Key Takeaways
- Most brands and suppliers are just beginning their traceability journey.
- With new regulations emerging, it’s increasingly difficult to determine where to start and which solutions provide the best value.
- TESTEX and Haelixa support customers on this path by offering OEKO-TEX® certifications and physical traceability solutions aligned with DPP, CSRD, and other regulatory requirements.
How to get started:
- Define the scope of your traceability efforts: Decide which products, materials, or supply chain tiers you want to trace.
- Collect and assess existing data: Gather what you already know from suppliers, certifications, or internal systems.
- Identify potential risks in your supply chain: Look for areas with low visibility, high compliance risk, or where valuable materials are involved.
- Prioritize action on the highest-risk areas: Focus first on the parts of your supply chain that pose the greatest risk.
