October 2025 Update: Smarter Tools, Sharper Style, and More Creative Freedom

We’re thrilled to share our latest MTM.Studio update; one that brings powerful improvements across creativity, performance, and intelligence. This release helps you design faster, personalize deeper, and manage production with more confidence.

From richer fabric insights to brand-new style options and AI-powered fabric detection, this update is packed with meaningful enhancements that make every step of your made-to-measure journey smoother and smarter.

Here’s what’s new this month:

Access Your DIY Lining History

You can now view the full history of your DIY Lining requests.
Whether you’re recreating a popular design, checking past fabric choices, or reviewing customer favorites, this new history view gives you instant access to every past request.

Richer Fabric Information in the New Builder

Choosing the perfect fabric is now faster and more informed. The new MTM.Studio builder displays detailed fabric information right where you need it:

• Real-time stock levels

• Colour, supplier, and book references

• Technical details such as composition and weight

This means you can make smarter design and sourcing decisions without switching screens. It’s another step toward making the new builder your all-in-one creative workspace.

See Shipping Details Directly from the Invoice

Brand masters can now access the shipping packing list directly from the invoice page.
No more searching across systems, you can check order details, verify what’s shipped, and track deliveries in one smooth workflow.

This enhancement keeps everything connected, saving time and reducing back-and-forth between production and logistics teams.

New Customization Options for Even More Precision

We’ve expanded our design flexibility with a range of new patterns and styling options across product types:

Trousers

• Leg Shape Balance: Fine-tune fit for bow-legged or knock-knee clients (Through the measurements page - under pattern changes)

AI-Powered Fabric Recognition & Smarter Inventory

The back office just got more intelligent.

• AI fabric detection: PatternIQ, our new AI-driven fabric recognition system, now detects fabric colours with remarkable precision, almost like a trained expert. This means your fabrics are tagged and cataloged faster, with fewer manual adjustments and more consistent results across the platform.
  
  But that’s just the beginning. As PatternIQ continues to evolve, it will soon be able to suggest replacement fabrics automatically when certain materials are discontinued or backordered. It may even uncover alternative fabrics from collections your store doesn’t normally access, opening doors to new creative possibilities and ensuring your clients always have an inspiring range of options.
  

• Improved Giovanni Co. inventory integration: Real-time synchronization now keeps your stock data more accurate than ever, helping you plan production and manage availability with confidence.

These innovations are live and running, making your digital fabric management more reliable and future-ready.

MTM Lab: What’s Cooking

Our innovation team continues to push boundaries in the MTM Lab:

• Alteration Queue module: More development is underway on this upcoming feature that will simplify and make post-fitting workflows more transparent.
  

• New Waistcoat Builder (male pattern): Now available in beta for early testing, we can’t wait to hear your feedback.

Each of these projects brings us closer to a fully connected, intelligent made-to-measure ecosystem, where creativity, production, and management flow seamlessly together.
