PLM for Workwear & Uniform Brands
Powering collaboration and PLM for workwear brands
Workwear leaves no room for guesswork. Garments have to be safe, compliant and hard-wearing. Delogue is the collaborative PLM for workwear that pulls product development, sourcing, key accounts and suppliers into one transparent workflow instead of scattered emails and spreadsheets.
When everyone works on the same live data, you get fewer surprises, faster decisions - and a much tighter grip on your margin.

Why workwear product development is hard to control
Workwear is regulated, customised and built for real-world risk and performance. Specs, materials and documentation have to be right every time, across many styles, contracts and markets. When this work lives in scattered emails, spreadsheets and shared folders, small mistakes in a BOM, a norm reference or a certificate quickly turn into cost leaks and compliance issues. Long tender cycles, frequent updates and close supplier collaboration only add more pressure to an already complex product development setup.
Delogue is the PLM for workwear brands that want to replace fragmented tools with one structured workflow shared by teams and suppliers. It makes the whole process easier to control - with features built around the specific demands of workwear product development.
Safer, compliant specs with Delogue
In workwear, a missing bartack, the wrong reflective tape or an outdated norm reference is not just a mistake - it is a risk. Using Delogue as your PLM for workwear, technicians work with detailed product specifications that can be structured for workwear specifics such as multi-layer garments, reinforcement zones, safety trims, PPE components and size sets.
Simplified approval flows make it easy to log sample feedback - such as wearer trials, lab tests and sign-offs - so there is always a traceable history of what was approved and why.
- keep BOMs, size charts and components aligned in one place
- reuse streamlined templates instead of rebuilding core garments each season
- ensure care label instructions, standards and documentation match the final spec
The result is fewer errors, fewer resamples and far less time spent policing spreadsheets.
Keep design simple and collections durable
Workwear design is about function first - but it still has to express your brand and meet buyer expectations. Designers juggle fits for different job roles, colour codes, branding rules and safety requirements, often across several industries at once.
In Delogue’s PLM for workwear, style creation is simple and structured, so designers can quickly build variants by industry or customer. Design files connect directly to each style, making it easy to visualise the collection by segment - construction, logistics, healthcare, service and more - without losing sight of technical limits or standards.
When key product data lives in the same system, designers can see the impact of fabric or trim changes on cost and compliance earlier - keeping creativity aligned with safety, durability and margin from day one.
Collaborative PLM for workwear that keeps supply chains compliant
For workwear brands, PLM for workwear is crucial in sourcing because contracts are long-term, margins are tight, and every choice is tied to quality and certification.
Delogue is your connected PLM platform, bringing materials, suppliers and collaboration into one place.
- compare supplier offers on cost, MOQs and compliance side by side
- keep approved fabrics, components and factories in a structured sourcing library
- manage certificates - including every transaction certificate - centrally and link them to the right materials and styles
When a certificate expires, a standard changes or a supplier updates a quote, you immediately see which garments are affected, reducing the risk of non-compliance and last-minute fixes.
"We cannot run it on thoughts and assumptions and feelings. Data never lie. Having everything documented and accessible helps us report, audit, and take action faster."
Morten Berthelsen, Sourcing Manager at SIKA Footwear
Protect margin on every tender
Workwear tenders define the full offer to the customer - garment mix, service levels and price points that may need to hold for years. Here, PLM for workwear acts as the commercial backbone.
In Delogue, buyers and key account teams build tender ranges directly on live styles and BOMs, with clear target margins and volume assumptions. They can set up packages by job role or risk level, compare price ladders across options and see the cost and margin impact of changing a fabric, trim or supplier before anything is final.
Once a tender is won, the same validated data flows into the systems that handle ordering and replenishment, so what was promised in the offer matches what is actually produced and delivered. Tender margin stays under control instead of disappearing in small, untracked changes over time.
PLM for workwear that aligns story and data
Distributors, webshops and sales teams all need the same basics: what the garment is for, which standards it meets and why it is worth the price. With Delogue as your PLM for workwear, the story and the data are created in one place.
Each style holds its use cases and safety benefits right next to norms, test results, certifications and care label information. Texts and attributes can be maintained in multiple languages without spawning separate local files for each market.
- build consistent product storytelling for different segments and channels
- maintain multi-language product data without duplicate spreadsheets
-
send easy product data output to B2B portals, catalogues and e-commerce
Product data flows out from a single source of truth, so everyone talks about the same garment in the same way, backed by the same technical facts.
A workflow-driven platform creates a faster way to market
In workwear, timing is almost as critical as quality. With Delogue as your PLM for workwear, development runs in one structured workflow. Teams reuse templates, BOMs and specifications across styles and programmes, rather than building everything from scratch. Approvals, comments and changes are kept in one place, so decisions move faster and fewer issues resurface at the last minute.
Brand and category managers gain a clearer overview of where styles sit in the process and where work is stuck. That makes it easier to unblock bottlenecks, keep collections aligned with the calendar and react when customers or regulations change.
This means shorter development cycles, fewer late changes and workwear collections that hit market and tender deadlines with less chaos and healthier margins.
