Why TraceWeave

From scattered spreadsheets to the canonical record

The operating system of the European textile chain: product, chain and impact in one record from which compliance and impact derive. No duplicated work.

The context

Three forces converge on the European textile brand

Regulation, operational friction and reputational risk are pressing on European textiles all at once.

Regulation

· the framework arriving

ESPR and the Digital Product Passport (expected around 2027), CSRD/ESRS and textile delegated acts in expansion.

ESPR · DPP · CSRD

Friction

· today’s cost

Data scattered across Excel and email, re-captured for each framework, with constant manual reconciliation.

Excel · email · manual

Risk

· what is at stake

Anti-greenwashing audits and customers demanding real traceability over an opaque chain.

audits · retailers · investors
The difference

TraceWeave versus the status quo

What changes when you move from spreadsheets and disconnected tools to a single platform.

Frequently asked questions

How is TraceWeave different from other traceability platforms?
TraceWeave is ESPR-native: our architecture is built on Regulation 2024/1781 and its delegated acts. You don't need to map between a proprietary model and ESPR. Most platforms force data into a generic multi-sector schema. TraceWeave's model is built on the European regulatory framework: less friction, compliance built in from day one.
What does it mean that TraceWeave is "ESPR-native"?
It means our architecture is built directly on the ESPR Regulation (2024/1781) and its delegated acts. It isn't a layer added afterwards; it's the foundation of the system. When regulatory updates are published, the model evolves without migrations. Your existing data stays valid.
What is getting started with TraceWeave like?
The approach is progressive, with no leaps into the void. You import data from CSV or your ERP exports, we configure the DPP template to your needs and we work with examples from your own catalogue. You start with an initial selection of products and scale the rest of the catalogue when you're ready.
Can I start with a small pilot before scaling?
Yes. TraceWeave is designed to start with a reduced scope and grow from there. You can begin with a pilot collection, map its supply chain, generate DPPs and visualise impact. Once validated, you scale to the rest of the catalogue. The modular architecture lets you activate the engines (Risk Scanner, Impact Engine, CSRD) as you need them.
What does it mean that every figure is reconstructible to the rule?
That any number leaving the platform (a kg of CO₂e, a DPP field, a CSRD datapoint) keeps its full derivation chain: which engine computed it, from which input data and which article of which regulation requires it. In front of an auditor or a regulator, the answer is not reconstructed: it already exists.
How is it different from a compliance tool?
A compliance tool solves one obligation; TraceWeave governs the data from which all of them derive. The canonical record is loaded once and the DPP, the CSRD report, risk and impact derive from it. Regulation is the accelerator, not the product.
Are the numbers generated by AI?
No. Every official figure comes from deterministic engines (DPP Readiness Engine, Risk Scanner, Impact Engine, CSRD Data Engine) with codified, auditable rules. TracePulse, the AI copilot, interprets and explains those results; it does not invent or decide them.
The next step

The chain, in a single record

ESPR and CSRD come out of the same record that governs product, chain and impact. The 2026 Pilot opens access.

TraceWeave is the operating system for the European textile supply chain: a platform that unifies product, chain and impact in one canonical record from which the Digital Product Passport (DPP, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781), CSRD reporting, risk and impact are derived. Every figure can be reconstructed down to the article of the regulation that requires it.
