Coats Digital has announced that Fakir Fashion Limited, one of Bangladesh’s largest vertically integrated circular knitted garment manufacturers, has adopted its GSDCost solution to enhance production efficiency, standardise cost management, and optimise resource utilisation. This move aligns with the company’s commitment to sustainability and delivering high-value products to global fashion brands.
Fakir Fashion Limited, headquartered in Narayanganj, produces 300,000 garments daily and employs over 18,000 people. It supplies leading brands such as H&M, Zara, Guess, Gina Tricot, Fynch Hatton, and Tom Tailor. The company has received numerous accolades, including Best Supplier in Bangladesh by Inditex and Top Global Supplier by Esprit, for its commitment to quality and sustainability.
Recognising challenges such as inconsistent Standard Minute Values (SMVs) and inefficiencies from manual processes, Fakir Fashion sought a digital solution to improve accuracy and efficiency. The implementation of GSDCost is expected to deliver a minimum 2% improvement in productivity, while also enhancing cost prediction and reducing reliance on time-intensive workflows.
Mr. Fakir Kamruzzaman Nahid, Managing Director of Fakir Fashion Limited, commented: “As a leading supplier to global fashion brands, Fakir Fashion is committed to adopting innovative technologies that streamline operations and drive sustainability. GSDCost will help us standardise our production processes, improve cost efficiency, and reduce our environmental footprint.”
Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution provides scientifically validated benchmarks for garment production, enabling manufacturers to predict costs more accurately and improve production planning. Md. Anisur Rahman Bhuiyan, Senior Sales Manager at Coats Digital, added: “We are delighted to welcome Fakir Fashion to our GSDCost family. Their adoption of this solution demonstrates their commitment to efficiency, transparency, and innovation in garment manufacturing.”
Fakir Fashion plans to integrate GSDCost with its existing ERP system to enhance real-time data visibility and decision-making. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader strategy to implement sustainable, technology-driven solutions that support its growth ambitions while maintaining high-quality standards.
