MSI Case Study: Worldly

Connecting with the Open Supply Hub’s API and making use of the OS ID gives Worldly a single source of truth about facility location that can be applied to its internal data.

By using Open Supply Hub as the central source of truth for facility location data, we can match our facilities easily and quickly with any external dataset and return OS IDs to users. This is a great jump-start on the real work: finding ways to collaborate on facility performance improvement.

Worldly gets a single source of truth for facility data by connecting to the OS Hub API and leveraging the OS ID

Impact intelligence platform Worldly manages datasets from multiple organizations, each with its own unique identification schemes, facility names, addresses, and other identifying information. Worldly needed a common ID for manufacturing facilities that transcended the individual customer’s data format and allowed its technology platform to make connections across disparate datasets. Exchanging and matching data between Worldly and other industry platforms was manual, error prone and slow.

Connecting with the Open Supply Hub’s API and making use of the OS ID gives Worldly a single source of truth about facility location that can be applied to its internal data. This enables Worldly and its users to more clearly see the relationship between facilities and their customers and to guide users to the right supply chain relationship more effectively. It allows Worldly to move data quickly and seamlessly between platforms for its users, without the burden of pre-matching and testing the match logic before the data exchange occurs.

Worldly users now have increased confidence in searching and matching facilities, merging duplicate IDs and the supply chain due diligence process. Connecting with the OS Hub’s API has also accelerated Worldly's integration efforts by removing what previously had been a large chunk of work: aligning its facility records with potential partners.

Worldly is the planet’s most comprehensive impact intelligence platform, trusted by 40,000+ major brands, retailers, and manufacturers in fashion, outdoor, home goods, toys and more. Worldly uniquely collects high-resolution primary data specific to companies’ value chains, operations and products, providing insight into true impacts across carbon, water, chemistry and labor.
