NGC Software API
NGC Software (now part of Logility) provides cloud PLM, supply chain, and ERP software for fashion, apparel, footwear, and retail brands through its Andromeda platform. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull styles, tech packs, materials, purchase orders, vendor and compliance records, and shipment data—and push updates like new styles, cost sheets, and PO changes back into NGC Andromeda.
What is NGC Software?
NGC Software (New Generation Computing, now part of Logility and a subsidiary of American Software) provides cloud Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and ERP software for fashion, apparel, footwear, accessories, and retail brands. Through its Andromeda cloud platform, brands manage the entire product lifecycle—from design, line planning, and tech pack creation through sourcing, costing, vendor compliance, quality control, and delivery. NGC customers include brands such as Billabong, Canada Goose, Carter's, Foot Locker, Spanx, and VF Corporation.
Core product areas include:
- Andromeda PLM (line planning, ideation, concept management, tech packs, material development, sampling, costing, critical path)
- Andromeda SCM (sourcing, purchase order management, production tracking, logistics)
- Andromeda Quality Control and Vendor Compliance
- NGC ERP / Global Enterprise Suite (order management, inventory, financials)
- Optimization suite (Demand, Inventory, Supply, and Retail Optimization)
Common data entities:
- Styles, Seasons, Line Plans, Concepts, Colorways
- Tech Packs, Bills of Materials, Materials, Samples, Cost Sheets
- Purchase Orders, Shipments, ASNs, Production Milestones
- Vendors, Factories, Compliance Audits, Quality Inspections
- Inventory, Sales Orders, SKUs, Customers
The NGC Software Integration Challenge
Brands run mission-critical design, sourcing, and production workflows on NGC Andromeda daily, but turning its portal- and workflow-driven product development into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Per-brand configuration: Style attributes, tech pack templates, costing structures, and critical-path workflows are tailored per brand—generic integrations break across tenants
- Multi-module spread: PLM, SCM, Quality Control, Vendor Compliance, and ERP each have their own object models, IDs, and lifecycle states
- Partner and deployment gates: Cloud Andromeda tenants and legacy on-prem deployments expose different surfaces, and API access often requires partnership or professional-services engagement
- Authentication complexity: SSO and MFA are common in enterprise apparel environments and complicate headless automation
- Vendor and factory data fragmentation: Compliance audits, inspections, and shipment milestones span overseas suppliers with inconsistent data formats
- Document and attachment workflows: Tech packs, artwork, lab dips, and compliance certificates need careful upload/download and version handling
- Critical-path timing: Style milestones, sample approvals, and PO commitments require precise effective-date and status handling
How Supergood Creates NGC Software APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows across NGC Andromeda's PLM, SCM, and ERP modules to deliver a resilient API layer for your tenant—whether you run cloud Andromeda or a legacy Global Enterprise Suite deployment.
- Handles username/password, SSO, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across Styles, Tech Packs, Purchase Orders, Vendors, and Shipments so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Aligns with brand-specific style attributes, tech pack templates, and entitlements to ensure compliant access

API Endpoints
Authentication
/authenticateAuthenticate to an NGC Andromeda tenant using username/password, SSO, or MFA and obtain a session token for downstream calls.
Product Development
/stylesList styles, colorways, and line plans with filters for season, status, division, and brand.
Product Development
/create_styleCreate a new style with attributes, tech pack references, and bill of materials against the brand's configured template.
Sourcing
/purchase_ordersRetrieve purchase orders, production milestones, and shipment status with vendor and delivery-date filters.
Sourcing
/create_purchase_orderIssue a purchase order to a vendor with line items, costing, and delivery commitments.
Compliance
/vendorsPull vendors, factories, compliance audits, and quality inspection records across the supplier network.
Use Cases
Sync product development data into PLM and DAM systems
- Pull styles, tech packs, materials, and cost sheets from Andromeda PLM into a single warehouse - Stream sample approval and critical-path milestone events to downstream design and merchandising tools - Reconcile colorway and BOM records across seasons for unified product 360
Automate sourcing and purchase order workflows
- Push purchase orders and costing into Andromeda SCM and pull production milestones back for visibility - Trigger vendor allocation and re-order workflows based on demand and inventory signals - Route PO changes, delays, and approvals without portal clicks
Track vendor compliance and quality control
- Sync vendor, factory, and compliance audit records into supplier governance systems - Match quality inspection results against shipment milestones and PO commitments - Surface failed audits and chargebacks to sourcing and finance teams
Unify order and inventory data across ERP
- Sync sales orders, SKUs, and inventory from NGC ERP into downstream commerce and OMS platforms - Reconcile shipments and ASNs against purchase orders for accurate fulfillment - Feed inventory and demand signals into optimization and replenishment tools

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Supergood normalizes data across Andromeda PLM (styles, tech packs, materials, costing) and SCM (purchase orders, production milestones, shipments), so you integrate product development and sourcing entities once across both modules.
No. Supergood works with your existing NGC Andromeda entitlements and authenticated sessions. No separate vendor partnership or public API program approval is required.
Yes. Supergood adapts to either deployment model—cloud Andromeda tenants or legacy on-prem Global Enterprise Suite—operating against the same authenticated surfaces with configuration tuned to your environment.
Yes. Vendor records, factory profiles, compliance audits, and quality inspections are exposed through the same normalized API surface, so supplier governance data sits alongside PLM and SCM entities.
Each tenant is profiled against its configured style attributes, tech pack templates, and costing structures. Supergood preserves brand-specific fields and lifecycle states rather than forcing a generic schema.
