Introduction
The Supplier Module is built to bring clarity to one of the most complex parts of product development: supplier collaboration. Instead of managing mapping, documentation, and certificates across emails and spreadsheets, everything is structured inside Delogue.
Suppliers and brands work from the same data foundation, with full visibility of facilities, processes, and documentation connected directly to the product. Less chasing. Fewer misunderstandings. Stronger control where it matters most.

Before you start
Watch this short introduction video:
1) The industry reality
Brands are under pressure. Margins are tighter. Regulations are expanding, and transparency is no longer optional. Yet supplier information still lives across emails, spreadsheets, and shared folders. ESG teams chase certificates. Developers chase confirmations. Sourcing chases updates. Everyone is working hard, but no one has the full picture. And when visibility is fragmented, risk increases. Late changes happen. Documentation goes missing. Costs creep in quietly. At a time when proof matters more than promises, scattered supplier management simply doesn’t hold up.
2) Why we built it
We built the Supplier Module because supplier collaboration is too important to sit outside product development. Mapping, documentation, subsuppliers, and certificates belong in the same workflow as styles, BOMs, and approvals. When suppliers upload and manage information directly in Delogue, transparency becomes part of the process, not an afterthought. This isn’t about adding more administration. It’s about removing chaos. If product development drives margin, supplier transparency must live in the same system. That’s how you protect both compliance and cost.
3) What this enables
With structured supplier visibility connected directly to the product, ESG teams gain clarity without chasing documents. Development and sourcing teams align earlier, with fewer misunderstandings and less back-and-forth. Information is traceable, approvals are clearer, and decisions happen sooner. The result is fewer late changes, less rework, and reduced risk exposure. Because when supplier collaboration is transparent and shared, teams move faster, and margins stay protected.
What is the supplier Module?
The Supplier module will be a part of the new Delogue 2.0 platform and not in the Legacy platform. The Supplier Module consists of three parts that will be released in steps:
1. Supplier Management - step 1
Supplier management in Delogue will be a part of the supplier module. Brands will have a full view of their suppliers and subsuppliers. The suppliers will able to manage their basic information, subsuppliers and give brands access to the information.
First step will be launching in the beginning of March 2026. This includes suppliers having 1 login, suppliers creating their subsupplier library. In this transition the brand and suppliers needs to work closely together to ensure the link between Delogue 2.0 Supplier module and the original Delogue platform.
2. Supply Chain mapping - step 2
The supply chain mapping gives brands and suppliers the possibility to map on style and/or item level.
Brands create mapping requests linked to styles and/or items. Suppliers complete them in their portal, and brands review and approve inside Delogue.
3. Certification Management - step 3
The certification management is a part of the supplier management.
This step introduces certification management. Supplier can upload all related certifications to their profile and their subsuppliers that they want to share and brands have requested. This includes certification type and valid to and from dates. All documentation (scopes, transaction certificates etc.) can be added to the mapping giving brands a full view of the supply chain mapping and the related documentation.
The documents will be visible in the mapping, giving brands the ability to review in the mapping approval process.

License structure
The supplier module will have a trial period during the first steps. This gives your team the possibility to try out the new features. The trials period ends 4 months after step 3 is launched, giving you enough time to try the module.
The supplier module will have license fee of 199/per user/month. It will not be possible to add this to the Essential plan - only to the Professional Plan. A brand can choose how many users they need, as this is not necessarily everyone in a company.
When a brand has the Premium Plan the Supplier Module is included in the plan.
