Case Study: Cleversocks achieves faster time-to-market and improved critical-path visibility with Coats Digital's Vision e-PLM

Cleversocks Adopts Vision Fashion e-PLM to Enhance Critical Path Process Management

Cleversocks is a 40‑year‑old, family‑run UK sock manufacturer supplying specialist ranges for brands such as JCB and Pierre Cardin. Rapid growth, a larger style range and pressure to shorten lead times revealed that their existing in‑house systems and spreadsheets were becoming a barrier, so the company sought a solution with strong critical path management to protect quality and competitiveness.

They adopted Fast React’s Vision e‑PLM—including Product Manager, Costings, Tech Pack, Critical Path Management and Supplier Collaboration—to give visibility, coordination and control from design through delivery. With best‑in‑class critical path tools providing prioritized tasks, deadlines and early alerts plus better supplier collaboration, Cleversocks expects faster time‑to‑market, improved process efficiency and stronger overall business performance.
