## Description

Seedtrace enhances your webshop by showcasing the journey of your products and optionally
integrating sustainability claims in line with the Green Claim Directive. This feature
highlights the origins of each ingredient, along with detailed descriptions and 
imagery of every processing step. It gives your customers clear, engaging, and trustworthy
insights into your sustainable sourcing efforts while reinforcing your commitment
to responsible supply chains.

### Examples

**VOM FASS**, a company specialising in the production and sale of high-quality 
vinegars, oils, spirits and wines, uses the Seedtrace integration to inform about
the origin of their products and convey the stories of the people behind them in
an engaging way.

**GoodMoodFood**, a shop specialising in organic and fairly traded superfoods, uses
the Seedtrace integration to provide in-depth insights into the entire local value
chain—from cultivation to processing. They work closely with farmers and cooperatives
at the source to ensure transparency and sustainability.

**Davert**, the organic brand, implements supply chain transparency for nut spreads
at an unprecedented scale. It tracks key ingredients such as cashews, almonds, and
peanuts on batch level through dynamic data collection.

On the Seedtrace platform, you will find a powerful supply chain mapping tool that

distribution—along with locations, text descriptions, and imagery. These data-driven
stories help build trust and create an emotional connection with your customers.
Any updates made on the platform will be instantly reflected in your webshop integration.

Through sleek supplier collaboration features, you can invite your partners directly
onto the Seedtrace platform and request missing documents for prioritised ingredients
and sustainability criteria. This functionality increases efficiency by making your
supplier integration more reliable and sending automated reminders for missing data.
