The Certification Tracker on The Chain solves this by giving every certificate a home and a clear place in the supply chain.

The tracker works around two distinct types of certification, and understanding the difference matters. Scope Certifications cover a factory, supplier, or material as a whole. Think GRS, GOTS, or OEKO-TEX certificates that apply broadly across a supplier relationship.

Fashion and textile brands often struggle to keep track of their growing network of factories — from current suppliers to future prospects. With compliance documents, audit results, and wage data scattered across systems, oversight becomes messy and inefficient. To solve this, The Chain developed the Factory Management Module — a centralised tool that brings all factory information into one searchable, structured place. With smart search, factory reviews, and clear overviews of wages and compliance, brands can finally gain the clarity they need to make better, more responsible sourcing decisions.
