FastReact is giving us increased visibility of our supply chain and the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to issues...FastReact will reduce our supply lead times by 40% and will have a similar effect on our stock holding. The ability to schedule exceptional demand quickly and have a clear understanding of any additional costs incurred can only be of benefit to our customers and the business in the future

It was evident from our early research that it would be difficult to find a market solution to cope with a project of this scope and magnitude, particularly with such a significant number of stores and a wide variety of regional subcontractors and service providers to manage. Having reviewed FastReact it was clear that this was the best tool for the job and the implementation, at our Head Office in Rainham was achieved effectively and in a very short period of time

We researched our options for planning before concluding that FastReact was the best tool on the market by far. Most importantly, it is not just a planning and scheduling tool, but also a business wide tool for improving visibility and coordination. The linked planning boards for knitting and dyeing mean that each department knows exactly what was required of them and can work together towards the common goal of maximising ‘On Time Delivery Performance (OTDP%).
The system is fully networked throughout the business and a large on-line LCD screen in the Dye-house helps staff to clearly identify their work priorities based on the latest plan. In the near future, we aim to open up FastReact visibility to our supply chain - many of our customers already use FastReact, and we are very excited by the opportunity this presents for much closer collaboration

One area that had previously been a headache for us was the coordination between marketing, planning and production - numerous meetings were needed to accurately quote delivery dates for customer inquiries. With FastReact we’ve already been able to bring all these functions together in one centralised system and respond to customers with an accurate delivery date in half the time it used to take us previously. Reaction from our staff in all areas has been great. Their ‘buy in’ to the process and willingness to embrace the solution has been fantastic.
We have identified ways to reduce our lead time within a few weeks of going live and will continue to challenge existing practices. The ability to use our available capacity well and to respond quickly, yet accurately to enquiries gives us a competitive edge – we’ve made a huge investment in the very best machinery, and with FastReact we can ensure that we utilise that investment well.
