How the menu is organized (read before you start) (Tenkai module)
The agents live in Improve ▸ Digital employees. What they know and what they can never see is in Registers and settings ▸ Platform and security.
| Where | What lives there |
|---|---|
| Improve ▸ Digital employees | Digital employees (the showcase), Agent autonomy, Company policies, Agents inbox, Digital employees office, Tenkai Transparency Center, Tenkai decision trail |
| Registers and settings ▸ Platform and security | Tenkai context, Data Tenkai cannot see, Tenkai channels |
Where agents usually go wrong
- Starting at EXECUTE. Without a month at SUGGEST, nobody knows whether the agent gets it right. Raise autonomy step by step.
- Policy only in the owner's head. The agent follows the written policy; what is not written it cannot guess.
- Empty context. Without the house glossary, Tenkai does not understand what "MP" or "OC" mean in your company.
Questions Tenkai answers after the implementation
- "What are the agents waiting on from me today?"
- "How much did the Reconciler save this month?"
- "Why did the agent suggest this purchase?"
The gates and the routine (Tenkai module)
Week 1 — what Tenkai knows and what it never sees
Week 2 — the agents, one at a time
Week 3 — trust and accountability
The routine (10 minutes a day): Agents inbox. Once a month: Transparency Center — and raise to REVIEW or EXECUTE only the step that got the whole month right. ✅ Go-live gate: at least two agents working, each step at the autonomy level the company chose, and the Transparency Center showing what each one saved.

Week 10Textiles
Who it is for: every company in the textile chain — from the cotton gin to the store. Each link has its own block; this one says what applies to all.
How the textile menu is organized
Tenka separates the day's work (the seven verbs) from what you register once (Registers and settings). Each link of the chain has its own group inside Deliver:
| Where | What lives there |
|---|---|
| Deliver ▸ Spinning | cotton lint, bales with HVI, blends, spinning floor, laboratory, yarn cost and margin, exchange |
| Deliver ▸ Knitting | looms, yarn recipe, production by loom, fabric inspection, third-party dyeing |
| Deliver ▸ Dyeing | dyeing recipes and batches |
| Deliver ▸ Production | collection, tech pack, cutting, production order, seamstresses, rolls, trail and certifications |
| Deliver ▸ Sales and shipping | sales order, outbound invoice, consignment and the chain map |
| Receive | money on the move: receivables and payables, bank and card machine reconciliation |
| Know | profitability, size grid and store, ABC curve and the group chain cockpit |
Week 10The textile chain
Who it is for: whoever is going to put a textile operation into Tenka — spinning (cotton lint becoming yarn), knitting (yarn becoming fabric on the looms) and dyeing (own or third-party) — with the sale of yarn and fabric at the end. It also works for whoever has only one or two of these stages: skip the weeks that are not yours.
What you have at the end: every lot traceable from the bale to the customer, quality measured at each stage and the answer to "how much does it cost and how much is left on each kilo of yarn and fabric?".
Rhythm: 4 weeks, one gate per week. Each step names the screen, where it sits in the menu and what to check before moving on. Each screen's name is a link: click it and it opens in a new tab, without losing this guide.
Who it is for: the group that has more than one link of the chain — cotton ginning, spinning, knitting, dyeing, garment manufacturing, subcontract sewing and store — each link a company (one CNPJ) within the same account, selling to each other and to outside customers.
What you have at the end: each company running its own link, one company's invoice arriving ready in the next through the network, the trail of any piece back to the cotton bale and the Group chain cockpit showing how much lint became yarn, fabric and garments, with the margin of each company and the consolidated one.
Rhythm: 6 weeks (one per link, in the order the cotton travels). In each step there are two buttons: Open in the system and See the screen's help, both in a new tab.
- ParametersTenant settingsAdvancedParameters, Production groupWhat to check: "Machine collector: gateway token" (stored encrypted; empty = the gate rejects everything) and "minutes without reading for no signal" (15 by default); "Predictive maintenance: collection days" (30), "open the order above the threshold" (on), "Loom camera: receive the defects" (comes off: turn it on when the camera is installed), "days the crop is kept" (30) and "Tenkai readings per loom per hour" (0 = Tenkai does not read the photo; the cost, when turned on, goes to the company's AI account) · Who does it: Account administrator · Time: 15 min
- Shop floor on the phoneoperator's phoneShop floorMachines now cardWhat to check: the operator chooses the stopped machine and the reason; the reason appears in the room right away · Who does it: Operator / foreman · Time: 10 min
- Dye house (dashboard)DeliverDyeingScheduling sectionWhat to check: in the morning, the overnight proposal with the before × after of each batch: confirming applies the sequence; discarding keeps today's · Who does it: Dye house supervisor (production planning) · Time: 10 min
- Sales ordersSellSales ordersWhat to check: when the proposal pushes back a finish date, the new deadline for the customer waits for sales (whoever edits the orders) — confirmed in the proposal itself; nothing goes to the customer on its own · Who does it: Sales · Time: 5 min
How the menu is organized (read before you start) (The textile chain)
Tenka separates the day's work (the six verbs) from what you register once:
| Where | What lives there | Example in textiles |
|---|---|---|
| Sell | funnel, proposals and customers | Opportunities, Customer 360 |
| Deliver | the work the factory does | Spinning, Knitting, Dyeing, Production, Supplies and inventory |
| Receive | money coming in and going out | Financial transactions, Bank reconciliation |
| Know | numbers to decide | Profitability, Management income statement, Inventory dashboard |
| Grow | capital and network | Receivables advance, Credit score |
| Improve | people, processes and agents | Employees, Digital employees |
| Registers and settings | what you register once | Customers, Suppliers, Products, Bank accounts |
The textile chain screens are all under Deliver, in the groups Spinning, Knitting, Dyeing and Production.
