Coats Digital’s wide range of solutions include - VisionPLM: fast, efficient, sustainable product development and supply chain collaboration; GSDCost: the method-time-cost solution for garment costing and sustainable manufacturing; FastReactPlan: dynamic planning of capacity, pre-production and materials; fabric optimisation software to optimise and automate fabric buying as well as cutting room planning and execution; and Res.Q: powering smart factories with digitised shopfloor execution and control.

Akash Shah, Managing Director, Coats Digital, said: “ Coats Digital powers sustainable processes and high value insights through connected technologies. A new focus on people, planet - and not just profit - has highlighted that consumers, governments and all industry corporations are increasingly being held to account for what and where they buy; what and where they produce – and the net impacts their actions have on the world. The fashion industry has a lot to redress here. The only way to prove that meaningful steps are being adopted to take a more sustainable path will be through the evidence of data. And data cannot be properly harvested without the systemisation and automation of core products and processes across the apparel and footwear supply chains.”
