Operational Impact
The use of CorelDRAW has significantly improved the design process at Sierra Designs. The software's versatility and flexibility have provided greater design freedom and improved the ability to communicate with manufacturers for faster, more accurate production. The ability to build comprehensive spec packages has proven invaluable when working with manufacturers on the other side of the world. The renderings that the team creates in CorelDRAW are so detailed and of such high quality that they actually reduce the number of iterations required to create a finished garment. This has resulted in important time- and cost-saving gains in efficiency. Furthermore, CorelDRAW files are extremely portable and can be converted into other formats, allowing images used in the design process to be reused in other areas such as the company's website or promotional workbooks. | |
Quantitative Benefit
CorelDRAW cuts the time it takes to progress from one iteration to the next by 20 to 25 percent in the prototyping process. | |
The high-quality renderings created in CorelDRAW reduce the number of iterations required to create a finished garment, leading to significant time and cost savings. | |
