Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves a 15% reduction in non-quality costs with CoLab Software

Schneider Electric lowers non-quality costs by 15% with CoLab

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, faced a challenge with its legacy paper-based peer review process for custom power equipment design. This manual system was cumbersome and infeasible for their globally distributed EcoFit Canada team, leading to poor traceability of feedback and collaboration headaches. They partnered with CoLab Software to implement its digital design review solution to modernize this critical process.

By implementing CoLab's cloud-based platform, Schneider Electric digitized and streamlined its design reviews. The solution enabled seamless global collaboration, allowing both internal and external team members to easily view 3D models and provide clear, tracked feedback without needing specialized engineering software. This resulted in a 15% reduction in non-quality costs within the first year, improved traceability, and more efficient review cycles by involving more people in the quality process.
