When Gul Ahmed started working with the world’s largest home furnishing and soft goods manufacturer, they did not use a color measurement device or software. This physical and subjective process required many weeks just to get a color match, led to mismatched color during manufacturing and expensive rejects by the store, and contributed to the waste of the textile industry.
