Case Study: Darn Tough achieves faster, real-time shop floor operations with Jitterbit App Builder

Apparel Mfgr. Streamlines Shop Floor Experience with Mission-Critical Apps

Darn Tough, a U.S.-based apparel manufacturer, needed to modernize its shop floor operations and move to the cloud without disrupting production. Its complex ERP system made basic data entry slow and error-prone, with workers relying on paper binders and spreadsheets instead of real-time information. The company turned to Jitterbit App Builder to simplify workflows and connect shop floor employees with the systems they needed.

Using Jitterbit App Builder, Darn Tough built guided apps for data entry, spec sheets, and a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that integrated with its third-party cloud ERP and other shop floor tools. The result was a much more seamless manufacturing process, real-time visibility, and faster app development cycles—from days or weeks down to hours or days. Jitterbit helped cut data entry time by nearly 90%, reducing one task from five minutes to about 30 seconds.
