Tilkal Supply Chain Traceability Platform

Tilkal is a Paris-based supply chain traceability software company backed by the EIC Fund and Innovacom. It helps brands and manufacturers collect data from multiple supplier tiers to prove origin, manage recalls and meet ESG and EU regulatory requirements.

The SaaS platform gathers data via web forms, B2B and B2C mobile apps, IoT sensors, Excel import and ERP or WMS connections, then traces batches upstream and downstream. It supports batch recalls, ESG claim evidence, EUDR compliance and digital product passports. Data is recorded on a supply chain blockchain network operated by more than 80 companies. Customers include Danone, Valrhona, Sainsbury's, Longchamp, Saft and Eramet.
