Case Study: Fogarty achieves £80K annual cost savings and faster planning with Coats Digital's FastReact solution

Fogarty achieves cost reduction and rapid business improvements

Fogarty (Filled Products) Ltd is a UK stock-based bedding supplier serving major retailers (including Marks & Spencer and Debenhams) with both offshore-sourced natural products and UK-manufactured synthetics. Many orders require customer-specific packaging and despatch from stock within 24 hours, and the company's spreadsheet-based planning had become slow, manual and unable to meet growing demands.

Fogarty implemented FastReact APS advanced planning, dramatically reducing manual workload, shortening planning cycle times and enabling planners to model and challenge stock policies and lead times. The change delivered about £80,000 per year in operational savings, significant stock reductions and faster customer response, with further improvements anticipated.
