PLM for Design Teams

 

PLM fashion: Better workflow for design teams

 

 

Designers work in sketches and visuals, and the work changes fast as ideas evolve. 


What slows it down isn’t creativity, but missing context when information is spread across tools. Design choices also carry real consequences, shaping cost, margin and timing long before a style is final. 


Delogue PLM for fashion keeps design work connected to the wider product development flow, so teams stay aligned as styles move forward.

Designers are expected to move fast, while staying creative. But when style information is spread across files and messaging tools, daily workflows quickly become fragmented. 


Scattered files and feedback are easily buried. Instead of being creative, designers spend time searching for information and answering the same questions.


In this kind of setup, comments and approvals lose their connection to the product itself and small misunderstandings escalate into late-stage changes.


In environments lacking in a PLM for fashion, design work becomes increasingly difficult to manage, maintain, and scale across collections and teams.

What PLM fashion changes in your day as a designer

Delogue PLM for fashion changes how design work feels day to day. Instead of managing information across tools, designers work from one live style view where visuals, files, comments, and decisions stay connected.

 

Design work becomes clearer, calmer, and easier to share with the rest of the team and the suppliers. With Delogue, designers stay focused on design through simple style creation, connected design files and visualised collections.

Simple and easy style creation

Designers create styles directly in Delogue with a clear structure from the start, adding core information and visuals once and reusing them throughout development - no re-entering data.

Connect your design files

Sketches, CAD files, artworks, and references are linked directly to the style. No more guessing which file belongs to which version or digging through folders to find the right one.

Visualise the entire collection

Designers can view styles together as a collection, making it easier to balance silhouettes, colors, and stories. The collection evolves visually as designs move forward.

Collective PLM for fashion: From first sketch to final spec in one flow 

 

 

Great design doesn’t happen in isolation. Every style moves from development into supplier execution, with each step relying on the last.


PLM for fashion connects these stages in one shared flow, so design intent carries through accurately. Designers work in the same system as product development, buying and suppliers - all aligned around the same product data.


As styles evolve, specifications are built and refined in context, so technical details are ready when suppliers need them. This supports earlier alignment on feasibility and provides clear visibility into design changes.

Keeping design, product development and 3D fashion design in sync

 

 

As 3D fashion design becomes a bigger part of product development, strong alignment across teams and tools becomes essential. 


When 3D systems operate separately from product data, designs risk drifting away from technical reality as changes accumulate. 


Delogue supports a workflow where PLM in fashion connects design, product development, and 3D fashion design within one shared structure. Design files, specifications, and updates remain linked directly to the style, regardless of whether they originate from 2D or 3D tools.

The design data you need, without the hunting

 

Designers need context, not spreadsheets. With Delogue PLM for fashion, relevant information is available directly on the style, presented in a way that supports creative work rather than turning designers into controllers. 

Better workflows, stronger margin and timelines

 

Design decisions always have a business impact, whether designers are asked to consider it or not. Choices around materials, construction, and design details influence timelines, sample rounds, and downstream adjustments.

Footwear

 

 

Footwear development is component-led and detail-heavy. The product is built from many parts, and progress depends on precision across versions and supplier updates. 


A fashion PLM system matters in footwear because it keeps the product record stable as the style evolves, so teams can trust what’s approved and what’s current. It also supports cleaner collaboration with specialised suppliers, where clarity and log control are essential to avoid delays.

Accessories & Lifestyle

 

 

Accessories and lifestyle products tend to move fast, with frequent refreshes and broad assortments. Changes can be small on paper but big in cost and lead time.


A modern fashion PLM setup matters here because it keeps product detail controlled as the assortment grows, so teams don’t lose time to misalignment across versions. It also supports consistency across a wide range of products without forcing teams into rigid ways of working. 


In accessories, the risk is rarely a single big mistake. It’s a steady build-up of small errors that create delays and rework. Delogue helps prevent that drift.

Kidswear

 

 

Kidswear demands extra care. Fit, comfort, and safety expectations raise the bar on detail, and products often require closer attention to materials, labelling, and documentation. At the same time, the category still runs on seasonal speed, and collections evolve quickly.


A fashion PLM approach is important here because it keeps the product record clear as styles move through development. It supports consistency when teams are managing many styles and variations under time pressure. 


Kidswear is a category where “nearly right” is not good enough, and where last-minute fixes are especially costly. A modern fashion PLM software foundation helps teams stay accurate.
