Mehta Garments in Tirupur produced garments for both domestic and export buyers. The owner managed a floor of hundreds of workers across cutting, stitching, finishing, and packing. The biggest daily challenge wasn't production — it was knowing where any given order was at any given time.
What actually causes this — and what fixes it
"garment order tracking — the signal that a system is missing."
In a garment factory, a single order can involve 500 pieces moving through 8 different workstations, each with different operators and different output rates. Tracking this manually — through bundle cards, verbal updates, and end-of-shift counts — meant the owner always had a picture that was several hours old.
Once Clicarity was deployed for stage tracking, Mehta Garments's supervisor could see at any point in the day exactly how many pieces had cleared each stage and how many remained. Export orders with strict buyer delivery windows were monitored in real time. Lead time improved by 2 days on average within the first month.
