The Fiber Backwards Approach: Understanding the Risks

Many DPP solutions available today operate on a "fiber backwards" approach. This means they attempt to trace the product's journey starting from the end-product and moving backward through the supply chain. While this method can provide some insights, it is fraught with challenges. The primary risk is the potential for gaps in data accuracy and reliability. In a fiber backwards system, there is a higher chance of missing critical information or encountering altered data, as each step of the supply chain relies on the previous one for verification.

The Fiber Forward Advantage with Aware™

Aware™ revolutionizes the concept of DPPs with its Fiber Forward approach, ensuring all your supply chain data is precisely tracked from fiber to shop. This method is fundamentally more reliable as it starts at the very beginning of the supply chain. Each step is validated by the suppliers involved, with data securely recorded on a public blockchain. This ensures that nothing can be altered once it’s been documented, providing an immutable record of the product’s journey.
