TrusTrace, a market-leading platform for supply chain traceability and compliance in the fashion and textile industry, is proud to announce its participation in Textile Exchange’s test pilot project, to evaluate a multiparty Trackit™ system.
The Textile Supply Chains is set to run throughout 2025, marking a significant step forward in advancing traceability and transparency within the textile and apparel supply chain. The project aims to test the performance of an interoperable traceability framework that functions across diverse technology platforms.
It is designed to minimize the burden on supply chain operators while maintaining a strong and credible standards system to adapt to an evolving legislative landscape.
Contributing to the Trackit™ pilot project
The TrusTrace platform is built to improve interoperability and works with multiple enterprise systems and data formats. In 2024 the platform gathered primary data on more than 12.9 million global transactions for more than 1.2 billion units, from more than 60,000 suppliers.
TrusTrace’s ability to aggregate, validate, and standardize supply chain data across various ecosystems ensures that brands have access to up-to-date, high-quality data—a critical enabler for making informed decisions to manage supply chain and brand risk, ensure compliance, and drive more sustainable practices.
The test pilot aligns with TrusTrace’s vision of empowering brands to know, prove and improve the impact of their supply chain.
Unlocking the Benefits of Digitized Supply Chains
The Trackit™ test pilot aims to not only analyze interoperability of a multiparty system; but also to provide a foundation for supply chain innovation by enabling:
- Efficient data sharing: Streamlining collaboration across diverse stakeholders, from suppliers to brands.
- Informed decision-making: Providing brands with real-time visibility into their supply chains to address environmental and social risks effectively.
- Credible sustainability reporting: Ensuring brands can meet emerging legislative and regulatory requirements with robust and verified data.
“Interoperability is key to a future where supply chains are traceable, circular and fair. The Trackit™ test pilot brings the industry closer to a shared ecosystem where technology providers complement rather than compete, ensuring better outcomes for brands, suppliers, and the planet. TrusTrace is honored to contribute to this exciting project, and contribute with our vast experience in interoperability at scale,” said Shameek Ghosh, CEO and Co-founder of TrusTrace.
A Step Toward Systemic Change
The Trackit™ test pilot project is an integral step toward a more collaborative system for traceability. By reducing redundancies and aligning technology systems, this initiative aims to empower brands and supply chain partners to meet ambitious sustainability goals and manage textile supply chains risk and compliance.
