This recognition highlights transformative results delivered for Otto International’s global sourcing operations
HONG KONG – September 15, 2025 – TradeBeyond, retail’s leading provider of supply chain solutions, has been named a finalist in the Procurement Award category at the prestigious Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2025. The nomination honors the company’s work with Otto International to modernize its sourcing operations, streamline compliance, and drive sustainability across its global supply chain.
Now in their 29th year, the Supply Chain Excellence Awards celebrate the most innovative and impactful supply chain projects worldwide. TradeBeyond’s selection underscores its role in delivering measurable results for some of the world’s most complex procurement and sourcing networks.
With an annual buying volume of over €1 billion and operations in more than 20 countries, Otto International plays a vital role in connecting retailers, brands, and suppliers. Before adopting TradeBeyond’s platform, the company relied on multiple disconnected systems to manage sourcing and compliance, creating inefficiencies and limiting transparency.
TradeBeyond’s unified supply chain platform changed that by centralizing supplier data, automating workflows, and improving the accuracy of compliance tracking. The solution:
- Enhanced efficiency and accuracy by consolidating operations into a single platform and reducing manual processes
- Improved supplier collaboration by creating a connected digital ecosystem for retailers, brands, and suppliers
- Strengthened ESG compliance with robust tools to track inspections, social compliance, and evolving sustainability regulations
Since implementation, Otto International has achieved significant cost savings, improved supplier relationships, and established greater operational transparency across its global sourcing network.
“This recognition is a testament to the incredible results our customers achieve when they embrace a connected, collaborative approach to procurement,” said Eric Linxwiler, Senior Vice President, TradeBeyond. “Working with Otto International, we’ve demonstrated how technology can unify global teams, accelerate decision making, and support the growing need for ESG compliance in the supply chain.”
The winners of the Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2025 will be announced at the awards ceremony on November 6 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
