PLM for Footwear Brands

Footwear PLM software that keeps every pair on track

In footwear, fit, comfort and durability must be right every time. Mistakes show up fast, in returns, bad reviews and lost brand loyalty. A wrong last, a mismatched outsole or a sizing issue doesn’t just affect one style, it affects trust in the brand.

Delogue is a collaborative footwear PLM software that brings design, product development, sourcing and suppliers into one transparent workflow. With teams working on the same live data, footwear brands reduce errors, move faster and protect margin across the entire collection.

Footwear PLM software that keeps lasts, fits and specs aligned

In footwear, technical precision defines quality. A small adjustment to a last, stack height or toe shape can affect fit across an entire size run. When specs and approvals are handled in separate files, it becomes difficult to know what is current, and what actually went into production.

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

Shaping footwear collections with a consistent design language

Footwear designers work with form, colour and material expression, but always within real production limits. A cushioning platform may be shared across several models, or a single outsole reused across lifestyle and performance colourways. Without structure, creativity quickly collides with feasibility.

In Delogue’s PLM shoes setup and style creation is simple and structured. Designers build base styles and create variants by changing uppers, materials or colourways while keeping tooling and fit consistent. Design files, sketches, 3D models and renders, are linked directly to each style.

Collections can be visualised by category (running, trail, outdoor, lifestyle), price level or channel. Designers gain freedom to explore, without losing oversight of cost, fit or producibility.

Control components, materials and costs in one Footwear PLM software

Footwear sourcing is driven by components. The same outsole, midsole foam or upper material may be used across many styles, and a late change can affect the whole collection. When supplier updates live outside the core workflow, teams end up reacting instead of deciding.

Keep footwear margins under control across the whole collection

In footwear, margin is shaped early. Tooling investments, component prices and supplier quotes affect profitability long before sales begin. A change to a midsole compound or outsole supplier can impact multiple styles at once, and quietly erode margin if it isn’t visible in time.

In Delogue’s footwear PLM software, buying and category teams calculate costs directly on the style using live BOMs and component-level pricing. Alternative materials or suppliers can be tested early, making margin impact visible before decisions are locked. Because the same data flows into order and production, teams can trust that what was approved is what gets produced.

This keeps margins stable across categories and seasons, instead of being eroded by late changes and hidden cost leaks.

One performance story for every pair, in every channel

Footwear is sold on purpose and performance. Target user, activity and surface, road, trail, indoor or urban, must be clear, along with benefits like cushioning, stability or durability. Too often, this story is separated from the technical facts that support it.

Collaborative Footwear PLM software that keeps up with seasons and drops

Footwear calendars leave little room for delays. Seasonal launches, capsule drops and new performance platforms demand tight coordination. When development runs across disconnected tools, approvals slip and issues surface too late.

As a footwear PLM software, Delogue acts as the workflow engine behind footwear development. Teams reuse templates, specs and components instead of starting from scratch. Tasks, comments and approvals are connected directly to styles, components and certificates, making progress visible and responsibilities clear. Suppliers collaborate in the same system, reducing misalignment.

Delogue becomes a true calendar enabler, shorter development cycles, fewer late changes and collections that land on time.