Before you start (The textile chain)
- Send the minimum files, separated by company if there is more than one:
- bank statement OFX or CSV for the last 3 to 6 months;
- active customers and suppliers (name, CNPJ, email) — include cotton gins, dyehouses and carriers;
- the articles you sell: yarn counts and fabric articles, with the unit (kg, roll, meter);
- the open cotton contracts (supplier, harvest, tons, price or basis, delivery window);
- the looms (type, gauge, diameter) and the spinning machines.
- If you are coming from another system, the migrator brings customers, suppliers, chart of accounts and payables/receivables: Registers and settings ▸ Getting started ▸ Migrate from another system.
Check: the Deliver menu shows Spinning, Knitting and Dyeing, and BMCode has received the files.
Where textile companies usually go wrong
- Bale without HVI. The blend and the yarn cost depend on each bale's report. A bale without HVI enters as "blocked" and does not go into the blend — check in Bales with HVI before building the first blend.
- Roll without the yarn lot. It is the yarn lot in production by loom that links the fabric's barré back to spinning. Without it, the customer's complaint does not reach the bale.
- Dyehouse without a price list. Without the third-party service price list, the dyehouse billing has nothing to compare against and everything becomes a payable without checking.
- Forgotten third-party inventory. The fabric that is at the dyehouse is your inventory: register the third party's warehouse, otherwise the fiscal × physical never closes.
Questions Tenkai answers after the implementation
- "How much does a kilo of 30/1 combed yarn cost this month?"
- "Which dyehouse was the most late in the quarter?"
- "Why did the yarn margin fall in September?"
- "Which bale did roll 4512 come from?"
- "How much of next quarter's dollar exposure is already hedged?"
The gates and the routine (The textile chain)
Week 1 — the foundation
1.1 The account
1.2 Finance
1.3 Who buys, who sells and what is sold
Week 2 — spinning (from bale to yarn)
2.1 Buying the cotton
2.2 The quality ruler
2.3 The yarn being made
Week 3 — knitting and dyeing (from yarn to dyed fabric)
3.1 Knitting
3.2 Dyeing (own or third-party)
3.3 The lot moving through the factory
Week 4 — money and margin
For those who buy in dollars or sell certificates
The owner's routine (15 minutes a week): Yarn margin (what sold below cost), Dyehouse scorecard (who was late or billed wrongly) and Profitability (the margin of each stage). ✅ Go-live gate: the cost of a kilo of yarn comes out of the system, the margin of each sale appears by lot and the owner answers "how much is left on each kilo?" without a spreadsheet.
Before you start (The textile chain in a group of companies)
- Gather the minimum files: bank statement OFX or CSV for the last 3 to 6 months, customers and suppliers (name, CNPJ, email) and the list of the group's companies with CNPJ, city and what each one does.
- If you are coming from another system, the migrator brings customers, suppliers, products, chart of accounts and payables/receivables: Registers and settings ▸ Getting started ▸ Migrate from another system.
Where the chain usually goes wrong
- Each company on its own system. Without the network, one company's invoice is retyped in the other and the trail breaks in the middle of the chain.
- Transfer price without a rule. If spinning sells to knitting at any price, each link's margin is made up. Agree the rule in week 2 (yarn cost + margin) and let the cockpit warn.
- Starting with the store. The trail is born at the bale. Follow the order of the cotton: cotton ginning and spinning first.
Questions Tenkai answers after the implementation (The textile chain in a group of companies)
- "How much cotton lint became yarn, fabric and garments in the group this month?"
- "Which company in the group had the worst margin in the quarter?"
- "Which bale did this piece's fabric come from?"
The gates and the routine (The textile chain in a group of companies)
Week 1 — the group and the foundation of each company
1.1 The group
1.2 Finance and registers
Week 2 — cotton ginning and spinning (from field to yarn)
Week 3 — knitting and dyeing (from yarn to dyed fabric)
Week 4 — garment manufacturing and subcontract sewing (from roll to piece)
Week 5 — the store and the network
Week 6 — the consolidated group
