With the V2R1 release of the Kaledo suite, fashion companies can achieve improvements in branding and product design not only by accessing powerful day-to-day functional tools, but also by streamlining the design development process. As a result, companies can reduce their time-to-market, capitalize on design-related investments, and produce more innovative products in keeping with brand and marketing objectives.

Lectra's Kaledo textile solutions offer opportunities to enhance performance when dealing with extremely large repeats and achieve more accurate color management for improved color communication throughout the supply chain. The suite also provides a host of new and improved tools including multicolor, space-dye, and fancy yarns for the development of complex knits and woven fabrics.

Benchmark tests show that, compared to previous versions, Kaledo Print (V2R1) performs over 50% faster when manipulating repeats, especially with very large files. In addition, Kaledo Print (V2R1) offers considerable time savings compared to the industry's previous gold standard, U4ia, Kaledo's predecessor. The yarn libraries found in Kaledo Weave and Knit (V2R1) offer an unparalleled variety of options. Kaledo's fancy yarns allow designers to see the interplay of texture and color—how fibres, strands, and yarns blend to form the structure and texture of a fabric.

The new Kaledo (V2R1) design suite will be available in summer 2009.
