Delogue’s collaborative PLM: Where changes, approvals and costs stay connected
From PLM to ROI: Turn product development into margin control
Profit rarely disappears in one big mistake. It erodes quietly while the product is still in motion - when decisions come late, costs drift, and no one is fully sure what’s been approved.
Delogue is a product development platform (PLM) that keeps product data, decisions and supplier collaboration in one connected workflow - making cost management part of day-to-day development.
That’s how PLM turns into ROI: teams can manage margin as they work, while the product is still moving.
The real margin challenge: decisions are made on shaky inputs
Most brands have margin targets. The challenge is keeping those targets intact while the product is still moving. When costs sit in spreadsheets and changes sit in email threads, teams end up making commercial decisions on partial information.
It’s not a lack of diligence. It’s a lack of connection between product updates and financial impact.
If the data isn’t current, the margin isn’t real.
This is how “small” issues become expensive: a trim change that never hits costing, a fabric update that isn’t reflected in the BOM, or a late approval that triggers another round. The margin doesn’t disappear later - it leaks here.
The risk of poor visibility: you lose the time to react
Product development is a chain of decisions shared across teams and suppliers. When communication and visibility aren’t clear, issues don’t surface early. They surface late. One team updates a cost assumption, another changes the spec, and the supplier moves forward without the full picture. One issue is cost drift. Another is that misalignment slows the response when you need speed most.
That’s when small errors turn into delays, and delays turn into expensive fixes. Approvals get squeezed, sample rounds stretch, and decisions land under pressure because the calendar has no slack left.
Without one connected workflow, teams spend time chasing clarity across channels instead of resolving issues early - and both margin and go-to-market speed pay the price.
Delogue: Cost management built into your product development process
Margin leaks in invisible places long before production, right inside the product development process. At that early stage, the entire chain depends on two things: having the right numbers, and staying aligned with each other to make the right decisions. That’s why this is exactly where the solution is found: in the early stages of product development.
Delogue helps remove those hidden cost drivers by keeping commercial decisions tied to the live product record and the workflow around it.
Product data and collaboration in one connected workflow
Tighter margins start with fewer mistakes. Delogue brings specs and product build into one shared workflow, so teams aren’t working from half-updated files or yesterday’s attachments.

Tech packs
-
BOMs
-
Measurements
-
Care labels
-
Colour and component information
-
Day-to-day comments that usually get lost in email.
That’s also where material cost analysis becomes easier, because material choices stay tied to the style and the BOM.
With built-in communication and a clear product record, handovers hold up and changes don’t turn into expensive resets.
Designers can also connect Delogue with Illustrator via the Adobe plugin, which helps keep creative work connected to the product record rather than drifting into parallel versions - a quiet but important win for cost management.

The PLM to ROI shift starts with live collection visibility
Delogue makes it easier to generate collection and category overviews from live data, so teams can review progress and cost signals without rebuilding status manually.
Brands can analyse category movement and supplier performance, then reuse templates to keep planning consistent season to season. Comments and shared review points sit on the overview itself, so alignment happens in context.
This is where PLM turns into ROI: less time spent reconciling information, fewer late surprises, and more confidence that the collection is tracking to target.
Make costing decision-ready as the product changes
Costing works best when it moves with development. Delogue helps teams simulate scenarios while styles evolve, so you can model the impact of MOQ shifts, supplier options and pricing assumptions before decisions are locked.
It also supports clearer material cost analysis, because material choices can be evaluated in context rather than as isolated quotes. Supplier negotiation becomes cleaner when the commercial discussion is anchored to the product record, with a central log of changes, comments and decisions.
Bringing suppliers into the same workflow reduces misalignment, which helps protect target prices and keeps cost drift from quietly eating margin.
Control sampling and approvals so timelines don’t slip
Sampling is where budgets get eaten quietly: extra rounds, late fixes, and last-minute freight decisions because time ran out. Delogue helps teams run a tighter sample process by keeping product and component work, tasks, approvals and status in one traceable workflow.
Teams can see what’s blocked, what’s approved, and what changed - without chasing context across channels. With logged changes and structured approvals, it becomes easier to spot issues early and resolve them before they escalate into delays.
Keep certificates and standards under control
Compliance issues rarely show up early. They surface when you’re close to sign-off, when a certificate can’t be found, a standard isn’t met, or a document has expired. That’s when teams lose time, scramble for answers, and end up delaying decisions.
You can manage product and component certificates, standards and certification bodies in one place, with expiry warnings so nothing silently lapses.
When needed, Delogue supports generating declarations of conformity and managing transaction/scope certificates - reducing last-minute risk and keeping the workflow moving.
