• A Leading Apparel Manufacturer 
   
• $250M+ Annual Revenue 
   
• Global Vendor Network 
   
• Multiple Production Sites 

A major apparel manufacturer operating across multiple continents had built a strong supply chain, but there was a thorn in their side that had continued to plague operations.  

Inefficiencies in production tracking.  

While it may seem innocuous at first, this problem had the potential to upend the company’s entire operations.  

With vendors spread across regions, they struggled to monitor production progress, predict delays, and maintain on-time delivery.  

In an industry where speed and efficiency define success, they needed a centralized, digital production management solution—one that could give them complete visibility over their global supply chain. 

That’s when they turned to Triple Tree Solutions. 

The Problem 

• Frequent Production Delays 
   
• Lack of Real-Time Vendor Performance Insights 
   
• Inefficient Communication Between Teams 

The company’s manual tracking processes were leading to lost time, miscommunication, unnecessary costs, and delays that could have been easily avoided.  

Their production teams relied on email updates, spreadsheets, and fragmented reporting systems, making it difficult to: 

• Detect production bottlenecks early
   
• Coordinate between vendors and production sites 
   
• Ensure on-time delivery of purchase orders 

Without a real-time, centralized system, delays went unnoticed until they caused significant disruptions. Updates were lost on long e-mail threads, spreadsheets violates major cybersecurity and data concerns, and no one where what stage of production a product was at any given time. 

Systems that had been used from the start had not evolved over time. As things had scaled, the old ways just could not keep up and were actually contributing the problem, instead of solving them.  

Production was just one side of the story. 

Late shipments were costing them millions in penalties, strained vendor relationships, and dissatisfied customers. Empty shelves were leaving customers dissatisfied, and reputation management was starting to become a real problem. 

Triple Tree and TrackIT 

Triple Tree Solutions conducted an in-depth assessment of the company’s production workflow, vendor collaboration challenges, and tracking inefficiencies. 

It was clear that through all the emails, spreadsheets and paperwork – some semblance of a system was there to track production. Triple Tree studied the company’s existing processes in order to map out workflow diagram that mapped out production from end to end. 

From this diagram, Triple Tree Solutions and the apparel manufacturing company worked top-down to identify key production stages that could benefit from digitization. The process began with mapping out the entire manufacturing workflow, from raw material sourcing to final quality control, pinpointing areas where manual tracking led to inefficiencies, delays, or quality inconsistencies. 

Each stage of production was analyzed to assess digitization potential: 

Material Procurement & Inspection – Ensuring the right fabric and trims were sourced, inspected, and logged digitally to prevent mismatches or defects from propagating downstream. 

Cutting & Sewing Operations – Tracking fabric consumption, machine utilization, and work-in-progress (WIP) metrics in real time to improve efficiency and reduce waste. 

Assembly & Finishing – Monitoring production timelines, workforce allocation, and defect rates to enable faster issue resolution. 

Quality Control (Inline & Final Inspections) – Implementing digital checklists and inspection reports to standardize quality assessment and ensure defect trends were flagged proactively. 

Packing & Logistics – Enabling real-time shipment tracking, cartonization, and labeling accuracy to prevent errors before goods leave the factory. 

TrackIT was the obvious choice. Triple Tree’s flagship production tracking and management platform, was always going to be the right solution, but it was a matter of adapting TrackIT to the companies processes rather than the other way around. 

With its ability to streamline production tracking, facilitate seamless vendor collaboration, and digitize workflows, TrackIT would begin to digitize the company’s production processes from reactive to proactive. 

Deployment 

• 30% Improvement in Supplier Selection Efficiency
   
• 50% Increase in Production Planning Accuracy 
   
• 45% Reduction in Lead Time 

To ensure seamless adoption, Triple Tree implemented TrackIT in multiple phases: 

1️⃣ Production Data Standardization: 

The company had inconsistent production tracking methods across vendors. TrackIT introduced a single, standardized platform to consolidate all production data. 

2️⃣ Real-Time Order Tracking: 

TrackIT provided real-time visibility into order statuses, allowing managers to monitor delays and production milestones effortlessly. 

3️⃣ Vendor Collaboration Dashboards: 

A dedicated vendor portal was integrated, enabling instant communication, document sharing, and real-time production updates between teams. 

4️⃣ Predictive Performance Insights: 

TrackIT’s predictive analytics engine helped the company forecast potential production delays and adjust plans proactively—before minor issues escalated. 

5️⃣ On-Time Performance (OTP) Metrics: 

TrackIT’s real-time OTP scores allowed the company to track vendor reliability and optimize supplier selection based on performance data. 

Implementation & Results 

📌 40% Reduction in Production Delays 

📌 35% Increase in Vendor Productivity 

📌 25% Reduction in Overhead Costs 

Efficiency Gains & Time Savings

Before TrackIT, production teams spent hours gathering status updates from vendors, manually compiling reports, and chasing delayed orders. With automated tracking and live dashboards, they eliminated bottlenecks and reduced delays by 40%. 

Improved Communication & Transparency 

TrackIT’s centralized communication hub ensured all stakeholders had real-time updates, reducing errors and eliminating the need for back-and-forth emails. The system’s supplier scorecards allowed managers to evaluate vendor performance instantly. 

Enhanced Decision-Making & Resource Allocation 

With TrackIT’s predictive analytics, the company gained foresight into potential disruptions, allowing them to reallocate resources efficiently and maintain smooth operations across global production sites. 

Scalability & Long-Term Impact 

After a successful pilot phase, the company is slowly expanding TrackIT across all vendor locations, making it a core part of its supply chain operations. 

This way, the company will benefit from from: 

✔ A fully digitized production tracking system 

✔ Streamlined communication across global teams 

✔ A data-driven approach to vendor selection and resource planning 

Conclusion 

By adopting TrackIT, this global apparel manufacturer transformed its production management process, reducing delays, improving efficiency, and strengthening vendor relationships. 

The partnership with Triple Tree Solutions ensured that the company’s supply chain became more transparent, agile, and future-ready—allowing them to scale without bottlenecks.
