○ Visualization of planning management
Conventional planning and management methods are highly dependent on the individual.

The system has made it possible to easily and efficiently manage materials and images to be submitted to customers.
The system also allows us to prepare for exhibitions, create tags from information registered in the system from the planning stage, and print planning sheets in batches.

○ Exhibition tally made easy
Business negotiations with customers are conducted on iPads. By scanning the tags created by the system, the customer’s intentions are quickly registered in the system without interrupting the business discussion.
The results of the post-exhibition tally, which used to take several days to compile in Excel, are displayed in a fraction of the time.

○ Efficient profitability management and thorough production control
While we have always had a thorough control of profitability, we are now working to further improve efficiency and link with production management. This has enabled us to respond to minor losses and miscalculations, and to improve the efficiency of production management by displaying the status on a calendar.

Used for daily cutting management and progress control

Spring Overseas, located in Delhi, India, has been doing business with well-known Japanese brands since 1980, and is well known for its high quality and quick delivery as an Indian manufacturer.

The president, Mr. Satish Chand, himself studied in Japan as a student, specializing in fashion and katagami, so it is no wonder that he has a deep understanding of Japan.
As a side note, when InfoEye was founded, it was started in a corner of Spring Overseas’ factory.

○ Improved inspection accuracy
At Spring Overseas, all orders are registered in the InfoEye system for thorough progress management. In addition to cutting management for each line, this system is also used to manage orders for fabric and other materials related to production.

Since all orders are linked to profitability management and delivery date management, it is easy to check inefficient production lines and identify products with high loss rates.

○ Strict quality standards and production control
Production management work tends to be a very personal job.

At Spring Overseas, we prevent any problems from occurring by systematizing the process.

○ Management of raw land resources
For a sewing factory, it is very important to manage the ordering and inventory of fabric materials, but it has not been easy to manage them well due to complicated shipping and receiving, erratic meters, and production cutbacks.

Therefore, Choice Fashions began its IT reforms by systematizing fabric material order forms in collaboration with InfoEye.
Choice Fashions’ IT reforms began with the creation of a system to systematize fabric material order forms in collaboration with Info Eye.

○ Daily cutting management and line management are also systematized.
The next step was cutting management and line management.

With systemization, the benefits will be seen by all, not just those in the field. However, before the introduction of the system, we were met with fierce opposition from those onsite who were making full use of paper and Excel, which have fewer restrictions.

However, by patiently helping them understand the benefits of systemization, they gradually began to see the advantages of systemization, and after six months, they were able to realize the benefits of the system.

○ Realizing the benefits of centralization from fabric material management to export
The system, which has been built little by little over more than a decade, has been centralized from raw material management to product management and export management, thereby reducing labor costs.
By centralizing the system from fabric material management to product management and export management, labor costs have been reduced, all kinds of losses have been cut, and the company has realized that it has succeeded in sharing internal information.
We have realized that all kinds of losses have been reduced and that we have succeeded in sharing information within the company.

○ Exhibition orders and headquarters tally on iPad
