Case Study: Seidensticker achieves multi-tier supply chain visibility with Retraced

Seidensticker onboards nearly 300 suppliers with Retraced

Seidensticker, a family-owned apparel manufacturer, faced the challenge of gaining visibility into its multi-tier supply chain beyond its direct Tier 1 suppliers. Their existing in-house system was unable to efficiently document subcontractors and mills to meet growing traceability demands from customers and regulators. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Retraced to implement its supply chain transparency platform.

The solution from Retraced provided a collaborative platform for suppliers to manage and share their own data. This enabled Seidensticker to onboard nearly 300 suppliers in the first year, quadrupling visibility beyond Tier 1. The results included streamlined certificate management, reduced manual effort, and a single source of truth for audits, allowing the company to efficiently meet compliance requirements and customer requests for traceability.
