PLM for Sustainability & Compliance Teams
Sustainable fashion: A real data platform for sustainability teams
Sustainable fashion needs proof. And proof depends on product data you can trust.
Delogue keeps sustainability work tied to the same live product record the business already uses in development, so documentation is captured as decisions are made and supplier input is visible in context.
That gives sustainability teams a solid basis for credible claims and simpler reporting.

Sustainability work without product data is just guesswork
Sustainability professionals in the fashion industry are under constant pressure to document and explain decisions they didn’t always influence.
They’re still expected to answer detailed questions about materials, suppliers and certifications, often without a dependable product record to lean on.
Each season, traceability starts again, and when sustainable fashion isn’t anchored in real product development data, teams end up chasing answers with a higher risk of reporting errors and unintentional greenwashing.
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.

What sustainable fashion looks like with Delogue
With Delogue, sustainable fashion becomes part of daily workflows rather than an after-the-fact validation step.
Sustainability teams work from the same product data as design, buying, and sourcing, with structured access to styles and collections, materials and components, supplier information, and certifications all connected directly to the product.
Detailed product specifications
Simplified approval flows
Documentation in one place
Connecting sustainable fashion targets to supply chain sustainability
High-level sustainability targets only create impact when they are translated into real decisions across the supply chain. Delogue helps connect sustainable fashion goals to concrete supply chain sustainability by linking strategy directly to product and sourcing data.
Sustainability teams can see how materials and fibers are used in specific styles, how suppliers are connected to components and finished products, and how certifications and audits apply in practice rather than in theory.
Risk indicators can be viewed alongside sourcing decisions, making potential issues visible earlier. This connection makes sustainability operational instead of abstract. Teams gain a clear understanding of how targets play out across collections and suppliers, replacing assumptions and aggregated estimates with accurate, product-level insight.
The sustainability data you need, without manual traceability chases
Traceability work is often repeated from scratch. Each new request triggers another round of emails, spreadsheets, and file searches, pulling sustainability teams away from actual improvement work. Delogue replaces this fragmented approach with one structured system where sustainable fashion data is centralised and connected to real products.
Sustainability teams can quickly see which materials and fibers are used in specific styles, which suppliers are linked to which products, and which certifications apply in each case. Documentation status is visible at a glance, including what is valid, missing, or expired.
Because data is linked directly to products and components, traceability becomes part of everyday workflows rather than a special project, supporting stronger supply chain sustainability with far less manual effort.

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.
Design teams can see which materials and components are being used, understand the current status of styles and samples, and follow feedback from product development, sourcing and suppliers in one place.
The data is structured and connected so designers no longer need to chase answers. They see what matters, when it matters, and can design with greater clarity and confidence.
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.
When workflows are unclear, even small design changes can ripple through product development and turn into expensive late-stage fixes. Delogue PLM for fashion helps connect creative work to real operational and commercial outcomes through:
- earlier alignment reduces late-stage changes and last-minute corrections
- clear specifications improve sample accuracy and reduce resampling
- better collaboration shortens development cycles and reduces rework
Designers don’t need to manage margins directly, but stronger design workflows help protect them naturally as part of a more controlled development process.
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.
How it feels to design in Delogue instead of static tools
Designing in Delogue feels noticeably different: less noise, fewer interruptions, and more room for creative flow. Designers work with greater calm because clarity replaces confusion around versions, feedback, and decisions.
With Delogue PLM for fashion, design work stays creative while becoming easier to carry through the entire organisation.

What better sustainability workflows mean for risk and reporting
Weak data foundations increase risk. When sustainability documentation is incomplete, outdated, or disconnected from the products it relates to, reporting becomes fragile and claims are harder to substantiate. Delogue supports sustainable fashion workflows that bring structure and consistency to how sustainability data is managed across product development.
Documentation stays linked to the right styles, materials, and suppliers, making it easier to verify information and demonstrate progress over time. Reporting becomes less about chasing inputs and more about working with reliable, auditable data.
Clearer workflows also help teams track progress against sustainability goals with greater confidence. This shift allows sustainability teams to move beyond reactive reporting and play a stronger role in risk management, credibility, and long-term accountability.
How it feels to drive sustainable fashion in Delogue instead of in slides
For many sustainability teams, daily work happens in presentations and spreadsheets, disconnected from where product decisions are actually made. Delogue changes that dynamic by bringing sustainable fashion into the same workflows used by design, buying, and sourcing.
Sustainability teams work with real product and supplier data instead of static summaries, spending less time collecting inputs and more time contributing insight.
Collaboration with other teams becomes more natural because everyone works from the same information. Rather than explaining sustainability after decisions are already set, teams are involved while choices are still open.
This shift reduces reactive firefighting and allows sustainability professionals to focus on driving measurable improvements where they matter most.
