Case Study: IDH achieves digitally traceable cotton sourcing with TraceX

IDH achieves complete farm-to-ginning cotton traceability with TraceX

IDH, The Sustainable Trade Initiative, faced significant challenges in establishing a transparent and verifiable cotton supply chain in India. Their manual, fragmented processes across multiple stakeholders resulted in limited visibility, inconsistent data, and difficulty tracking cotton from farm to gin, making it hard to meet sustainability and certification requirements. To address this, they partnered with TraceX to deploy its modular cotton traceability platform.

TraceX implemented a digital solution that onboarded farmers and ginners, captured geo-tagged farm data and cultivation activities, and enabled end-to-end batch tracking. This created a complete digital chain of custody with standardized workflows and centralized reporting. The results delivered by TraceX included complete farm-to-ginning traceability, geo-referenced records for transparent sourcing, real-time visibility into operations, and a scalable digital foundation ready for future sustainability certifications and regulatory requirements.
