H One – the IT arm of global apparel manufacturer, Hirdaramani – proved its mettle yet again when it was recognised with two awards at the 21st edition of the annual National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA). The country’s most prestigious event recognising excellence in the ICT sector bringing the most outstanding individuals and corporations in the industry to the spotlight.

Awards for the competition organised by the BCS The Chartered Institute for IT in Sri Lanka are distributed across 16 categories, the primary objectives of which are to recognise outstanding achievements of individuals/organisations in Sri Lanka that have contributed to the development of ICT, to create a window for international recognition of locally developed ICT products. 

Further cementing H One’s position as Sri Lanka’s leading full-service IT solutions vendor, the company nabbed -from the Industrial category- a Silver Award as well as a Bronze Award for its revolutionary, cloud-based Res.Q Smart Line and Skill Matrix and Res.Q Machine Inventory solutions respectively. Subsequent to these two awards, all the four modules of Res.Q have been recognised at NBSQA proving the quality and excellence in the product Suite. 

Res.Q| SM is a skill management tool designed specifically to cater to the unique skill management practices found in the apparel industry through a paperless digital application driven process. This streamlines the entire skill management processes by integrating skilled workers most updated skill in real time with HR systems, allowing for better decision making and evaluation processes. Integrated together with Res.Q| SM is Res.Q| LP; a production layout planning tool which transforms manual time-consuming layout planning processes to a system-based automated process. With this, factories can plan their production lines, calculate efficiencies, assign machines, assign operators, and update the maintenance team of the planned layout all in a matter of minutes – a stream of processes which would otherwise take hours to generate a production line layout.

As with the level of importance given to the production of quality apparel, the maintenance of the machinery with which they are created becomes a matter of high priority as well. H One’s Res.Q Machine Inventory is a transformative asset management solution which leverages the capabilities of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology for the management, protection, maintenance, and inventory of machinery utilised in all processes of apparel production. 

The machine management platform caters to the unique challenges faced in apparel centric asset management, like machine management and transfers. This digitises data capture, customises dashboards, and gives access to real-time analytics for faster, more precise and more effective decision-making. Even break downs can be monitored through Res.Q| MI instantly.

What differentiates H One’s offering from other competitor solutions is that Res.Q offers an entire suite of applications which addresses all unique pain points through one platform. Where most other competitor solutions cater to only one or two concerns – forcing manufacturers to assign multiple vendors to address each, with Res.Q customers have control of their entire shop-floor processes through one platform without having the need to integrate multiple systems to gather for data collection or further analytics.

Additionally, H One has prioritised affordability when designing the Res.Q modules. 

As opposed to focusing on large-scale manufacturers, Res.Q focuses on the industry in its entirety. Clients are able to transform to a digital process-driven organisation irrespective of their size. 

“We are honoured to have been recognised at such an impressive forum and in such a competitive arena for two of our Res.Q management modules,” said H One Chief Executive Officer Samath Fernando, on the wins. “We hope that these awards serve as reaffirmation of our long-standing commitment and dedication to the betterment of the apparel industry -and businesses as a whole – through our innovative and effective cloud-based solutions.”

H One is currently operating its Res.Q solutions across the world’s key manufacturing destinations Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Myan-mar, with expansion into Cambodia and Indonesia planned for the near future. As the many benefits reaped from the Res.Q solutions portfolio becomes not just apparent but increasingly vital, market entry into Africa and Central America is also an aspiration in the pipeline.
