Mercer

What Mercer Does

Mercer is an all-in-one AI-powered platform that empowers fashion professionals to streamline product design and development from initial concept through to production. The platform combines generative AI design tools with collaborative project management features, enabling independent designers, small fashion houses, and established brands to create, iterate, and manage fashion collections more efficiently.

Who It's For & Key Problems Solved

Mercer serves independent designers, small fashion houses, and established fashion brands seeking to accelerate their design process and improve team collaboration. It solves the common challenges of fragmented workflows, inconsistent brand aesthetics, and time-consuming communication with manufacturers by centralizing all design assets, creative processes, and production communications in a single platform.

Key Features & Capabilities

• AI Designer Tool: Generate fashion designs from text prompts, inspiration photos, hand sketches, or CADs using Flux and Stable Diffusion models
• Custom AI Model Training: Train brand-specific AI models ("Influences") using reference imagery from past collections to maintain consistent brand aesthetics across new product development
• Product Variations: Quickly create multiple iterations and colorways of designs
• AI Paintbrush Editing: Make precise edits to generated designs
• Centralized Asset Management: Store and organize all creative files, tech packs, images, videos, 3D files, and spreadsheets in one location
• Team Collaboration: Add comments, measurements, and notes directly on design files; assign tasks to team members with email notifications
• Task Management: Keep projects on track with checklists, timelines, and review workflows
• Production Partner Integration: Share designs with manufacturers through print-ready PDFs and collection links without external file transfer services
• Collection Management: Export collection details to print-ready files

Typical Workflows

Designers can start with AI-generated concepts or upload existing sketches and CADs, then refine designs using the AI editing tools while collaborating with team members through in-platform comments and task assignments. The platform supports the entire journey from ideation to manufacturer handoff, with enterprise customers also gaining access to Mercer's global manufacturing network.

What Differentiates Mercer

Mercer is intentionally model-agnostic, allowing it to integrate the latest AI models as they become available. Unlike generic design tools, it's purpose-built for fashion with features like product variations, brand-specific AI training, and seamless manufacturer collaboration. Users retain full ownership of their designs and trained models, with privacy protections ensuring customer data is never used to train foundational AI models.
