What Makes TraceBale Unique?

For over a decade, we have been working with brands and retailers to help them address the challenges of complex, remote supply and to map their supply chains effectively at each stage, from farm to finished product, ensuring complete transparency and traceability. TraceBale is the culmination of extensive work in the sector to understand the challenges in the complex textile supply chain and achieve digital traceability that enables retailers to trace a garment back to its origin.

Bottom-Up Approach

TraceBale is based on a ‘bottom-up’ approach of data gathering and provides comprehensive visibility into the entire cotton journey, from farm group to finished product, which includes tracking the often challenging last leg of the journey.

Trace the Origin

By giving visibility to processors involved at each stage, TraceBale empowers brands to trace the origin of their products. Retailers can now track and verify the source of the raw material and the complete journey of the product in the complex supply chain, enhancing authenticity, transparency and accountability.

Unique Hybrid Traceability Model - Digital and Physical

An integrated digital and physical traceability platform is an optimum traceability solution for a textile supply chain. TraceBale enables brands to trace their product digitally through data and physically through DNA markers across the complete supply chain. Brands can tackle challenges such as providing evidence of circularity and meeting stringent regulations to prove sustainable claims and their other supply chain traceability requirements through TraceBale.

Supply Chain Data Analytics

By giving visibility to processors involved at each stage, TraceBale provides real-time data analytics and visualisation support to brands in making insight-driven, timely business decisions and a more efficient supply chain.

We have been using TraceBale services to manage our organic cotton supply chain for two years from farm to the ginner level. It is a very user-friendly platform which gives us simplified access to all our data. As the organic cotton supply chain is quite complex, managing data such as organic integrity, transaction certificates, and processing reports through one platform has helped streamline our processes.
