Digital system, combined with professional services expertise to manage products from ideation to consumption to recycle. We connect people, processes and systems under one global view to better plan create, produce, monitor and manage their supply chain from the very highest perspective, down to a level of product and ingredient detail to elevate the opportunity to manage for a sustainable future.
Not only does the system provide companies with the flexibility they need to reduce the impact of events that disrupt competitors’ supply chains – it enables organisations to enforce best practice policies, for example treatment of people and planet in the operation of the supply chain – giving the ability to manage and reduce risks to the climate and reputation.
We can provide visibility from the moment a product is created (a digital birth certificate), to the moment it is reused. A cyclical journey of the product, through a product passport, involving thousands of components, processes and people. One World not only enables organisations to elevate awareness of people and process, but also enables the reduction of supply chain disruption risk, reputation risk, maximise profitability, and plan more effectively in an increasingly complex world economy.

When gathering feature request feedback, we want to ensure we truly understand the use case and pain point. This feedback can be requested via the One World help centre and internal stack strategy reviews and will be reviewed by the Product team.
