Renfro Brands ramps up supply chain partnership with Inspectorio as company adds new capabilities
Inspectorio, an AI powered platform for quality, compliance, sustainability and traceability, reports that Renfro Brands is tapping its Responsible Sourcing & Compliance and Traceability & Transparency solutions.
Renfro Brands, founded in 1921, is a manufacturer and marketer of legwear and apparel for various brands. One in every five pairs of socks sold in the United States is said to be manufactured or distributed by the company. It has a portfoilio of globally owned, licensed and manufactured brands.
Renfro Brands already uses Inspectorio’s Quality Risk Management solution. By adding new solutions for responsible sourcing, regulatory compliance and traceability, it says that it can rely on Inspectorio’s AI driven workflows to replace manual processes and help it manage increasingly complex regulatory requirements, measure supplier performance and ensure compliance.
The technology will support broader and deeper regulatory compliance efforts across North America, Europe and Asia, enabling Renfro Brands to maintain compliance with all social and environmental regulations specific to each sourcing location.
“Renfro Brands is deeply committed to thoughtful brand stewardship with 105 years of manufacturing heritage,” says Todd Roeder, Vice President of Compliance and Vendor Services at Renfro Brands. “Expanding our partnership with Inspectorio was an easy decision, based on our positive experience working with them and their extensive knowledge of our industry. Working with Inspectorio, we will continue to deliver quality, innovation and style across our diverse brand portfolio while ensuring the highest levels of social and environmental compliance.”
“As one of the largest global manufacturers of legwear and apparel, Renfro Brands is setting a new standard for AI driven supply chain operations and sustainability,” says Chirag Patel, CEO at Inspectorio. “We’re proud to strengthen and expand Inspectorio’s partnership with Renfro Brands, one that has been built on mutual trust and a commitment to delivering impactful solutions across a complex global supplier network.”
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
AI will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
