Holzweiler, a prominent Scandinavian fashion brand, has recently integrated Delogue PLM into their operations to enhance their product development processes. This decision came in conjunction with their ongoing use of TRIMIT's ERP solution based on Business Central (BC).
Holzweiler, known for its high-end contemporary fashion and lifestyle-driven products, recognised the need to streamline operations and enhance supplier relations. Driven by an ambitious strategy for responsible business practices, Holzweiler aims to set new industry standards in sustainability and efficiency. They take a holistic approach, embedding sustainability in every aspect of their business—from product development and supply chain to marketing, sales, and product lifecycle management. Managing these complex processes manually had become increasingly challenging, prompting their decision to implement Delogue PLM.
Nini Andrea Løvvik, Holzweiler’s Process Manager, explains the transition: "We needed a solution that could integrate seamlessly with our existing ERP solution and support our growing team. Delogue was the perfect fit due to its specialisation in the fashion industry and its supplier collaboration capabilities."
Holzweiler’s Commitment to Sustainability
Holzweiler has always been dedicated to sustainability, focusing on long-lasting relationships with suppliers and ensuring that their materials meet high standards. This commitment influenced their choice of Delogue, which supports their sustainability goals by providing clear communication and efficient management of their product lifecycle.
Seamless Integration with TRIMIT for Enhanced Workflows
The integration of Delogue with TRIMIT was a strategic move that streamlined Holzweiler’s workflows. "Having our product development data integrated directly with our ERP system has improved data quality and reduced errors," says Løvvik. This integration ensures that any update in Delogue is automatically reflected in TRIMIT, saving considerable time on manual updates and maintaining consistency across systems.
Empowering Collaboration and Efficiency
Since implementing Delogue, Holzweiler has noticed significant improvements in communication with suppliers and internal efficiency. "The clear communication on deadlines and specifications has already had a fast impact on our workflow," Løvvik notes. By centralising all product information, the team can access data more quickly, collaborate more effectively, and significantly reduce the time spent on error correction.

“We conducted a workshop and found that we were spending around 101 hours per collection just correcting errors in a previous collection. With Delogue, this workload has been drastically reduced, freeing up our team to focus on creative and strategic tasks,”

Increased Data Quality
The integration has also enhanced data quality. "We already see an increase in data clarity and less confusion," says Løvvik. By ensuring that all product information is up-to-date and accurate, Delogue helps maintain high data quality, which is crucial for decision-making and operational efficiency.
The Onboarding Experience
Holzweiler's onboarding experience with Delogue PLM was smooth and supportive. "The support we received throughout the onboarding process was excellent. Despite our complex needs and multiple timelines, Delogue helped us prioritize and implement the system effectively," Løvvik recalls. The onboarding process, although extensive, did not feel overly burdensome thanks to the structured support provided by Delogue.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Holzweiler anticipates further benefits from the integration of Delogue with their ERP solution from TRIMIT. "We expect to see even greater efficiency and data quality as we continue to use Delogue. The system has already shown its value, and we believe it will play a crucial role in our future growth and sustainability efforts," Løvvik concludes.
By adopting Delogue, Holzweiler has positioned itself for continued success in the competitive fashion industry. The integration with TRIMIT ensures a streamlined workflow, enabling the team to focus on creating high-quality, sustainable products. Holzweiler's experience demonstrates the significant benefits of a modern PLM solution in enhancing product development and supplier collaboration.
