Case Study: Alessi achieves global project management control and real-time visibility with Aras Corporation

Handling Global Project Management with Style, Ease & Aras PLM

Alessi, the renowned Italian design-driven manufacturer of housewares founded in 1921, manages a complex global product portfolio—about 3,000 products across 1,500 projects with 40,000 parts, 34,000 CAD files and 7,000 documents. After outgrowing its legacy PDM system, Alessi faced urgent project-management and collaboration challenges: product data was fragmented across ad-hoc tools and shared folders, making it hard to coordinate multidisciplinary teams and meet fast multi-season retail timelines.

Alessi implemented Aras Innovator, led by Focus PLM, to create a single, secure repository with enterprise project management, real-time reporting and integrations to CAD systems and SAP. The seamless deployment centralized BOMs, parts, CAD files and documents, improved productivity and efficiency across development, and gave Alessi the control and visibility needed to assess performance and make faster, informed business decisions.
