Tunicotex has implemented the digitisation strategy with the help of Coats Digital to help transform production planning and target post-pandemic growth. It has chosen Coat’s FastReactPlan.
The company is hoping to transform its efficiency, data accuracy, and inter-departmental collaboration across its full capacity of 190,000 pieces per month.

Established in 1993, Tunicotex produces for international brands such as Hugo Boss, Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein. To cater to the needs of these brand customers, the group has invested heavily in sustainability – adopting multiple industry certifications and standards, including GOTS and the Higg Index.
After the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Tunicotex began to re-evaluate its processes, systems, and technologies and identified several roadblocks to its ambitions for post-pandemic growth. Before implementing FastReactPlan, key factory departments relied on data housed in disconnected spreadsheets, and manual communication via email to orchestrate planning and pre-production.
Haithem Bouagila, managing director of Tunicotex, says selecting Coats Digital as a digital transformation partner was an obvious choice.
“FastReactPlan is a trusted solution, proven thousands of times over across the garment and textile industry, and…we are confident that we will see a significant return on our investment in the next two-three years.”

By GlobalDataTo achieve that ROI, Tunicotex will make use of FastReactPlan’s visual, intuitive planning board to overhaul its planning process for greater efficiency and closer alignment with delivery deadlines. The detailed MRP (Material Supply & Demand) built into FastReactPlan, integrated to Tunicotex’s ERP system, will enable Tunicotex’s teams to dynamically calculate their material supply and demand from an accurate, up-to-date sewing plan.
