PLM for Kidswear Brands

PLM for kidswear that keeps safety, sizing and margin in sync

Kidswear has no room for assumptions. Products must be safe, comfortable, durable and easy to care for, while meeting high expectations from parents, retailers and regulators. Small mistakes in sizing, materials or labels quickly turn into returns, complaints and lost trust. When a garment “fits the age” but not the child, or fails after a few washes, confidence disappears fast.

Delogue is a collaborative product development platform, PLM for kidswear, bringing design, product development, sourcing and sales into one transparent workflow. With everyone working on the same live data, brands reduce risk, move faster and keep safety, sizing and margin aligned.

Kidswear development is complex because children don’t grow or move in standard ways. Within the same age group, size variation is large, and confusion between age-based and height-based sizing often leads to garments that technically match the label, but not the child. Sleeves end up too short and neck openings too tight

At the same time, garments must support movement. Kids crawl, climb, sit and run, so patterns designed for static poses quickly fail in real life. Add strict safety rules around drawstrings, small parts, prints and chemicals, plus fast seasonal calendars, and pressure builds quickly. When specs, size charts, safety notes, care label details and documentation like a transaction certificate are spread across emails and Excel files, errors are inevitable.

Delogue acts as the shared foundation, PLM for kidswear that replaces fragmented tools with clarity and control.

PLM for kidswear that keeps specs, sizes and safety aligned

In kidswear, technical accuracy directly affects safety, comfort and trust. A small trim error, missing tolerance or undocumented material change can lead to blocked market entry or costly redesigns. Managing this across multiple size ranges without structure is risky.

With Delogue’s PLM for kidswear, technical teams work from one shared source of truth.

manage BOMs, size charts, construction notes and safety requirements in one place for each style
run structured approval flows for samples, fit sessions and safety tests, with logged history
reuse proven, safety-approved templates for core styles across seasons

This helps keep measurements consistent across sizes, reduces errors in trims that affect safety, and ensures care label information matches real materials and washing reality.

Bill Of Materials

Easy design for playful, practical kidswear collections

Kidswear design must balance playfulness with practicality. Bright colours and prints are great, until they’re placed exactly where stains collect. “Cute” details quickly become a problem when they restrict movement, add weight or irritate the skin.

In Delogue’s PLM for kidswear, designers work with structure that supports real use. Base styles can be adapted by age group, size range or theme, while design files, sketches, prints and artworks stay connected to each style. That makes it easier to see how designs perform across crawling toddlers, active school kids and growing pre-teens.

Collections can be visualised by age, line, theme or channel. Designers gain freedom to explore colour and expression, while keeping comfort, movement and technical boundaries clearly visible.

PLM for kidswear that keeps materials, tests and certificates together

Material choices in kidswear are under constant scrutiny. Fabrics must be soft, breathable and durable, without pilling, shrinking or fading after a few washes. Chemical restrictions are strict, and safety documentation must be complete. When this information is scattered, risk grows.

compare supplier offers on price, MOQ, lead time and compliance
maintain a structured library of approved fabrics, trims and prints organised by age
link documents and certificates, including each transaction certificate, directly to materials and styles

This ensures teams know exactly which materials were used where, which tests apply, and which documents support compliance, reducing late surprises and blocked shipments.

"Moving forward with Delogue, I’m quite keen on seeing how we can expand the collections, how we can work more as a team, and how we can make everything more streamlined in communication, ESG, and compliance."

Keep kidswear margins under control across sizes and seasons

Kidswear margins are fragile. Large size ranges, durability requirements and frequent updates increase cost pressure. A small material change or fit adjustment can impact many sizes at once, and quietly erode margin if it isn’t visible early.

In Delogue’s PLM for kidswear, buying and category teams calculate costs directly on live styles using supplier quotes. Alternative materials or suppliers can be tested early, making margin impact visible before decisions are locked. Because approved data flows into order and production, teams avoid costly last-minute fixes.

This keeps margins stable across sizes and seasons, instead of losing profitability to rework, returns or late changes.

PLM for kidswear that aligns story, data and care labels

Parents buy kidswear based on trust and durability. They want to know where a garment can be used while being in school, playing, sleeping or being outdoors, and how it holds up in daily life. When storytelling and technical data are separated, that trust breaks quickly.

Making kidswear collections land when the market is ready

Kidswear timing is unforgiving. Children grow fast, seasons move on, and retail windows don’t wait. A jacket that arrives late may already be the wrong size, and collections that miss back-to-school or seasonal shifts quickly lose relevance. When development runs across disconnected tools, small issues in sizing, materials or approvals surface too late and push entire collections off schedule.

This is where PLM for kidswear becomes critical. Delogue works as the workflow engine behind kidswear development, bringing specs, samples, approvals and updates into one structured process. Proven setups and core styles are reused instead of rebuilt, while approvals, comments and changes are gathered in one place, making progress visible and responsibilities clear.

Delogue shortens development cycles, reduces late surprises and helps collections land when children, and the market, are ready.
