A single e-language for the supply chain of the European Textile, Clothing & Footwear industries.

In an increasingly complex and fast-changing trade/economic environment, the fashion and footwear industries requires fast time-to-market reaction.

Standards and agreed reference architectures allow suppliers, manufacturers and retailers to connect their businesses within the value chain. Despite lot of initiatives in the fashion industry, standardisation and widespread adoption by users, were still lacking until eBIZ-TCF.
eBIZ-TCF creates synergyes between the specifications of Moda-ML (Textile clothing manufacturers), Shoenet (Footwear manufacturers) and UBL (retail for clothing and footwear).

Project Consortium

The project consortium is made up by the 3 key partners(EURATEX, CEC, ENEA) authors of the project proposal and, responsible vis-à-vis the EC for the correct project implementation.

The great novelty are the eBIZ-TCF specifications for RETAIL

Finally with eBIZ a standardised specification is available for Textile Clothing and Footwear towards RETAIL organisations.
The specification is common for Textile-Clothing and Footwear and is based on a profile of use of the UBL standard. more info on the architecture
