These 5 SCM softwares can ease the transition into a more transparent supply chain

Supply chain transparency is becoming the new standard in the fashion industry – and that is a fact. See how other brands are leading the change.

With the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) implemented by the EU, supply chain traceability represents one of the stepping stones to reaching circularity through overcoming important challenges:

• Locate inefficiencies and avoid disruptions in the supply chain
• Identify the origin of products and materials
• Prove product claims such as “recycled”, “organic”, “vegan”
• Ensure ethical labor is a standard throughout the supply chain

In the next couple of years, brands will have to adapt to these new regulations and increase their supply chain traceability in order to meet the EU’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, while also providing transparency and accurate information to consumers. This will require an investment in technology and processes such as Supply Chain Management (SCM) software.
