  • The Challenge.

    RA Irwin, a long-standing textile manufacturer, faced a significant challenge: its operations were heavily reliant on manual processes. From order placement to production, stock management, and finance, every aspect of the business was paper-based.

    This traditional approach hindered efficiency, limited growth potential, and made it difficult to compete in an increasingly digital world.


    The Approach.

    Sugar Rush, a digital transformation consultancy, was tasked with modernising RA Irwin's operations.

    The solution involved a comprehensive digital transformation strategy that included: Mobile App Development, Real-time Stock Management, E-commerce Platform and ERP Integration.

    Commercially crafted eCommerce

    The solution included a fully integrated e-commerce website, stock management app used by 100 staff to manage the seven step order / manufacturing process, stock levels, cost efficiencies and integration with Sage 500 system.

    Top reporters and inactive users in each organisation are captured and monitored in the dashboard allowing suitable and appropriate corporate and organisational responses to be made to the tracked data.

    Cleverly crafted eCommerce.

    RA Irwin's digital transformation has extended beyond internal operations, with the launch of a robust e-commerce platform. This online store has opened up new markets, enabling the company to reach a wider customer base and drive sales growth.

    The seamless integration of the e-commerce platform with the stock management system ensures real-time inventory updates, preventing stockouts and guaranteeing timely order fulfilment. This streamlined process has significantly enhanced the customer experience and contributed to the overall success of the digital transformation initiative.

    Production that never
    sleeps.

    RA Irwin's production processes were revolutionised through a cutting-edge mobile app. This app empowers staff to efficiently manage the seven-step order and manufacturing process, from initial order placement to final product delivery. By digitising manual tasks, the app has significantly reduced errors, improved productivity, and accelerated production timelines.


    Moreover, the app's real-time stock management feature has optimised inventory levels, minimising waste and reducing holding costs. By tracking loom productivity 24/7, the app enables the identification and resolution of bottlenecks, ensuring maximum efficiency and output.
