of existing materials provided suppliers further reduces the need for unnecessary colour sample runs for materials;designers know from the beginning whether their designs are inside their cost and sustainability parameters, thus enabling a much more streamlined development process from the beginning; and every design variant contains a vBOM which can be used directly for manufacturing utilising accurate materials informations and associated quantities.
