In today’s competitive landscape, Fashion Brands increasingly prioritize transparency, sustainability, and agility, apparel manufacturers must transform their operations to stay competitive. Digital transformation is no longer a luxury but a necessity to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and meet the evolving demands of industry.
Indian tech startup Jaza Software is at the forefront of this revolution, offering innovative solutions that enable manufacturers to streamline operations and move towards a smarter, more sustainable future.
A smart device on each workstation
One of the key aspects of this transformation is the shift towards Paperless Factories. A paperless factory doesn’t just eliminate physical paperwork— it enhances efficiency by digitizing documentation and processes, allowing real-time data visibility, better collaboration, and more accurate decision making. The hidden costs of paper such as printing, manual labor, and storage add up quickly, and moving away from paper helps conserve resources and reduce waste, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing environment.
Jaza Software’s flagship solution, OptaFloor, is a game changer in this regard. It’s a real-time production and quality tracking system that integrates seamlessly into every workstation, from Cutting to Packing. By providing smart devices to operators, it enables data collection at the source, skill upgrades through e learning, and smart decision-making powered by predictive analytics. This real-time visibility not only boosts factory efficiency by up to 25% but also fosters trust between employers and employees. Operators can monitor their performance, track incentives, and learn new skills directly through their devices, creating a transparent and motivated workforce.
A quality checkpoint
OptaFloor also revolutionizes Quality Management through its Smart Quality Management System, which covers all checkpoints from cutting to packing. Features such as 100% inspection, roaming inspections, and AQL inspections help manufacturers ensure high product quality while minimizing rework. The system’s proactive intelligence provides alerts on high-risk operations, enabling timely interventions to prevent issues before they escalate. OptaFloor is packed with several advanced features to increase efficiency like skill gap alert, bottleneck alerts, live line-balancing, downtime management with auto alerts, Kanban system, etc. This solution goes beyond Real-time tracking by automating many processes using smart techniques and predictive analytics.
An operator using OptaCut in Cutting Room
Complementing OptaFloor, Jaza’s OptaCut software addresses one of the biggest cost drivers in apparel manufacturing i.e., fabric. Fabric constitutes 60 to 70% of the overall garment cost, and even small savings can lead to substantial profit increase. OptaCut optimizes fabric utilization through advanced planning frameworks reducing wastage and saves Fabric up to 7%. Optimization of cutting room by standardization & streamlining of cutting processes, enhancing overall production throughput and better fabric utilization which results in cost savings. This solution involves all stakeholders like -merchandising, sourcing, CAD, Quality, and cutting—and bring them on single platform to ensure fabric optimization at every stage, further driving sustainability in manufacturing.
A Time and Action Calendar
The third solution is OptaPlan- Jaza’s production planning and scheduling software, ensures complete visibility across the organization. Acting as an early warning system, it actively prevents delays and keep production timelines on track. With lead times becoming increasingly crucial, OptaPlan enables manufacturers to meet demands with greater flexibility and efficiency.
Together, these solutions bring Jaza’s vision of a paperless, transparent, and agile factory to life. By digitizing processes and harnessing the power of AI, cloud computing, and advanced algorithms, manufacturers can reduce waste, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing industry.
Jaza Software’s suite of tools—OptaFloor, OptaCut, and OptaPlan—are empowering manufacturers to embrace digital transformation and shape the future of apparel production. With a focus on sustainability, transparency, and efficiency, Jaza is driving the industry towards smarter, paperless, and more resilient manufacturing practices.
