The Knowledge Hub

How and where you start your traceability journey will determine the success of your implementation. Working with your traceability solution provider, analyze the overall objectives to create a plan for your program launch.

The traceability solution you choose will depend on your organizational readiness and maturity. Do you have the in-house personnel needed to work with a traceability solution provider? Where is your data held and how accessible is it? Do you have contact with your suppliers?

When contemplating a new traceability initiative, it's essential to define your needs as a business. These are unique to each business and will change depending on the size and complexity of your supply chains, the products you make and the regions you operate in. In the Traceability Roadmap, released in June, TrusTrace partner Tapestry provided case studies to highlight the behind-the-scenes work required to implement a traceability programme within an enterprise-scale business.

There are a number of driving factors behind the fashion industry's adoption of traceability solutions. Each business comes with its own needs, complexities and challenges that will shape the type of solutions it needs. However, there are several universal considerations that brands of all sizes are recognising and responding to.

TrusTrace releases its second industry playbook: ‘The Traceability Roadmap’, featuring learnings from Tapestry, ASICS, Kharon & more to facilitate global supply chain transformation.
