DeSL is a market leader in digital transformation and sustainability solutions including integrated end-to-end PLM software for the fashion, apparel, textile, footwear, and retail sectors.

This implementation reflects Patagonia’s commitment to the constant development of its products and industry leading efforts towards protecting the environment.
“With DeSL’s CLM solution, we’ve seen significant improvements in our color management workflow,” says Matt Swartz, Sr. Color & Surface Design Manager at Patagonia. “The software enables us to automate portions of our color evaluation process for lab dips, track production yardage using spectral data, and manage both spectro readable and non-spectro readable submits. In addition, DeSL’s web portal functions as a centralized platform to streamline collaboration with two-way communication and documentation database between us and our suppliers.”
