Client Profile
A leading European organization in the fashion and branding industry, managing complex supply chains across multiple continents with a focus on sustainability and compliance.
The Challenge
The client faced significant obstacles in maintaining transparency and efficiency across their global supply chain:
- Limited Product Visibility: Manual vendor coordination and scattered telemetry data made it difficult to track products across manufacturing, logistics, and retail stages.
- Delayed Product Recalls: Inefficient tracking systems resulted in prolonged recall times, increasing risk and potential compliance penalties.
- Sustainability Reporting Gaps: Lack of centralized data prevented accurate and timely sustainability reporting, critical for regulatory compliance.
- Vendor Onboarding Complexity: Time-consuming manual processes for onboarding new vendors slowed down supply chain expansion.
Our Solution
