PLM for Finance Teams

 

BOM costing and beyond: bring finance into the product decisions that move margin

 

 

Finance teams see product development in the numbers. And Margin is shaped during development.

 

When data is scattered, BOM costing loses reliability, visibility arrives too late, and finance ends up managing surprises. 


Delogue brings structure to product and cost data by connecting BOMs, supplier inputs, and changes in one shared workflow. This lets finance engage earlier and influence margin in time.

  • Finance work is hard to do in scattered systems

Finance teams are often expected to manage numbers that are already outdated.

 

While products evolve daily, finance teams frequently work from copies, exports, and snapshots taken at a specific moment in time.

 

A new trim added to a style or an updated supplier price can shift the entire BOM costing without the finance team noticing until much later. 

 

Manual updates increase the risk of errors, and margin visibility depends on how quickly information is shared.

 

Without a shared system, finance is forced to reconcile changes after decisions are made. This is where structured product costing software becomes critical.

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.

What Delogue changes daily as a finance partner

Before Delogue, finance teams spent much of their time collecting cost inputs, reconciling BOM versions, and maintaining spreadsheets. Every change in materials, quantities, or supplier pricing requires manual follow-up, making BOM costing difficult to control. 

 

With Delogue, finance works from one shared platform where product data and costs move together, turning cost management into a continuous process rather than a clean-up exercise.

Decisions from cost transparency

Trace cost changes back to specific product choices and sourcing decisions, making it clear where costs increase or decrease.

One source of financial truth

Support the business with consistent, reliable numbers by working from one shared source instead of reconciling multiple versions.

Proactive product costing

As a product costing software, Delogue helps finance stay ahead of change rather than reacting to it.

How finance stays in sync with product development and sourcing 

 

 

In fast-moving product development, cost drivers change continuously as designs evolve and sourcing decisions are refined. Delogue provides a shared context where finance can stay connected.


Instead of relying on handovers or periodic updates, finance teams follow product and sourcing activity as it happens and engage directly in the same workflow - with full visibility into when and why changes occur. 


This makes BOM costing a continuous, transparent process. Cost management becomes more predictable, and finance gains a clearer understanding of how everyday decisions influence overall cost and margin across the season.

The cost management data finance can finally trust - without manual hunting

 

 

Finance teams need reliable data to manage margin across collections and seasons. 


Delogue embeds BOM costing directly into the product workflow, so cost build-up evolves alongside decision-making. Change history is preserved and calculations remain consistent over time. 


Because cost management data lives as part of daily product work, finance can focus on analysis, forecasting, and steering the business with numbers they can trust.

What this means for your impact in a finance team

 

When finance gains earlier visibility into product costs, the role shifts from reporting to real influence. 


With BOM costing embedded in product development, finance teams can see margin movements, including material costs, supplier prices, and sample costs.


Strong cost management at this stage helps protect margin where it is actually created: during product development.

Working from the same product costing software

 

When finance works from a shared product costing software daily work becomes calmer and more predictable. 


There are fewer requests asking for the latest BOM, fewer urgent follow-ups before deadlines, and less time spent explaining why numbers have changed since the last update.

 

Because BOM costing is visible in real time, finance teams can see status as products move.
