Blockchain, autonomous tech help keep ‘fair fashion’ in style Sponsored by Oracle
By mapping its supply chain data into retraced’s application—including certified details about the cotton growers, textile manufacturers, fabric dyers, designers, and seamstresses—Jyoti - Fair Works can update order, delivery, and production schedules and then create, print, and affix QR codes to both physical and digital garment tags.
After these chain-of-custody details are entered and mapped into the blockchain, suppliers are invited to download retraced’s application and create a user account. When an order is placed—say, for 10 women’s blouses—the application automatically pre-populates with details about the materials needed to produce Jyoti’s blouses and sends each supplier a request to accept the order.
“Having the infrastructure, database, and blockchain application running on one platform made it so much easier for us to expand our platform very quickly and at scale,” says retraced Co-Founder and CTO Peter Merkert. With Oracle Autonomous Database, “it really doesn’t matter how many processes I’m running. I can just click to get more storage, click again to get more CPU power, and boom, it’s there,” Merkert says. While much has been written about thearchitectures, they “can actually become a bottleneck,” he says. “They can scale only as much as the database and resources running behind them can provide.”
