Real-Time Data Drives Better Decisions and Increases Productivity on the Manufacturing Floor

In fashion and soft goods manufacturing, customer relationships depend on delivering the right products at the right time and price. Since most work in a sewing operation is manual, labor productivity directly affects product cost, quality and availability, yet most fashion and home goods brands lack real-time visibility into their operations. Our SFC software closes that gap by tracking production progress throughout the sewing operation, giving supervisors, managers and workers real-time information on WIP, employee productivity, labor costs and pay rates.
