Case Study: Polaris expands global VA/VE collaboration with CoLab Software

Polaris generates millions in projected savings with CoLab

Polaris, a global powersports manufacturer, faced a challenge in scaling its established Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) program. As the company expanded its engineering and manufacturing footprint globally, its reliance on in-person expert-led workshops became a limitation. They needed a centralized platform to effectively engage remote and global team members across different time zones and to streamline their manual, complex event planning processes.

To solve this, Polaris implemented CoLab Software to host virtual VA/VE events, document ideas directly on 3D models, and automatically calculate projected savings. Using CoLab's platform allowed Polaris to run more productive and faster events, capturing millions of dollars in cost savings from a single event. The solution from CoLab also improved sourcing efficiency and enabled faster alignment on solutions, ultimately helping product teams across the global organization design better products.
