Case Study: Winnebago Industries speeds parts catalog production with Cortona3D RapidAuthor

Cortona3D enables Winnebago Industries to take their 3D parts catalogs online

Winnebago Industries, a leading US manufacturer of recreational vehicles, faced challenges with an inefficient and costly parts identification and ordering process that relied on time-consuming 2D paper-based catalogs. They sought a solution to help their global dealer network easily find and order the correct parts, aiming to save time and money on catalog production. They turned to the vendor Cortona3D and its RapidAuthor software suite to address this.

Cortona3D implemented its RapidAuthor solution to create an online, interactive 3D parts catalog system called Winnebago Industries Interactive Parts (WIP). This allowed users to visually identify parts, which streamlined the ordering process. The results were significant, with Cortona3D enabling Winnebago to reduce parts catalog production time by 33% and lower manpower requirements by 40% in the second year, achieving substantial cost savings by reusing existing 3D geometry.
