Suppliers

Manage your upstream suppliers — fabric mills, yarn spinners, dye houses, and raw material providers. Declaring your supply chain in Pasera makes the full production trail visible to your brand partners.

Adding a supplier manually

  1. Go to Suppliers in the sidebar
  2. Click Add supplier
  3. Enter:
    • Company name
    • Country
    • Tier — Tier 2 (fabric/dye) or Tier 3 (yarn/farm)
    • Supplies — what they provide (e.g., fabric, yarn, dye)
    • Contact email — optional, can add later

Manually added suppliers appear immediately in your supplier list. You can create products and materials on their behalf and link them to production requests — no need for the supplier to be on Pasera.

Inviting a supplier to Pasera

After adding a supplier with an email, click Send invite in the table. They receive an email with a link to:

  1. Create their own Pasera account
  2. Set up their factory profile
  3. Register their products with materials and environmental data

Once they join, their status changes and their self-reported data replaces any placeholder data you entered.

How suppliers participate in DPP requests

When a brand creates a batch using your factory, and the product references materials from your suppliers:

  1. You receive the main DPP request (Tier 1)
  2. Each supplier automatically receives their own request for their portion
  3. They fill their data independently
  4. You can track their status on your request detail page
