Access more features and the latest updates
Introducing Coats SeamWorks Cloud, developed by our software group, Coats Digital. Coats SeamWorks Cloud delivers helpful new features and will ensure that you benefit from the latest updates, without you needing to do anything. Coats SeamWorks Cloud can be accessed via any browser from any device giving you the flexibility of accessing anywhere, anytime.
Coats SeamWorks Cloud is a best-in-class thread consumption calculation tool, designed to help you accurately calculate your thread usage and cost. It features an intuitive, simple to use interface and allows generic garment templates to be created for consumptions and costing exercises, as well as allowing users to create garments by operation for precise thread consumption.
The thread consumption calculator can generate information on sewing thread usage and costs, to produce a single garment or any number of pieces on multiple production lines. It can help provide information regarding the most cost effective thread package distribution. As well as calculating “what if?” options. Coats SeamWorks Cloud can optimise usage through its dynamic thread tensioning settings, and generate information on sewing thread usage and costs.
Our research into thread wastage has identified that on average only 75% of all thread ordered ends up in the final sewn product. The balance may be lost through operational wastage, through residual waste or over ordering.
Coats SeamWorks Cloud features a simple to use interface that allows generic garment templates to be created for consumption and costing exercises. This helps our customers to create garments by operation for precise thread consumption.

A realistic estimation of potential thread requirements for particular garment styles or contracts will not only end up saving you money, but also enable you to use a superior thread for the same cost, thereby not compromising on garment quality.
