Collaborations within fashion industry for traceability solutions have been aggressively forming up lately in response to the global demand for more responsible textile production.
One of the recent collaborations that has come into existence is between Germany’s Retraced, a fashion and textile sustainability and compliance management platform, and Décor Global, a full-service apparel design, manufacturing and merchandising company that works with leading brands and retailers.
The partnership aims at building a more transparent supply chain for fashion brands and retailers. Not just this, this will also enable the industry to obtain all relevant documents needed to prove the origin of the textile.
According to Retraced, the new Cascade Traceability solution is fully accessible worldwide and can be used to assess the origin of all materials and textiles involved in Decor’s textile manufacturing.
The new tool allows users to track garment production and movement, as well as base materials (cotton fibres, etc.) based on documentation that establishes validated CoC reports such as purchase orders and invoices.
With Décor’s extensive network of strategic supply chain partners and the retraced compliance management platform community of over 2,000 brands and suppliers, the two companies are said to be working together to create scalable and digital solutions that meet current business needs.
Peter Marcat, Co-founder and CTO of Retraced, commented, “Currently, regulators and Governments have made tracking and risk monitoring an industry requirement, which accelerates the need for business-ready, usable and scalable, and our platform is ready to go. The partnership with Décor now skips all unnecessary and impractical bells and whistles, addressing both industry-wide transparency issues and specific business compliance needs directly, enterprise-grade. It’s the perfect starting point for traceability solutions.”
The announcement of the Retraced’s partnership with Décor has been made after a successful six-month pilot period, which began in March 2021.
