Step 3.5: Choose Your Workflow

← Back to Step 3: Add Connections | Skip to Step 4: Create Fabric Tokens →

Two paths for fabric producers

As a fabric producer, your workflow depends on whether you receive material tokens from your yarn suppliers.

Path A: You receive yarn tokens
Your yarn suppliers are on Aware™ and send you tokens. You'll link their tokens to your fabric tokens (full traceability).

Path B: You don't receive yarn tokens
Your yarn suppliers aren't on Aware™ yet. You'll create fabric tokens with the material data you have.

Both paths work. Choose the one that matches your current situation.

Which path are you?

Path A: I receive yarn tokens from suppliers

Your workflow:

1. Add yarn suppliers as connections (Step 3)

2. Receive yarn tokens from suppliers

3. Create fabric token and link the yarn tokens you received

4. Send fabric token to your customer

This gives full supply chain traceability (yarn origin → fabric → product).

→ Follow Path A: Create Fabric Token (With Yarn Tokens)

Path B: I don't receive yarn tokens

Your workflow:

1. Add customers as connections (Step 3)

2. Create fabric token with your production data

3. Add yarn/fiber information manually (not linked to supplier tokens)

4. Send fabric token to your customer

This gives fabric-level traceability (composition, production, certifications).

→ Follow Path B: Create Fabric Token (Without Yarn Tokens)

Not sure which path?

Ask yourself:

• Do your yarn suppliers use Aware™? (Check with them or search in platform)

• Have you received any tokens from suppliers yet?

If YES to either: Follow Path A
If NO to both: Follow Path B for now

You can switch paths later. If your suppliers join Aware™ and start sending tokens, you can switch to Path A.
