TradeBeyond Introduces AI-Powered Supply Chain Traceability Tools

HONG KONG, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TradeBeyond, a leader in retail supply chain management solutions, has announced a significant advancement in its traceability solution through the integration of artificial intelligence. This upgrade allows global brands and retailers to improve visibility and reduce risks in their supply chains.

TradeBeyond remains at the forefront of supply chain traceability. Its latest platform enhancements incorporate artificial intelligence to automate documentary verification and document chain of custody. These improvements bolster efficiency, security, and reliability. Advanced AI verifies the authenticity and integrity of products, tracing their journey from raw materials to production and delivery in compliance with increasing ESG regulations and standards.

TradeBeyond's enhanced traceability solution leverages AI to automatically scan all documents, including orders, invoices, bills of lading, and shipping advices. It compiles the chain of custody documentation and checks critical product and shipment documents against multiple databases of blacklisted entities for potential compliance risks. The AI also identifies gaps or missing documentation, alerting businesses and suppliers for resolution before shipping.

"TradeBeyond's customer base includes some of the world's largest brands and retailers. For these businesses, manually reviewing thousands of documents and verifying their chain of custody is extremely inefficient," explained TradeBeyond CEO Michael Hung. "Our latest AI-powered traceability capability eliminates this challenge."

Recent global supply chain due diligence laws, including the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and others, have placed stringent requirements on brands and retailers to provide their goods' chain of custody. TradeBeyond's AI dramatically simplifies compliance with these laws, while increasing the data accuracy, visibility, and transparency necessary for sustainable sourcing.

"This advancement in traceability demonstrates TradeBeyond's commitment in its mission – to help retailers, brands, and suppliers achieve more efficient and responsible supply chains by empowering them to streamline their efforts from product ideation to production, and beyond," Hung said.
