Lectra Signs On Item-Eyes

Atlanta-based technology provider Lectra has teamed up with New York–based sportswear company Item-Eyes to provide design and production software for the company’s showroom and offices.

Item-Eyes, a division of the Hampshire Group Ltd., will be using Lectra’s U4ia design package, as well as the Modaris and Diamino pattern design and marker creation modules.

Item-Eyes faced challenges producing broad apparel collections and was looking to automate a lot of its processes, said Design Director Bunny Bennett. “One of our chief objectives was to improve our design process in order to introduce fresh new styles and collections to market faster,” Bennett said.

Bennett said automating the processes should help the company focus on the creative side of the business and reduce sample production time. —Robert McAllister
