Retraced

Are we proud our CTO, CISO & Co-Founder Peter Merkert made it into Juan Loaiza's Keynote at Oracle AI World (minute 13:17 😁 )? You bet! You know what makes us even more proud? That the Retraced platform is being built and expanded with the latest and safest AI technology available. We use the Oracle AI Database to bring together converged data, JSON duality view, Oracle MCP, and autoscaling in one system.

Wow Textile Exchange, what a conference! Thank you for a week full of inspiration and sharing knowledge as well as encouragement. It is amazing to see that no matter how volatile legislation seems to be, so many brands, suppliers and organizations are willing to work responsibly 💚 Thank you so much to all the new and familiar faces that stopped by our booth and shared dinner with our team: Lisa Diegel from Faherty Brand, Tara St James from Moose Knuckles Canada, Nick Allen from Patagonia, Ellen Johnson from Columbia Sportswear Company and friends from Oxford Industries, Reformation and Veronica Beard. So sorry, if we forgot to tag anyone, it was wonderful to meet you all! And we still can't get over that amazing location for the panel discussion you invited our Roman Houlbreque to, FibreTrace®! You titled it "The Real Conversation" and delivered on the promise, thank you for having us. If you want to learn more about what was said and discussed the Textile Exchange conference in Lisbon, we strongly suggest you head over to their profile as their team shared very insightful summaries of each day. #TextileExchangeConference2025 #SupplyChainTransparency #ResponsibleFashion

Here's a reminder from our CTO & Co-Founder Peter Merkert: Make the MOST of AI in your organization – WITHOUT compromizing data security, of course (he is also our CISO).

Our fantastic product team is working hard to maximize the use of AI for the Retraced platform to make life and work easier for our customers and supplier network. What are you working on right now?

When a leading sports brand faced criticism after allegations revealed that one of its suppliers was linked to forced labor, the backlash was global 😬 In the world of footwear, brand equity is everything, and a single supply chain misstep can have reputational, financial, and regulatory consequences. In this article in our magazine, ethosphere, we’ll explore the specific vulnerabilities of the footwear supply chain and identify a couple of key opportunities for sustainability and transparency teams: https://lnkd.in/d7wzX_p8 #SupplyChainTransparency #ResponsibleFashion #Retraced

Our team will be so busy in Lisbon this week! While most of them will be waiting for you at our booth #27 at the Textile Exchange Conference, our very own Roman Houlbreque will join a very honest talk around the question: What happens when it goes wrong?

Admittedly, this is going to be a hard weekend read but an important one: In their report "What Fuels Fashion", Fashion Revolution ranks 200 of the world’s largest fashion brands on disclosure of their climate and energy-related policies, practices and impacts in their own operations & supply chains: https://lnkd.in/dT_UXxCM. The fashion industry is a key driver of the climate crisis, and the report clearly shows what that means for workers and the environment. It's all the more encouraging to read that two of our customers are in the top 20 of the index that measures how openly brands disclose information on climate and energy across five areas: accountability, decarbonization, energy procurement, financing decarbonization and just transition & advocacy. Congratulations Calzedonia Group and Tom Tailor! Transparency is the first step to change and you are not afraid to take it 💚 #WhatFuelsFashion #SupplyChainTransparency #ResponsibleFashion

As a German company, we don't say this often but 👉 Follow France's lead when it comes to the Eco Score 🇫🇷 When the French government introduced the Eco Score initiative as part of its Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Law (#AGEC), it aimed to transform production and consumption habits across sectors in practical, concrete ways, and in alignment with sweeping legislation rollouts like the Green Claims Directive (GCD), part of the EU Green Deal. Go to our magazine, ethosphere, to learn everything about the French Eco Score, how it fights greenwashing and what it teaches the fashion industry far beyond the French border: https://lnkd.in/dA3dBU_t #EcoScore #AntiGreenwashing #SupplyChainTransparency #ResponsibleFashion #EUGreenDeal

Next week at Oracle AI World (5 days to go!), our Co-Founder & CTO Peter Merkert joins a panel of experts to talk about our use case of Oracle’s Autonomous Database 🙌 Will you be in Vegas, too? Take a seat and learn how we’re using it to support AI-native infrastructure at Retraced. At this point, we treat our data like an engine room. It's the foundation for smart, scalable systems, and the source of truth for real-time insights across very complex, multi-tier supply chains. If data is not AI-ready, it just slows us down. If you're attending Oracle AI World in Las Vegas, don’t miss the panel: Oracle Autonomous Database: Best Practices and Lessons Learned 🗓 October 16 | 10:15 AM | Room Bellini 2105, Level 2 Proud to be speaking alongside experts from Lowe's Companies, Inc., Mars Veterinary Health, and KNEX Technology and Reiner Zimmermann from Oracle 💚 #AIWorld #SupplyChainTransparency #RetracedAI
