Blockchain Traceability Solution for Textile and Clothing
Our Solutions | Consumer Markets | Digital Transformation
Business Scenario
As living standards improve, consumers demand transparency on prices, places of origin, raw materials, environmental practices, and ethical working conditions. Problems such as information asymmetry lead to a lack of trust between upstream and downstream enterprises in the cloth and textile industry. PwC's blockchain traceability solution for the cloth and textile industry enhances supply chain transparency and solidifies consumer trust.
Business Challenges
Challenges Tracing Products and Processes
Limited visibility on environmental friendliness each detail in the production process makes it hard to spot errors before they cause an issue such as the use of harmful dyes.
Difficulties Protecting Intellectual Property
Compared with other sectors, fashion designs are less protected under intellectual property law because the origins of the IP are difficult to prove and enforce.
Complications in Integrating and Unifying Systems
Material information of clothing origin, logistics, quality inspection, and sales are stored in independent systems which raises risks of modified data.
