About Customer	Lise Charmel is a renowned lingerie brand that combines the beauty and elegance of French embroidery with innovative textiles. The company is known for its high-quality materials, which are essential for creating unique and sophisticated lingerie. However, these materials are also very expensive, making cost control and fabric consumption a high priority. Lise Charmel has been a long-time user of Lectra technology and has recently implemented the latest version of Lectra's pre-costing and production marker solution, Diamino, to improve efficiency and accuracy in their production processes.

Solution	Lise Charmel combined Lectra solutions with a smart process to estimate initial costs accurately early in the design and development phases. The teams can now lay pattern pieces out on lace and other fabrics virtually for material estimation purposes. This visual approach has significantly improved the marker-making process, allowing for better usability and time savings. The ability to visualize different piece and fabric placement options directly on the fabric has radically changed the process, making it more reliable and efficient. The new process has also improved communication between different departments, allowing for quicker exchanges and problem-solving. Read More Log in to view content
