The company has always been on the cutting edge of innovation and in 2001 expanded into new factory facility in China with a key focus on socially responsible business practices and dedication to fair trade. In 2012, elope embarked on a PLM project to help support the continued growth of the company and selected DeSL following a comprehensive vendor evaluation process. Carolye Asfahl, COO, elope commented, "elope is already seeing major improvements from our DeSL implementation.

A positive outcome I did not expect was how quickly our overseas teams are adopting the system."

There were many opportunities to miscommunicate and confuse the situation on samples.
