The latest offering from technology specialist Lectra includes two new solutions designed to help both design and product development teams better share information in a bid to boost speed and efficiency and keep up with consumer demands.
According to the firm, Lectra Connected Design and Lectra Connected Development are collaborative environments that integrate business applications to aggregate, standardise and store data from all design and product development stages.

Both solutions aim to make every-day working life less stressful by allowing criteria-based searches, inciting users to capitalise on data links, and providing them with innovative tools and services to speed up their processes.
Lectra Connected Design facilitates collaboration between textile and fashion designers, colourists, graphic designers, technical designers and their managers by providing design teams with a connected environment.
Team members can access the platform via their Lectra Kaledo design software and Adobe Creative Cloud, share inspiration and review collections together or upload inspirations via dedicated mobile apps. This solution gives users the visibility needed to streamline, automate and monitor the entire design process to ensure that they remain creative under severe time constraints, says Lecta.
In the same way, Lectra Connected Development connects patternmakers, graders, technical design teams, managers, cost and margin specialists, marker makers and sample teams through data. It allows team members to connect through Lectra Modaris 2D and 3D patternmaking software and Lectra DiaminoFashion marker-making software.

That way, they can reach their fullest potential as key contributors to their companies’ success.”
