IDM Trade & Trace B.V. designs and implements end-to-end digital traceability systems that give brands, mills, and traders a real-time view of their cotton and textile supply chains—from farm to finished garment.

Our Turnkey Approach

• • Needs Assessment & System Architecture: We begin with a detailed review of your existing ERP/MRP tools, production flow, and certification goals to map every transaction point that needs tracking.

  
  

  • Platform Deployment: Using our proprietary IDM Trace platform, we create a secure, cloud-based environment that captures lot numbers, processing steps, and transaction data at each stage—ginning, spinning, knitting, dyeing, and garmenting.

  
  

  • Integration & Data Capture: We integrate with existing databases (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, custom PHP systems) and set up mobile or tablet-based data entry for on-site operators.

  
  

  • Digital Product Passport (DPP) Readiness: Each product or batch receives a unique QR code or NFC tag, allowing end users and regulators to access verified environmental and social data—fully aligned with upcoming EU Digital Product Passport regulations.

  
  

  • Verification & Training: We run pilot tests, train staff, and establish internal audit procedures to ensure accurate, tamper-proof records.

Example in Action
A European home-textile brand used IDM Trace to connect its Turkish ginners and Bangladeshi mills, enabling real-time monitoring of organic and Better Cotton inputs. By scanning a single QR code, a Paris retailer can now view field-level sourcing data, spinning mill certificates, and greenhouse-gas metrics for each SKU.

With IDM’s Traceability System Setup, companies achieve full chain-of-custody transparency, simplify certification audits (GOTS, TE, BCI), and meet the fast-approaching demands of regulators and conscious consumers alike.
