From spec to shipment.

Give Nia a buyer's spec sheet. She drafts the pattern, grades every size, shows a 3D sample in your fabric, lays the marker for the factory's own table and sends cut-ready files. Then she follows the order until it ships.

How it works

One record follows the style from the spec to the carton.

The pattern master stays in charge. Nia's patterns open in your own CAD for any change, and she learns those changes for the next style.

  1. 01Spec

    Reads the spec and checks it

    Excel, PDF, or a phone photo of the size chart. Nia reads every point of measure and flags mistakes before anything is cut.

  2. 02Pattern

    Drafts the pattern and grades it

    She drafts each style herself, from your measurements, then grades it to every size and measures every size again against your tolerances.

  3. 033D

    Shows a 3D sample first

    A 3D sample in your own fabric print, so the style is approved before the first physical sample round.

  4. 04Marker

    Lays the marker and plans the cut

    Planned for the factory's table length, the fabric width that actually arrived and its shrinkage. 1,000 shirts become 6 lays for an 8 m table.

    Cut plan for the factory table: five lays, 40 plies each, with lengths and efficiency
  5. 05Factory

    Sends files the machines already read

    Pattern packs for Richpeace, Gerber and Lectra, plus plotter and cutter files. Every version is numbered. Old versions are marked DO NOT CUT on the factory's phone.

  6. 06Shipment

    Follows production every day

    Cut, stitched, washed, finished, packed. Supervisors speak the numbers in Hindi or English, or photograph the register. Approvals, holds, inspections and packing lists stay with the order.

Founder

“After 25 years in apparel and 6 at Oracle, I built Nia.”

Sumit Varma · Founder, Raipid

Sumit has worked in apparel for more than 25 years, and spent 6 years building enterprise software at Oracle in the USA.

He built Nia so that a brand's design team and its factory work from the same record: the same spec, the same pattern version, the same numbers. Nia runs on one office PC with local AI, so there is no per-seat CAD licence and designs stay in India.

Raipid is based in Bengaluru.
