Coats Opti Express Zip Sampling
Coats Opti Express Zip Sampling
Coats Group plc, the world’s leading industrial thread and
consumer textile crafts business, is launching Coats Opti Express, a
revolutionary zip sampling service. This new service for the fashion and
textiles industries delivers zips via a web-based state of the art sampling
system. The new service is being showcased on the Coats stand (hall 5.1, stand
B30), at Texprocess, the international fair for the processing of textile and
other apparel materials, in Frankfurt, Germany, 4-7 May.
Opti Express provides the fastest and simplest zips sampling service in the
market. Currently the lead time for a standard zip sample averages 14 days but
Coats Opti Express reduces this to just five days. The lead time for a fully
customized zip will be reduced from several weeks to 10 days.
The increased speed of delivery is due to a newly created digital tool which
helps customers quickly and easily select the most appropriate zip sample for
their needs, specify the shade and length and select a puller. Production of
the sample starts as soon as the request is submitted and the digital tool also
helps eliminate several time consuming manual interventions in the ordering and
production process.
Each individual zip comprises several elements including tape, teeth, slider and
puller but with so many different varieties and styles to each element, the
choice can be overwhelming and consequently time consuming. Opti Express has a
large and easily searchable online catalog of components featuring intuitive
layouts, automated zip and puller configuration and guidance to easily select
the right zip and puller.
Rajiv Sharma, Global CEO, Industrial, Coats Group plc, said:
‘Coats Opti Express is an industry game changer. It makes zip selection
simple, quick and easy and significantly reduces sample delivery time.’
Picking the perfect colour match is also made easy using the Coats Colour
Capsure device and the online application helps locate the closest sample.
Custom pullers can be ordered using four rapid sampling options. These include
technical drawings for bulk production in two days, 3D plastic samples printed
within three days and the Coats propriety cast metal prototype, the ProtoPul,
ready in five days. It is also possible to track the order request at all times
by logging on to the online system.
The new service has been piloted in China, Sri Lanka, UK and the US and is now
being rolled out to more customers. The next phase of the project will be to
add a ‘Bulk’ order facility to help convert sample requests to bulk orders
