Fashion brand Farm Rio plans to digitize its supply chain operations and streamline regulatory compliance using Inspectorio’s artificial intelligence platform, according to a July 28 press release.
Through the supply chain software, Farm Rio can automate and digitize compliance with international forced labor regulations, sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements in the U. S. and Europe.
The retailer will use Inspectorio’s quality risk management feature to standardize inspection workflows, scheduling and reporting across global operations, while the lab test management tool will allow it to centralize lab test requests, results and audit-ready compliance information, per the release.
Meanwhile, Inspectorio’s traceability and transparency system will support Farm Rio’s efforts to enable full end-to-end product traceability, including streamlining global compliance through automated data collection, document validation and real-time document translation.
The implementation comes as Brazil-based Farm Rio looks to expand its international footprint and digitize and strengthen its global supply chain. Previously, Farm Rio was using a single platform while it scaled, resulting in “fragmented operations,” according to the release.
Farm Rio is one of several apparel brands and retailers tapping Inspectorio to strengthen supply chain transparency. For instance, Gap is collaborating with the software provider to advance traceability and data collection efforts in its supply chain.
Similarly, in 2025, Mango began using Inspectorio’s lab test management tool to gather insights for sourcing decisions. Meanwhile, sock and legwear maker Renfro Brands expanded its partnership with Inspectorio to include technology for responsible sourcing, regulatory compliance and traceability.
The brand was already using Inspectorio’s quality risk management software.
