Case Study: Kraken Robotics achieves higher quality and less process with CoLab Software

Kraken Robotics Leads in Quality Through Design Review Efficiency

Kraken Robotics, a global leader in advanced marine technologies, needed a faster, more reliable way to run design reviews as it expanded its product lines and global teams. Instead of relying on screenshots, spreadsheets, emails, and PDFs, the company wanted a central, collaborative process that would reduce review steps, keep teams aligned on the latest revisions, and support its drive toward higher quality and ISO 9001 readiness.

With CoLab Software, Kraken Robotics implemented a centralized design review workflow integrated with SolidWorks and PDM, enabling 3D reviews, revision control, task tracking, controlled file sharing, and real-time or asynchronous collaboration. CoLab Software helped Kraken cut review steps by 20-25%, improve efficiency, reduce the risk of outdated files reaching production, and automatically build the documentation and traceability needed for quality and certification goals.
