Coats Digital has launched a newly amalgamated buying and cutting solution called FastReactFabric.

This is a unique, new market offering that will enable fashion manufacturers to significantly reduce fabric costs by up to 2.5 per cent, shrink fabric buying and planning times by 95 per cent and provide 100 per cent fabric tracking in order to further advance sustainability credentials and reduce overall fabric remnants that often end up in landfill. With FastReactFabric, the apparel industry can reduce the fabric required which will have a positive impact on the environment while boosting profits – putting people, planet and performance into the very core of the fashion supply chain. FastReactFabric combines Coats Digital’s previous industry-leading IntelloCut and IntelloBuy solutions into one single platform, providing a closed-loop, continuous 360-degree feedback ecosystem between buying and cutting operations, so that fashion manufacturers can accurately procure and utilise fabric effectively – reducing waste, boosting efficiency and significantly increasing their bottom line.

This is Coats Digital’s way of launching a comprehensive fabric solution that will prove instrumental in redressing some of the financial damage suffered during the pandemic while helping the apparel industry get future-proof against incoming global legislation around waste and sustainability compliance.

Coats Digital is the software business of Coats, the world’s leading industrial thread company.
