04 Module 04, The Chain
Full visibility, from the factory floor to the raw material source.
Map and verify every tier of your supply chain, from Tier 1 factories to Tier 4 raw material sources, with transparency scores and verification badges on every supplier.
You probably know your Tier 1 factory. Very few brands can trace what happens before it.

What it does
See your whole chain, not just the factory you buy from
Your Supply Chain dashboard has three parts: a colour-coded map, a Tier 1 factory list, and a full chain overview.
Supply Chain Map
Every tier plotted and colour-coded, so you can see at a glance where your suppliers are concentrated geographically.
Transparency scores
Each Tier 1 factory shows a transparency percentage, and it climbs as you add more supplier data and certifications.
Verification badges
Every supplier record carries a Verified or Not Verified badge, visible throughout every tier.
Full Chain view
Organised by product category, Garments, Accessories, Footwear, with Tier 1 factories and their Tier 2 suppliers nested beneath.
How the mapping works
Four tiers, each one verified
Every stage of production gets mapped and checked, not just noted down and left unverified.
-
Tier 1
Finished garment factories
The factories cutting, sewing, and finishing the garment you sell, with location, size, currency, and transparency score tracked.
-
Tier 2
Fabric and material mills
Supplier name, material type, location, coordinates, and certification, linked back to each Tier 1 factory.
-
Tier 3
Processing units
Fabric, trim, and packaging processing, each with a verification status and certification information.
-
Tier 4
Raw material source
The origin of the raw fibre itself, the final link in a chain most brands have never actually seen.
How it works
Four steps, from Tier 1 to Tier 4
Built to work outward from the supplier relationships you already have.
-
Step 01
Open the Supply Chain Module
Navigate to Supply Chain, Full Supply Chain, View All Data to see the map, Tier 1 list, and overview.
-
Step 02
Add your Tier 1 factories
Start with the factories you already work with directly, then select Edit to add their supply chain.
-
Step 03
Trace it back a tier
Add Tier 2 suppliers, Tier 3 processing units, and Tier 4 raw material sources, category by category.
-
Step 04
Verify and monitor
Track each supplier's verification status and watch the transparency percentage climb as records fill in.
How a brand uses this
The challenge
A brand knew its Tier 1 factories well, but had no verified record of where fabric and raw materials came from before that. When a retail partner asked for proof of responsible sourcing beyond Tier 1, there was nothing to show.
The solution
Supply Chain Transparency mapped each Tier 1 factory's own suppliers, tracing fabric mills, processing facilities, and raw material sources, then verified the ethical practice claims at each stage.
Key features used
Tier 1 to Tier 4 mapping, supplier verification badges, and the distribution charts that show where suppliers are concentrated by country.
The impact
A complete, verified chain of custody report, ready the next time a partner or auditor asked the same question, with no scramble to piece it together from email threads.
