Used in over 3,000 factories globally, Coats Digital’s unmatched end-to-end apparel, footwear and textile software and SaaS solutions improve agility, speed to market, efficiency, transparency and sustainability.

The software business of Coats Group, the world’s leading industrial thread manufacturer, Coats Digital is a trusted industry player. Its global reach and on-the-ground local teams empower customers in their digital transformation journey, solving the key pain points which are critical to meeting industry challenges and achieving strategic growth objectives.

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. These solutions have helped thousands of brands and manufacturers, in 55 countries around the globe, to deliver significant, measurable and sustainable improvements in operational and financial performance while concurrently delivering on CSR commitments.

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.”
