As the global apparel industry continues to reel under the pressure of fast dwindling orders and shrinking profits, Bangladesh manufacturers are working hard to lure as much business as they can from their competitors such as China and India. Even as the prime strategy has been to offer lower costs, the focus has still been on developing systems to give on-time delivery and good quality to retain its buyers. Therefore, despite a substantially lower cost base than many other Asian countries, numerous Bangladeshi businesses are actively investing in technology in an effort to improve their performance.
Even as the existing FastReact users such as Standard Group and Whitehouse actively demonstrate the rapid return on investment, Texeurop and Eppyllion Group are two latest Bangladeshi companies to select FastReact planning for improved visibility and control. Simon Gibson, MD, Fast React Asia commented, “Many businesses realize that they have to struggle far too much to address last minute problems or changing buyer requirements without realizing that many of these problems can be avoided through improved planning, better visibility of problems and by having better information available when making decisions. At a time when cost pressures are more intense than ever, FastReact solutions offer the opportunity not only to reduce costs, but also to achieve a much more flexible and lean business.”
Abdul Mazid Khan, MD Texeurop, talking about their decision to go in for FastReact added, “We were looking for a solution that would help our productivity and efficiency and achieve deadlines of the whole production plan. The FastReact system, with its friendly drag and drop production planning board, is extremely user-friendly. It provides means to understand both opportunities and potential problems at a glance. The drill down function provides the further detailed information related to any order at any time.”
