Calia Italia, a leading Italian sofas producer, can deliver products one week faster thanks to 3CAD. This improved their sales to production lead time by 25% and enables them to provide customisable products to customers in less time.
The founder of Calia Italia Liborio Vincenzo Calia, was born in Matera in 1926. At a very young age, he attended an artisan workshop where he learned how to make wooden objects of all kinds, from the indispensable tools in everyday life to real works that make the home more beautiful. In 1965 he began to focus more and more on a single element, designed to make people feel good: the upholstered furniture.
Since then Calia Italia has been creating sofas of accessible and democratic design, made with care and attention from southern Italy to the whole world. Thanks to the work of over 1,500 people, Calia Italia produces more than 1,000 seats every day, with over 50 new models every year, in 40 different leather and fabric coverings, with more than 400 color variations. From one of the largest fully automated warehouses in Europe, the comfort designed and built in Matera now reaches over 80 countries.
Why change was needed
The challenge at Bellmont was to create a seamless flow from the design phase to the manufacturing process.
A key requirement was to integrate the design software with the manufacturing and management tool to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and customer experience in cabinet production.
How change happened
Bellmont's integration of Design Live with Insight transformed their manufacturing process.
By seamlessly connecting design to production, the company streamlined operations, reducing manual data entry and ensuring consistent execution of design specifications in manufacturing.
