Case Study: DTRT Apparel achieves improved on-time delivery, up to 10% efficiency gains and up to 50% lower air‑freight carbon footprint with Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan

Mission-led Manufacturer DTRT Apparel Uses Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan to Set New Sustainability Standards

DTRT (Do The Right Thing) is a mission-led apparel manufacturer in Ghana that employs over 2,400 people across 35 production lines to produce sports and lifestyle garments. As it planned rapid expansion, DTRT faced efficiency hurdles from manual processes and disconnected data—causing missed deliveries, high employee downtime, margin erosion and an over-reliance on air freight.

In 2021 DTRT implemented Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan across its production lines to create a clear materials critical path and consolidate production data for accurate planning. The solution improved visibility and scheduling, boosted efficiency (up to ~10%), cut air freight costs and carbon footprint (up to ~50%), strengthened margins and enabled confident, sustainable scaling.
