Coats Digital has announced that following the implementation of its FastReactPlan solution, pioneering Bangladesh garment manufacturer, Azim Group, has realised a 15 per cent improvement in planning efficiencies and a 97 per cent faster turnaround in order confirmation – with orders being confirmed in just 30 minutes instead of two days.
Established in 1975, Azim Group produces garments for leading brands in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America. Its clients include CK Jeans, Berksha, Walmart, Kohl’s, Perry Ellis, Elcorte Ingles, Land’s End and Falabella.
Prior to implementing FastReactPlan, capacity management and line planning teams lacked the pinpoint accuracy required to respond to the buyer’s latest changes. As a result, additional effort and regular reviews were needed with merchandising to ensure all teams had a unified approach to delivery. With important information siloed in multiple sources across email, Excel spreadsheets and over phone conversations, manual planning processes proved time-consuming and inefficient. Based on insufficient data, capacity was often overbooked or under-booked, causing late deliveries and unnecessary rejection of new orders.
