CLOTHING CONNECTED LTD

What CLOTHING CONNECTED LTD does

Clothing Connected Ltd is a vertical SaaS provider for the apparel and fashion supply chain, headquartered in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, with additional offices in Belfast, Sydney, and Chicago. The company was founded in 2024 and operates a cloud-based platform composed of six integrated modules: Supplier Compliance, Quality Management, Product Lifecycle Management, Procurement, Track and Trace, and Trends and Insights. The platform's primary technical differentiator is a blockchain-inspired cryptographic trace technology that provides end-to-end provenance, process, and movement tracking across supply chain stages.

The platform serves clothing and fashion supply chain participants including brands, manufacturers, and suppliers, addressing pain points around supply chain complexity, compliance tracking, quality inconsistencies, procurement inefficiency, and end-to-end traceability gaps. The Track and Trace module uses cryptographic verification to support product safety, recall management, and regulatory compliance, while the Trends and Insights module claims to surface actionable insights from aggregated big data across the platform.

Commercially, Clothing Connected operates an enterprise B2B SaaS model with subscription-based recurring revenue and a consultative, demo-driven sales motion (a 'Book a Demo' call-to-action on the website routes to a marketing.foodsconnected.com demo booking page). The company shares branding, marketing infrastructure, and contact channels with sister brands Foods Connected and Racing Connected under a unified 'Connected' ecosystem. No pricing tiers, customer logos, funding history, headcount figures, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, indicating a very early commercial stage.
