What does tex.tracer offer to improve supply chain transparency?
tex.tracer is a traceability platform that helps brands map their supply chains from raw material to product. We centralize data, verify it at the source, track ESG performance, and support transparent reporting—including Digital Product Passports.

The platform combines traceability, ESG insights, and compliance tools in one place. Plus, we offer fast onboarding, global support, and a mobile-first experience for your suppliers.
