Sweden’s Stockholm, February 6, 2025 The fashion and textile industry’s premier platform for supply chain traceability and compliance, TrusTrace, is pleased to announce that it has joined Textile Exchange’s test pilot project to assess a multiparty TrackitTM system.
A major step towards improving traceability and transparency in the textile and clothing supply chain, the trial is scheduled to operate until 2025. The project’s goal is to evaluate how well an interoperable traceability framework works on various technological platforms. It is intended to lessen the load on supply chain managers while preserving a robust and reliable standards framework that can be adjusted to a changing legal environment.
Participating in the trial study for TrackitTM
The TrusTrace platform supports a variety of corporate systems and data formats and was developed to increase interoperability. The platform collected primary data from over 60,000 vendors on over 12.9 million international transactions for over 1.2 billion units in 2024.
The capacity of TrusTrace to compile, verify, and standardise supply chain data from multiple ecosystems guarantees that brands have access to current, high-quality data, which is essential for making well-informed decisions to control supply chain and brand risk, maintain compliance, and promote more environmentally friendly practices. The test pilot supports TrusTrace’s mission to enable brands to understand, validate, and enhance the effect of their supply chain.
Unlocking the Advantages of Supply Chain Digitisation
In addition to evaluating a multiparty system’s interoperability, the TrackitTM test pilot seeks to provide the groundwork for supply chain innovation by facilitating:
Effective data sharing: Simplifying cooperation between many stakeholders, including brands and suppliers.
Making informed decisions: Giving companies up-to-date insight into their supply chains so they can successfully manage social and environmental concerns.
Credible sustainability reporting: Making sure that companies have solid, validated data to satisfy new legal and regulatory obligations.
“A future with traceable, circular, and equitable supply chains depends on interoperability. Better results for brands, suppliers, and the environment are guaranteed by the TrackitTM test pilot, which moves the sector closer to a shared ecosystem where technology providers enhance rather than compete. The CEO and co-founder of TrusTrace, Shameek Ghosh, stated, “TrusTrace is honoured to contribute with our vast experience in interoperability at scale to this exciting project.”
A Move in the Direction of Systemic Change
An essential first step towards a more cooperative traceability system is the TrackitTM test pilot project. This program intends to enable brands and supply chain partners to accomplish challenging sustainability targets and manage supply chain risk and compliance by cutting down on redundancy and coordinating technological systems.
