eTrackit is a digital traceability system for certified materials, tracking volumes at the individual product level.

ABOUT

A forward-thinking system delivering granular traceability

Designed to increase efficiency throughout the supply chain, eTrackit works by electronically tracking certified materials for each key product transformation, as well as every time products are transacted between a seller and a buyer. eTransactions establish material accounting at the article level throughout the supply chain, dual verified by peer-to-peer validation and third-party certification body transaction approval. Each kilo of certified material is traced, providing real-time visibility of certified inventory transfers in a closed loop supply chain.

TIMELINE

eTransactions are live on eTrackit

As of September 18, 2024, eTransactions are now live in eTrackit, which means transactions of GRS or RCS certified material can begin flowing on the platform. In the eTrackit system, transaction certificates are replaced by eTransactions, which are the foundation for validating the chain of custody in the platform.

eTrackit is set to expand to include a wider selection of Textile Exchange standards and is only intended to trace material certified to these standards, meaning it will not scale to include other standard systems or materials that are not certified.

eTrackit’s initial release application is powered by the traceability platform TextileGenesis. Textile Exchange is working towards bringing other technology solutions into the eTrackit system. At this time, Textile Exchange will work in parallel with a shortlist of technology platforms to pilot the eTrackit system.

TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS

Trackit multi-party traceability system pilot

The Trackit multiparty traceability system pilot, running throughout 2025, aims to test an interoperable traceability framework that connects both dTrackit and eTrackit and functions seamlessly across diverse technology platforms.

Application to participate as eTrackit tech provider in this pilot is now closed, and we extend our gratitude to all tech providers who expressed interest in collaborating. The selection process was focused on ensuring the most strategic fit for this pilot stage and does not assess the overall capability or merit of the tech platform.

Textile Exchange is excited to collaborate with Peterson Technologies, Retraced, TextileGenesis, and TrusTrace to test out this framework and looks forward to reopening the application process to engage with additional providers following the successful completion of this project.
