WFX (World Fashion Exchange)

WFX, also known as World Fashion Exchange, is a fashion technology vendor founded in 2000 by a family that previously ran its own apparel brand and manufacturing business. Company databases list its headquarters in Gurugram, India. WFX reports serving more than 1,000 fashion businesses in over 50 countries.

The product range splits by customer type. For brands, WFX offers Fashion PLM, a virtual showroom and traceability software. For manufacturers, it offers apparel ERP, textile ERP, a smart factory MES and AI-assisted production planning. All products are cloud and browser based, with mobile apps and a built-in vendor portal for supplier communication. This combination suits organisations where brand and manufacturing operations overlap, such as vertically integrated apparel groups.

Traceability is the main sustainability component. WFX describes supply chain mapping from raw material sources to finished goods, a central store for sustainability certificates and product-level data, automated data collection across supplier tiers, certificate expiry tracking with alerts, and dashboards for sustainability metrics. These data sets map well to the inputs a textile Digital Product Passport will require under ESPR once the textile delegated act is adopted. WFX publishes educational content on the DPP but no dedicated passport issuance feature was found, so buyers should ask how traceability data would be exported to a DPP platform. European presence is not documented in public sources.

WFX documents supply chain mapping, sustainability certificate management and multi-tier data collection; no dedicated DPP, ESPR or PPWR functionality was found.
