Modaris ExpertPro: An entirely original approach that takes collection development optimization even further As part of the Modaris range, Modaris ExpertPro offers companies a whole-process approach to pattern-making that deals with the garment and product line development process in its entirety. Pattern makers can create intelligent links between the different elements of a garment in order to speed up the construction and finalization of models, thereby eliminating repetitive verification tasks and ensuring optimal garment quality.
At the crossroads of design and production, this unique task-oriented pattern-making solution facilitates the rapid creation of product ranges and patterns for all garment types—lingerie, suits, men's and women's pants, children's wear, swimwear, uniforms and work clothing—from the simplest to the most complex, from ready-to-wear to haute couture. Drawing on best practices for working methods, Modaris ExpertPro is a real performance accelerator for pattern-making teams. It can halve the time needed for model development and enables companies to re-use 80% of pattern pieces created in future collections. As a result, Modaris ExpertPro frees up time that pattern makers can spend on tasks other than pattern development, such as design or work with suppliers. It is no coincidence that every company currently operating in the luxury sector in France has adopted this method and Lectra's solution.
In addition to its new dependencies concept, Modaris ExpertPro V6R1 features a concept which is unique on today's market: advanced functions enable users to create certain pattern elements such as waistbands, pockets and facings in a way that can almost be called automatic. This approach, the first of its kind, reduces the time necessary to produce certain garment parts by up to 50%.
“Modaris ExpertPro V6R1 enables us to save a considerable amount of time during our pattern “fine-tuning” phase. Despite the increasing complexity of our models, the risk of error has been even further reduced, along with the number of verifications necessary. This is achieved through an improved pattern structuring system and a reduced possibility of mistakes when making modifications,” said Claude Marchand, Head of Lise Charmel's internal Lectra Services Department, a French brand of high-end luxury lingerie.
