Window coverings software – one tool for fabric blinds, day/night blinds, Roman blinds, pleats, venetian blinds and verticals

In companies producing window coverings, the product range often includes a dozen different technologies – from fabric blinds and day/night blinds, through pleats and venetian blinds, to Roman blinds and verticals. Each of these products requires a different design approach, a different set of components and a different costing method. As the range develops, the number of variables increases: fabrics, colours, mechanisms and mounting methods. Maintaining order within such a structure becomes increasingly difficult, especially when technological and commercial data are scattered across various files or systems.

Stolcad^® Professional streamlines these processes by creating a unified working environment for all types of window coverings. Thanks to a central database and technological templates, the software eliminates the need for separate calculations and material lists for each product. As a result, all information – from technical parameters to quotation data – remains consistent and up to date, regardless of the number of supported technologies. Over time, the system builds an organised knowledge structure about the products, facilitating range development and training of new employees.

Stolcad^® Professional enables the design of window coverings with completely different constructions. Within the same interface, one can prepare a cassette blind, an unusually shaped pleated blind, a horizontal venetian blind or a double-sided vertical. The software automatically recognises the type of selected technology and assigns the appropriate parameters – from fabric type, through guide systems, to control methods. This allows the designer to focus on product configuration rather than adjusting technical settings.

Each type of covering is based on a dedicated technological template that defines the relationships between components and the method of calculating profile lengths, fabric dimensions and the quantity of mounting elements. The software automatically applies the correct rules for blinds, pleats, venetian blinds or verticals, ensuring that every design is created in accordance with the established technology. Such a structure maintains consistency and order even with a very broad product range.

In window covering manufacturing companies, the costing stage often consumes the most time – especially when each product type requires separate calculations. Stolcad^® Professional creates a direct link between the design and the quotation, automatically calculating material values and labour based on technological data. The quotation is generated alongside the design and does not require transferring data to spreadsheets or performing any additional calculations.

Every quotation produced in Stolcad^® Professional reflects the actual product parameters and remains consistent with the technical documentation. All elements of the costing – from component lists to material and labour costs – are generated from a single data set. The window coverings software ensures consistency between design, calculation and quotation. For the manufacturer, this means a predictable process, shorter working time and guaranteed repeatability.

As the product range expands, the number of products, variants and individual configurations increases. What could initially be managed manually eventually requires a professional tool. Stolcad^® Professional ensures order is maintained even when the range expands or changes. All technological and commercial data are stored in one place and linked to specific products, allowing easy updates and reuse.

New models of coverings can be added by expanding existing technological templates or by extending the component database. The software preserves structural consistency and data standards, ensuring that range expansion does not disrupt established processes. For the manufacturer, this enables smooth product development while maintaining organisational order and operational stability. In this way, the software grows alongside the company, enabling rapid response to change.
