Overview

Retraced provides a platform for fashion and textile companies to digitize and trace supply chains, manage compliance data, and increase transparency from raw materials to finished products. The platform focuses on supplier data collection so all stakeholders can connect and collaborate. More than 150 brands — including Desigual, Victoria Secret, Pangaia, Calzedonia, Tom Tailor, Marc O Polo and Finisterre — use Retraced, which connects 15,000+ suppliers on its platform. Retraced is building capabilities that use AI and process automations to make supply chain sustainability more efficient and to reduce the financial burden of compliance management. The company is developing a European Digital Product Passport (DPP) to improve consumer engagement. Retraced positions its solutions to help brands comply with evolving EU and global regulations and to support brands in meeting sustainability objectives. Retraced offers a platform that collects, evaluates, and manages supply‑chain compliance data, connecting brands, textile manufacturers, and suppliers to make supply chains transparent and traceable. The platform automates certificate checks, risk assessments, and audits and allows customers to integrate complete product supply‑chain journeys into online stores for consumer‑facing transparency. Retraced positions its solution to help brands comply with regulatory requirements such as the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and with corporate sustainability obligations. The company operates in America, Asia, and Europe and counts customers including Desigual, Marc O’Polo, Decor Global, JOOP and more than 80 international manufacturers. Retraced will use new capital to further develop and automate the platform and to expand the company, targeting around 30,000 suppliers on its platform by the end of 2023. The founding team previously ran a shoe brand and includes co‑founders Lukas Puender (CEO) and Philipp Mayer (CPO).
