Coats Digital’s Global Marketing Director, Vrinda Hegde, met with apparel manufacturers, fashion brands and industry professionals at Apparel Sourcing Week 2026 in Bengaluru to discuss operational efficiency, production visibility and digital transformation.
According to the company, the conversations reflected a continued industry focus on building smarter, more agile manufacturing processes. Discussions covered the trends, challenges and innovations influencing apparel production, while creating opportunities for further collaboration.
Connecting Garment Costing, Planning and Production
Coats Digital develops specialist software for fashion brands and garment manufacturers, covering processes from product development and costing to production planning and factory execution. Its approach focuses on helping businesses connect these activities and improve the information available for operational decisions.
For manufacturers, the company’s solutions address method, time and cost optimisation, production planning and control, fabric optimisation and shop-floor execution. For brands and their supply-chain partners, its software supports product development, sourcing, costing, planning and order execution.
The portfolio includes GSDCost, FastReactPlan and GSDQuest. Coats Digital describes GSDQuest as an AI-powered garment-costing tool that analyses product images to identify design and construction elements and generate a standardised Bill of Labour, reducing the need for manual input.
These capabilities provide context for the company’s discussions in Bengaluru, where efficiency and visibility were central themes. Coats Digital said it would continue conversations initiated at the event and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
