·· SUPPLY CHAIN REVOLUTION ··

Global Textile Scheme:
You give fashion a voice.
We’ve given it a language.

GTS has developed the first standardized IT-industry language and basic technology for the automated exchange of essential data along textile supply chains.

For the Digital Product Passport, lower personnel and interface costs, better data quality and a circular economy.

The new B2B industry standard for automated data exchange between suppliers, producers, brands, retailers and platforms.
For all company sizes.

GTS is the new B2B standard for the exchange of detailed product data.

The principle: Suppliers provide their data via a standardized catalogue and in return receive precise information on the current requirements of their customers in production and retail. For this purpose, experienced textile experts converted for the first time terminologies, customary in the textile and fashion industry into a machine-readable and multilingual format.

GTS is not another IT platform or marketplace, but an industry initiative of market participants and IT providers.

Economic efficiency, circular economy and current and future legislation in supply chains: All of this absolutely requires standardized data exchange between all parties involved, for companies of all sizes.

GTS developed with GTS-Language a product data catalogue, which easily adapts, quickly and inexpensively to your individual product world. This allows you to translate (map) your historically grown master data into a standard industry-wide data format. This mapping is only necessary once.

GTS-Language smoothly integrates with your PDM, PLM, PIM, and ERP systems and is already an integral part of the software solutions of numerous well-known IT providers in the industry.

As a supplier, you upload your relevant product data of raw materials, trimmings, finished products including certificates, e-commerce, sustainability properties etc. to the GTS-Cat platform using simple Excel files. As a customer, you automatically import this data from your suppliers into your own IT.

Each product class has its own core data sets that are constantly being developed and adapted by industry experts. This allows you to exchange your product data with all your business partners in the same language – without “transcription” or additional interface effort.

The GTS initiative is financed by usage-based fees. There are two models for use and participation.

·· KEY One – use all GTS functions as license

·· ABOUT US ··

Global Textile Scheme (GTS) is the new industry standard for easy communication & transparent data exchange in the textile & fashion industries.

We have developed a powerful & user-friendly automation tool which neither IT providers nor larger companies have been able to establish as standard to-date.

We supplement & support existing system landscapes. Our solution is exceptionally helpful for smaller suppliers & brands, as a foundation for increasing your competitiveness in the sustainable use of limited recourse – thus preserving our environment.

Migration: Integrating the GTS Language in larger data structures is just as easy as implementing as a gradual alignment of your own IT Systems to the GTS standard – choosing the solution that best fits your degree of use.

·· THREE COLUMNS ··

·· GTS-LANGUAGE ··

High Data quality – fewer interfacing requirements

Optimal Data quality is an important factor for success for any company.

  • The best data quality comes from where the data is created: This is what the GTS strategy is based on. Because GTS users get their master data directly from suppliers with the push of a button.

  • With data requests as its basic principle, GTS minimizes transfer errors and automates data generation. This especially advantageous during hectic periods of scarce resources.

  • By doing away with manual effort, much more and better-quality data will soon be available, than is commonly possible in current day-to-day business. No more effort spent searching for important master data (e.g. for B2B or B2C product descriptions).

  • GTS allows clearly defined, functional connections in all product classes. This means IT developers only one single interface need to program a single interface, and this is done per product class for all GTS users rather than per individual client.
