Traceability Features for Transparent Supply Chains
Traceability Tools for Transparent Supply Chains
Traceability in fashion is no longer optional. Brands are expected to know where products come from, how they are made, and which standards they meet - and to document it clearly.
Delogue’s traceability tools are built to support this reality. By structuring compliance data, documentation, and test results directly within product development, Delogue helps fashion and lifestyle brands work more transparently.

Built-In Traceability for Modern Fashion Product Development
Traceability only works when it is part of daily workflows.
Delogue integrates compliance and documentation directly into the product lifecycle, ensuring information stays accurate, up to date, and linked to the right products and components.
Rather than treating traceability as a separate reporting task, Delogue embeds it into the same system that teams already use for styles, materials, BOMs, and supplier collaboration.
This reduces manual work, improves data quality, and strengthens trust across the supply chain, because documents are linked directly to the styles and components.
Why Documentation Matters for Transparency and Trust
Fashion supply chains are complex. Materials pass through multiple hands, certifications expire, audits are updated, and test requirements vary by market and product type. Without structure, documentation quickly becomes outdated or incomplete.
End-to-end traceability
Clear traceability from material to finished product, enabling faster responses to audits, customer requests, and regulatory demands.
Compliance control
Document transparency
Compliance Tools That Keep Documentation Connected and Controlled
Delogue’s Compliance module is designed to manage the full range of documentation required in fashion and lifestyle product development - without relying on external folders or spreadsheets.
All compliance information is stored centrally and linked directly to styles, materials, and components, creating a clear and traceable documentation structure.
Let's get into the Compliance Module: One Place for All Product Documentation
Certificates, Scopes, and Social Audits
Compliance only works when documentation is current and connected to the products it covers. Delogue’s Compliance module keeps key documents in one place, linked directly to styles and components, and supports key documentation types.
-
Transaction certificates
-
Certification scopes
-
Social audits and supplier documentation
For each document, teams upload files in the platform, set valid-from and valid-to dates, and link them to the relevant styles or components.
That makes it clear where each certificate applies, while visibility of current and expired documentation is maintained automatically so gaps are easy to spot.
With certificates, scopes, and audits connected to product data, teams always know what’s covered and what’s still valid.
Test Reports Linked to Products and Components
Testing is a critical part of product development and compliance, and Delogue allows teams to manage test reports alongside other product data in one connected workflow.
Test reports and results can be uploaded directly into the Compliance module and linked to specific styles and individual components, ensuring clarity about what has been tested and where the results apply.
Teams can record detailed test outcomes and track when tests were requested and when results were received, creating a complete testing timeline.
This builds a clear and auditable testing history for each product, supporting both internal quality control processes and external documentation requirements without relying on separate systems or manual tracking.
Traceability Without Manual Chasing
When compliance documentation is linked directly to product data, traceability becomes part of everyday work.
Teams no longer need to cross-check multiple systems to understand compliance status or confirmations. Instead, reviews can be handled within Delogue with an overview of what applies to each product.
Preparing for audits or reporting is less disruptive, as documentation and status are already structured and accessible. This creates greater confidence in product readiness and reduces last-minute uncertainty.
