TextileGenesis

Core Features

TextileGenesis operates on a blockchain-inspired technology designed to create a tamper-proof digital record for materials. It replaces manual, and paper-based tracking systems with a fully digitized, article-level traceability system that engages all five to six tiers of the supplier ecosystem. This ensures that data on material origin and movement is both verifiable and auditable. Some of its main features are:

• Fiber-to-Retail Tracing: The platform uses its proprietary digital tokens, Fibercoins™, to create a digital twin that mirrors the physical flow of goods, enabling traceability from the sustainable fiber-origin all the way to the finished garment on the retail shelf.

• Supply Chain Mapping: This feature allows brands to use their Tier 1 suppliers as a single source of truth. By capturing self-declared data from Tier 1 suppliers, brands can rapidly gain visibility into the key players across all other tiers of their supply chain.

• Supply Chain Discovery: For conventional materials, the platform offers a "product-backwards" tracing approach. Here, Tier 1 suppliers initiate requests to their Tier 2 suppliers to share and validate key data, creating a backward tracing mechanism to map the chain of custody.

• Compliance & Risk Management: An AI-powered module automatically detects and flags potential supply chain risks. This helps brands avoid key compliance pitfalls by receiving notifications about issues related to material origins or supplier practices.

• Regulatory Framework Compliance: The platform is specifically designed to help brands fulfill the requirements of over 30 evolving regulations, such as the Digital Product Passport and the Green Claims Directive, with greater ease and confidence.

• Ecosystem Integration: TextileGenesis is engineered to deliver verified traceability data to LCA tools and DPP systems, ensuring it can collaborate with a brand's broader sustainability and compliance infrastructure.
