Northern Ghana has gone on to reach a major milestone in its drive toward industrialization. Northshore Apparel Ghana Ltd. has chosen the full digital suite by Coats Digital so as to run the first sustainable apparel manufacturing hub of the region.
The facility, which is located in the Savelugu Municipality, will make use of GSDCost and FastReactPlan as well as FastReactFabric tools by Coats Digital in order to help with accurate costing, effective manufacturing planning, and fabric optimization.
The shift is most likely to lead to operations having no waste, ethical manufacturing, and also the creation of a lot of jobs in Northern Ghana.
The Public Relations and Communications Manager at Coats Digital, Laurena McKenna, told The Ghanaian Times that Northshore Apparel was indeed a groundbreaking start-up supported by both the governments of Ghana and Germany. She said that using full digital suite by Coats Digital would give the first sustainable apparel manufacturing hub a digital backbone, which would in a way make sure it runs smoothly, is environmentally friendly, and also happens to have a positive effect on society right from design to delivery.
Coats Digital is a part of the Coats Group, which is a global company that makes software for the clothing as well as footwear industries and offers AI-powered tools when it comes to managing the supply chain, planning production, and also maximizing method-time-cost.
Over 3,000 factories around the world make use of Coats Digital software to make their operations more efficient and open and also quick to market.
The Savelugu hub turns land that has been reclaimed into a state-of-the-art, zero-waste facility that goes on to make T-shirts, underwear, leggings, polos, fleece hoodies, kids’ clothes, and sportswear as well as pants.
The objective of the project is to lower the high rate of long-term unemployment that is witnessed in the north, stop dangerous migration to southern Ghana as well as Europe, and also create a lot of good jobs in one of the most underserved areas of the country.
It is indeed worth noting that the facility is a positive example of a new way to make clothes in Ghana, which goes on to combine technology and sustainability as well as social impact. Northshore Apparel is going to be a leader when it comes to ethical, globally competitive production along with long-term economic resilience in Northern Ghana, and the solutions offered by Coats Digital are going to be the digital backbone of the company.
