ParaSol R&R - Roller Shades, Screens and Romans Made Easy

ParaSol R&R is the roller blinds and romans solution from Aeronaut's ParaSol suite of programs. Used by hundreds of blind makers, ParaSol R&R has had over 25 years of development with their industry focussed suggestions. It's the most fully featured and easy to use software for window furnishings.

ParaSol R&R is a rapid pattern design program for window furnishings. It sits between your factory order management system and Aeronaut's Tangent cutter control software. Parasol makes designing almost any window furnishing order into a 20 second process from order entry to ready to cut.

Automatic Data Entry (ADE). ParaSol imports a list of orders exported from your order management software, processes them automatically in the background and sends them to Tangent, which automatically puts them on the right fabric with the correct cutter settings, ready to be cut. There's not much more for an operator to do other than press the cut button.

Manual Data Entry. Of course you can run ParaSol R&R with manual data entry and many businesses do. Just select the fabric, the width and drop, the design and the mechanism and ParaSol does the rest.

Deductions and additions are all handled automatically. Selecting the fabric will also trigger cut, crease and marking settings in Tangent. 

Productivity is forefront. In fact, most Aeronaut customers quietly cut more than twice the number of skins that competitors produce on other machinery.

ParaSol works the way you do. You can enter one order at a time, or all the orders you have on hand… export and nest them to calculate the fabric requirements. 

Orders can be exported one by one or as a list with multiple fabrics where Tangent will sort the patterns into fabric queues.

If someone has already entered the essential data - width, drop, design, fabric etc. you don't want to enter it again manually. With Automatic Data Entry (ADE) the process of developing a pattern is fully automatic. An order list sent from your factory management software will be opened by ParaSol to generate an entire list of designs ready to export to Tangent and cut.

ParaSol R&R can produce patterns in an instant for almost all interior and exterior shade products… roller, roman, mesh, screen, ziptrack, hurricane screens, awnings and pelmets. We've got you covered.

Complex designs are stored as single text files so updating designs is as easy as putting the new file in a folder.

Consistent products mean consistent productivity and profitability.

The roller, motor, fixing methods, pin width deductions etc. are all saved in ParaSol's style database. Selecting a style will automatically make all the necessary changes to the measured size to produce reliably consistent patterns across your whole product range.

Of course styles can be dynamically overridden in ParaSol for special orders.

ParaSol R&R has a fabric database which can be edited directly in ParaSol or imported as a CSV file from your order management system. Fabric widths, fabric orientation rules, lining fabrics, batten allowances, creasing or marking, cut speed and pressure… all these details are saved in with the fabric so selecting one, sets everything right down to when it's cut.

ParaSol has seen a lot of fashions come and go in window furnishings over the years. There's always a customer wanting something different, even if it's what they bought 30 years ago.

WIth ParaSol's design file database, there's no need have sales people scratching their heads about anything, old or new, because ParaSol can do them both with ease.
