Meet Prophet.
Prophet is Shapeshifter’s optimization platform. It computes markers and cut plans for hundreds of scenarios simultaneously — all the options, all the scenarios, all the time — so the plan you cut is the best one that exists, not the first one that worked.
From upload to cutting floor. The Infinity Engine.
Upload the PO
Size ratios, quantities, CAD files and fabric constraints — uploaded once. That’s the whole job.
Every option, computed
Prophet computes hundreds of marker and cut-plan scenarios simultaneously, for each order — the Marker Multiverse.
Choose what wins
Direct Prophet to what matters today — lowest cost, least fabric, or fastest — and the chosen plan flows to production. Something changes? Prophet recomputes.
Traditional systems make one cut plan. Prophet makes them all.
A planner produces the single plan there’s time for. Prophet’s cloud computes all the scenarios for every style — eliminating the uncertainty in buying and cutting. That’s the difference between digitizing a manual process and eliminating it.
One size does not fit all.
Most software providers provide software, end of story. Shapeshifter does things differently — the added value we deliver comes from customizing and configuring Prophet around your business and its processes.
Effective Automation
Automation configured to your fabrics, your styles and your workflow — so the machine does the work your team shouldn’t.
Simplified User Experience
The best UI is one that doesn’t exist — that’s what real automation is all about.
Easy Onboarding
We configure, integrate and train alongside your team, so going live is a handover — not a disruption.
Prophet is built to do what humans can’t.
Cloud-Based
Prophet runs entirely in the cloud — no on-premise servers, no workstation licences, no capacity ceiling.
Hyper-Automation
Markers and cut plans generated end-to-end with no manual intervention.
Infinity Engine
Prophet’s proprietary optimization core: metaheuristic and genetic algorithms working the geometry of every layout.
Parallel Processing
Hundreds of styles computed at once. The queue behind the CAD workstation, retired.
Unlimited Usage
Run every PO, every restyle, every what-if through Prophet. No per-marker fees, no rationing the engine.
Connectivity
A REST API connects Prophet to your ERP for seamless data flow — while native CAD formats mean no pattern interpretation or misrepresentation.
Cloud native. API connected. Nothing to install.
Secure cloud architecture means there is no hardware to buy and no software to maintain. REST API integration moves orders, markers and plans between Prophet and your ERP seamlessly, and Prophet works in your existing CAD formats.
