Need More Information? Launchmetrics Samples FAQs

What is Launchmetrics Samples?

Launchmetrics Samples is the leading sample management solution built specifically for Fashion, Lifestyle, and Beauty (FLB) brands and agencies. It helps you organize, plan, and track the physical journey of every sample, from your showroom to press, influencers, photo studios and back, so you always know where your pieces are, who has them, and what impact they’re generating.

Who is Launchmetrics Samples designed for?

Samples is built for teams who work directly with physical samples, including PR and communications teams managing press loans and editorial placements, warehouse and logistics managers overseeing sample inventory, merchandising teams needing to keep track of collections and archive teams maintaining visibility over past-season pieces. Samples is equally suitable for enterprise brands with complex, multi-department, multi-region operations as it is for small and mid-sized brands and agencies that need to manage seasonal press send-outs.

Which geographic markets does Launchmetrics Samples serve?

We operate across 12 markets globally and support our customers in five languages. Samples is used by brands with showrooms and offices across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and beyond, including clients in key fashion markets such as France, Italy, the UK, the US and China. Unlike manual tracking or spreadsheets, Launchmetrics Samples is specifically designed to handle the complexity of global sample movement, including multi-region teams, cross-border shipments, and international press coverage.

How is Launchmetrics Samples different from a PLM solution? Does Samples integrate with my PLM platform?

PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) tools manage the product concept, including specifications, materials, and production workflows, across a product line. Launchmetrics Samples manages the physical sample itself on an individual level, tracking its movements, loans, and activations once it exists as a tangible piece. The PLM is the dictionary defining what a product is and Samples acts as the tracking log of everything that happens to it in the real world. The two solutions are complementary: Launchmetrics Samples can integrate with PLM systems via API to sync product data, workflow status, location, and purchase orders.

Does Launchmetrics Samples work across departments, not just PR?

Absolutely. While PR teams are often the main users of Samples for creating external send-outs and editorial tracking, Samples also creates efficiencies across the business for other teams. Design teams reduce time locating and managing production and archive samples. Photo studio teams can access assets faster and shorten publication timelines. Sales teams gain visibility into sample availability to maximize commercial opportunities. Control and logistics teams can streamline customs and duty processes. The platform acts as a single, centralized source of truth for sample information across every team. If you’re interested in tracking your samples across your business, including across multiple countries, departments or locations, visit our Enterprise Samples page for more information.

What results do Launchmetrics Samples customers typically see?

By giving teams real-time visibility over every sample’s location and status, customers can see up to a 95% reduction in sample losses, translating to real cost savings for brands. Our users are also able to save up to 35 hours of manual work per week through automating previously manual processes, which also facilitates the ability to fulfill up to 4 times more samples requests.
