TRIMIT

TRIMIT is a cloud-based ERP solution embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, designed for the fashion industry covering segments like apparel, footwear, and home textiles. It targets brands and retailers, with SME-specific versions available, offering product data management, supply chain traceability for chemicals and sustainability impacts (e.g., materials, LCA data, carbon emissions), and integrations via APIs. Key strengths include multi-device access, automatic updates, and consumer-facing product views via QR codes.

AI-generated from all supplier submitted data.

Chemical substance traceability

Chain-of-custody is a continuity capability; composition and substance traceability are depth capabilities. Neither replaces the other.

  • Product–supplier association - Specific products (styles, SKUs, batches) are linked to the suppliers involved in their production.
  • Product composition / component traceability - Products are represented as structured compositions (e.g. components, ingredients) that can be independently traced to upstream sources.
  • Supplier visibility/supply chain mapping - The system stores structured information about suppliers beyond Tier 1 (e.g. role, tier, location).

Sustainability Impact categories

Impact data coverage describes which sustainability-related topics a platform can store and manage data for. It does not indicate the quality of the data, the methodology used, or whether impacts meet specific regulatory thresholds.

  • Material attributes - (e.g. fiber type, recycled / biobased content, origin attributes)
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data - (e.g. environmental footprint indicators at product or material level)
  • Carbon & energy data - (e.g. GHG emissions, energy use, Scope-related data)
  • Water use & wastewater data - (e.g. water withdrawal, consumption, discharge, wastewater treatment data)
  • Supplier processes & practices - (e.g. production processes, management systems, operational practices)
  • Chemical impact & compliance data - (e.g. restricted substances, chemical inventories, compliance status)
  • Biodiversity & land use - (e.g. land-use impacts, deforestation-related data)
  • Human rights & working conditions - (e.g. labor practices, social compliance data)
  • Animal welfare - (e.g. animal-derived materials and related practices)

Types of sustainability impact data

Impact data coverage indicates what topics a system can handle; traceability capabilities indicate how precisely that data can be linked to products, materials, and processes.

  • Qualitative data - (e.g. yes/no answers, self-assessments, policy statements)
  • Quantitative data - (e.g. numeric values, measurements, calculated indicators)
  • Verification & audit evidence - (e.g. audit results, third-party verification status)
  • Certificates & formal attestations - (e.g. certificates linked to suppliers, materials, or products)
  • Calculated / derived indicators - (e.g. system-generated metrics based on underlying data)

Life Cycle Assessment  (LCA) handling

Product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations represent a single impact category and do not constitute a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which covers multiple environmental impact categories across the product life cycle

Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data can be stored and managed - (e.g. LCA-ready process inputs/outputs, background data, activity data);

Risk assessment support

Risk assessment functionality indicates whether a platform supports identifying, prioritising, or visualising potential sustainability or compliance risks. Approaches vary significantly between tools and may rely on user-defined criteria, predefined rules, or system-generated indicators. Risk assessments are intended to support prioritisation and decision-making. They do not in themselves constitute legal compliance or due diligence.

No risk assessment functionality;

Value chain actors involved in data exchange

  • Brand / retailer users - (e.g. internal teams managing products, suppliers, or reporting)
  • Tier 1 suppliers - (e.g. cut-and-sew factories, final assemblers)
  • Tier 2 suppliers - (e.g. mills, dye houses, processors)
  • Tier 3+ suppliers - (e.g. raw material processors, fiber producers)
  • Service providers / auditors / certification bodies - (e.g. third-party verification or compliance actors)
  • Logistics or downstream partners - (e.g. distributors, recyclers, end-of-life actors)

Consumer-facing access to product data

  • Consumer-facing product views are provided - (e.g. via QR code, URL, or Digital Product Passport interface)
  • External stakeholder access (read-only) - (e.g. regulators, auditors, partners)
  • Consumer-facing content is configurable by the brand - (e.g. control over which data is displayed)
  • Consumer-facing access is in pilot or limited deployments only
