A proposal for Nobody's Child
Know the wage gap before you place the order.
The Wage Intelligence Package puts living wage data where sourcing decisions get made. This is what it looks like across your 80 suppliers.

The Chain has been updated following our partnership with Fairtrade. We're announcing it in mid-October, with the official launch in November. Everything in this proposal reflects the updated platform, and the pricing is unchanged.
Living wage payments tracked from you, to the factory, to workers, in line with Fairtrade.
The wage uplift can be paid as a separate PO line item, traced to a Wage Tracker period, with factory receipt and payslip evidence behind it.
Clearer analytics and reports across all of your factories.
If you want Fairtrade certification, the route is simpler. It's an option, not a requirement.
The updated platform: Cost to Close now includes Payments and Distribution views.
Wage Tracker, Cost to Close, and Supplier & Factories all draw on the same factory and payroll data.
Every connected factory measured against a living wage benchmark, updated as new payroll data comes in. You see the gap per worker, per factory, and whether real wages are moving in the right direction — not just at audit time.
Live at the point of FOB negotiation: the uplift needed to close the wage gap, shown per garment, alongside the floor price below which minimum wage gets breached. Priced fairly, decided with the numbers in front of you.
One record for every factory. Detailed information aligned to the Fairtrade Standard review section, so compliance status sits next to the wage data.
Cost to Close in practice — the PO differential breakdown and wage outcome scale for a live order.
Every user gets a built-in AI agent, sitting across all three modules. Ask it a plain question about your supply chain or Cost to Close data, and it answers straight from your live numbers.
An automated report across all your factories, sent at the start of every month.

* August figures, September payroll not yet received. Pay from real payroll, checked line by line. Each factory then gets its own page, those needing attention first.
At 80 suppliers, Nobody's Child sits in the 50–150 factory bracket. Pricing below is for the platform on its own — semi support, where the day-to-day sits with your team and we step in when you need us.
Because the fee is banded by how many factories are live, cost rises in step with the rollout below — not from day one at full price.
| Month | Factories live | Bracket | Platform fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | 10 | 5–20 | £1,500 / mo |
| Months 2–3 | 30 | 20–50 | £3,000 / mo |
| Months 4–5 | 60 | 50–150 | £4,500 / mo |
| Month 6+ | 80 | 50–150 | £4,500 / mo |
With semi support, your team runs The Chain day to day, and we're watching for red flags.
Choose which factories are active. Tell us when you add a new one.
Analyses your data and sends you an update every month.
Gets alerted to every red flag, like a payroll not connecting, a wage below minimum or slow progress. We look into it first, then come to you. You're notified of every red flag too.
When something is red-flagged to us, here's what happens.
Priced per factory, and chosen factory by factory — not every supplier needs the same starting point. Both options include a payroll test, to check the data comes through clean before a factory goes live.
Rather than all 80 factories at once, we'd suggest starting with your core suppliers and building out over six months. This is a starting point to adjust together.
10 core suppliers live. Your highest-priority factories, connected first.
+20 factories. Expanding out from the core group.
+30 factories. The bulk of the remaining network comes online.
+20 factories. Full network live and reporting.
Based on what we've done with other brands, here's how we'd sequence it — and we've run a six-month onboarding much like the one suggested here before.
Your core factories get the full baseline report from day one. Other suppliers can have simple onboarding, unless red flags are found.
See where the network stands and how the gap is moving before deciding what's next.
If the report flags red flags at other factories, we run a full review on just those — priced separately, only where it's actually needed.
Optional, and priced per factory. We start with your data on The Chain, then our team does the analysis.
One focus area, such as gender, minimum wage or overtime. Price depends on depth.
For factories that need closer watching, every three months until fixed.
A once-a-year check, ideal for your high-profile factories.
Human rights risk screening and satellite imagery, for factories already on The Chain.
API access into your PLM, so order and factory data flows through without manual re-entry.
Happy to talk with Fabricus about connecting Wage Tracker data into DPPs.
