With the DLT solution, Customers would be able to track and monitor the entire process of purchased clothing from its production up to the retail point of sale with a dedicated app.

The app is designed to read the QR codes that would be embedded in the clothing material.  IOTA DLT technology would be used to curate the information about the clothing manufacturing date, raw materials used and other minute details.

This extensive process would enable customers to authenticate the quality of products and prevent the problems of counterfeiting. Debbie Shakespeare the senior director of sustainability and trust revealed that the blockchain solution would put a wealth of information in the hands of consumers increasing trust in the brand.
