United Legwear & Apparel hopes the AI-driven traceability offerings from TradeBeyond will help with navigating intricate compliance demands while maintaining transparency throughout the journey from raw materials to final product delivery.
The AI technology embedded in TradeBeyond’s solutions offers real-time authentication of documents and tracking of the chain of custody, thereby vastly streamlining adherence to stringent legislations such as the US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and various ESG mandates prevalent in Europe and North America.
The decision by United Legwear & Apparel to employ TradeBeyond’s CBX platform is said to be driven by its need to have an all-encompassing solution that aligns with its sustainability objectives and addresses the escalating complexity associated with proliferating regulations.
This platform automates the validation of critical compliance documentation, enhancing collaboration with suppliers dispersed throughout Asia and other regions, while simultaneously mitigating risk.
