By integrating Design Live with Insight ERP, Bellmont created a seamless workflow from design to delivery.
Real-time automation, RFID tracking, and optimized CNC integration allowed Bellmont to reduce manual processes, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver high-quality, personalized furniture faster.
Why change was needed
As a premium manufacturer of custom cabinetry, Bellmont faced increasing demand for highly personalized products. Their existing systems struggled to keep up with the complexity of modern woodworking ERP requirements, leading to several challenges:
- Manual order entry: High volumes of custom orders consumed resources and increased the risk of errors.
- Disconnected processes: A lack of integration between design, order processing, and production slowed operations.
- Inefficient inventory management: Manually tracking components created bottlenecks and operational inefficiencies.
- Customer demands for speed and accuracy: The need for quicker, more accurate production challenged Bellmont’s legacy workflows.
How change happened
To overcome these challenges, Bellmont implemented Cyncly’s Insight ERP and Design Live solutions, creating an integrated ecosystem that connected design, order processing, and manufacturing.
With Design Live, Bellmont’s dealers could configure and visualize custom cabinets, ensuring that customers saw exactly what they were ordering. This data flowed seamlessly into Insight ERP, which automated production processes and ensured consistency between the design phase and manufacturing execution.
Key components of the solution included:
- Automated Visual Order Configuration Flow: Orders placed via Design Live were automatically validated and flagged for issues, significantly reducing manual checks and errors.
- Gen Post CNC Integration: A single CNC program streamlined machine operations, reducing paperwork and ensuring machine-specific tasks were performed accurately.
- RFID Asset Management: RFID tags tracked every component from production to shipment, eliminating manual scans and improving data accuracy.
- Just-in-Sequence Inventory Management: Insight optimized stock levels, ensuring that materials were replenished precisely when needed.
This seamless integration of tools enabled Bellmont to streamline their operations while maintaining their commitment to customization and quality.
