Chinese apparel manufacturer Zhangjiagang Top Textile has selected Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan solution to be rolled out at its headquarters and across its sub-contractor production facilities within China.

The solution will provide a solid foundation for the company’s overall digital transformation strategy by seamlessly connecting and consolidating information across disparate sources into one visual, unified system, to provide a clear overview of planning and production capacity for management and employees.

Established in 2010, Top Textiles has enjoyed steady growth over the past 12 years and is headquartered in Zhangjiagang. The company has over 300 staff and specialises in womenswear and coats. It is a key supplier to leading US brands.

Its headquarters, located on the Yangze River delta, is home to apparel production floors, technology rooms, fabric colour services, product testing and inspection areas, whilst production is carried out through 50 expert sub-contractors all over China. Orders are realised through carefully tailored methods that maximise efficiency for seamless production and quality.

 “Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan has become the core solution for our digital transformation,” said general manager Alles Yang. “It was expertly integrated into our ERP and MES systems to ensure information seamlessly connects between all key systems.”

“The rapid change in consumer preferences and demand makes it increasingly difficult to grasp what will be the next trend to storm the market,” added IT director Yan Fang. “This leads to fragmented orders and more flexible delivery requirements, meaning that planning becomes more complex. These scenarios demand more stringent requirements for information management and we hope that FastReactPlan will greatly improve our ability to deal with complex problems quickly, whilst ensuring the communication between our factories and business departments runs more efficiently and smoothly.”
