Basteo guides a pattern through the whole workshop: from the design and a size from the chart, through a toile and a fitting, to a made-to-measure pattern, the marker, the plotter file, the quote and production.
For made-to-measure workshops, factories and pattern makers. Womenswear, menswear and childrenswear — from a single piece to a production run.
Womenswear, menswear and childrenswear, any garment. From a single made-to-measure piece to a production run.
Six steps, in this order — the way a workshop actually works.
Tell us what you sew and what you construct in today. We will show your own pattern going through the program — your file, not a demo.
In most workshops the quote lives in a spreadsheet, the cut ticket on a scrap of paper and the payroll in a notebook. Basteo keeps them in one place, so the quote, the cutting room, the shop floor and the payslip all use the same numbers: fabric consumption, standard times and prices from stock.
A bundle scan at a workstation gives four numbers: who, what, when and how long. From those Basteo builds capacity load, each operator's efficiency, on-time delivery and margin — with nothing written down by hand.
Four things that were always manual in a workshop. Two work today, two are planned. One rule: a photo gives a proposal that a person approves.
| Today | With Basteo |
|---|---|
| A pattern in Gemini CAD, versions in folders called „hoodie_final_2” | A template from formulas, versions v1/v2/v3 on the project, DXF import and export |
| A quote in a spreadsheet, consumption estimated by eye | Consumption from the pattern in metres and kilograms, cost per piece per size, a PDF quote with an approval link |
| Agreements with the client in text messages and chat apps | An agreement sheet with versions and approval, messages on the order |
| A cut ticket on a scrap of paper, bundles with no trace | A cut ticket with roll reservation, barcoded bundles, a scan at the workstation |
| An attendance notebook, piece rate counted at month end | Working time from scans, piece rate from standards, monthly settlement to CSV |
| Stock „in the storeman's head” | Labelled rolls, goods receipts and issues, reservations, minimum alerts |
Gemini CAD can stay — Basteo imports DXF with the .rul file and exports DXF and PLT, so your plotter and cutter keep working unchanged.
Figures are illustrative. The 793 cm marker comes from our test on a Gemini CAD product.
We wrote the program in a workshop near Warsaw that drafts in Gemini CAD and sews knitwear off the roll. Every feature went straight into use there and stayed only if it survived contact with the shop floor.
Longer pieces about working in Basteo, one subject per article. The bare list of changes lives in What is new.
Lay the pattern out on the floor, put an A4 sheet next to it and take a photo with your phone. Basteo corrects the perspective, traces the outline and sets the scale to within about 1–2 %.
Read moreA quote with variants and quantity breaks reaches the client by e-mail or SMS as a link. The client reads it, approves it, and Basteo records the date, the name and the IP address.
Read moreBasteo Studio has gained HR: employee records with medical checks and H&S, barcoded ID cards, working time from scans, rota, leave and sick leave, and piece rate calculated from shop-floor s…
Read moreNo. Basteo runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone. A barcode scanner connects over USB, or you use the phone camera.
Yes. Import DXF-AAMA with the .rul file and you get every size (within 0.1 % of piece area). DXF and PLT export works the other way, so your plotter and cutter keep working.
Lay the pattern out, put an A4 sheet next to it and take a photo with your phone. Basteo corrects the perspective, traces the outline and sets the scale (accuracy about 1–2 %). Or scan it to PDF. Notches and grain direction from a photo — coming soon.
AI drafts a template with formulas from your description, recognises the style from a photo (hood, pocket, zip, sleeve) and carries out commands in the program. The shape is always calculated by formulas and approved by the pattern maker. AI does not draw a pattern from an arbitrary photo.
An A4 PDF with tiles, an assembly plan and a 10 × 10 cm test square. Or an A0 PDF at 1:1 for a copy shop.
Women and men XS–7XL, children by height 50–164 cm, plus any made-to-measure dimensions. The program picks the size for the measurements you enter and shows the deviations.
Yes. Fabric consumption from the pattern in metres and kilograms, trims, labour, overhead and margin give the cost and price per piece (per size) and per order, with quantity breaks. The quote has a PDF, variants, versions and a link where the client approves it with one click.
Three numbers: an estimate at quoting time (±10–15 %, in seconds), an exact figure from the marker (±2–3 %) and the actual figure from cutting. For knits always in metres and kilograms.
No. Enter the VAT or company registry number and the program pulls the name, address, registration number, VAT status and bank accounts from the national registers.
Yes. In the client portal they see the order status, quotes to approve, the agreement sheet, fitting appointments (with an SMS reminder) and messages.
Yes: employee records with medical checks and H&S, barcoded ID cards, working time from scans, rota, leave and sick leave, piece rate from shop-floor standard times and a monthly settlement to CSV. No tax or social-security calculations — those stay in your payroll software, which Basteo feeds with ready data.
The operator scans a bundle at the workstation; the program knows the operation and its standard time. Standard hours × rate = piece rate; plus hours worked from scans, efficiency as a percentage and defects from quality control.
Yes: fabric rolls with labels (metres, weight, batch, colour, location), trims, goods receipts and issues, reservations for cut tickets, minimum-level alerts and stock value.
Yes: roles (administrator, pattern maker, cutter, view-only, client), invitations without anyone knowing anyone else's password, and an activity log with IP and device.
Everyone sees only their own; changes and downloads are in the log; accounts have brute-force protection. Clients manage their GDPR consents themselves. The data processing agreement for the workshop is in Documents.
Coming soon: each workshop as a separate, isolated area with its own clients, charts and templates.
Any device that accepts PLT/HPGL or DXF-AAMA — just like Gemini CAD.
It depends on the modules and the number of seats. A workshop subscription or a licence with rollout — just ask: bok@basteo.eu, +48 501 646 364.
Yes. From bundle scans: pieces, standard hours, hours worked, efficiency as a percentage, piece rate and defects — today, this week, this month. The supervisor sees the whole team on one board.
From the rota (shifts, leave, sick leave, holidays) it calculates capacity and sets it against the order standard from the routing. It shows workstation load, the planned finish of every order and the deadlines at risk.
It shows the numbers a supervisor optimises with: actual vs standard per operation, people's efficiency, workstation load, on-time delivery, planned vs actual fabric consumption, margin. Bottleneck detection with a suggestion to move an operation — coming soon.
Today: a paper pattern (a scaled outline from an A4 sheet, about 1–2 %) and a garment style (template and modules from your workshop catalogue). Coming soon: body measurements as a proposal (girths ±2–4 cm) and fit diagnosis. A finished pattern from an arbitrary photo does not exist and we do not promise it.
Basteo runs in the browser, so your workshop can be anywhere. We run rollout and training remotely, and on site by arrangement.
