Case Study: Salomon streamlines collaborative product creation with Emersya

Salomon cuts product development time to 18-24 months with Emersya

Salomon, a major outdoor sports equipment manufacturer, faced significant challenges in its product development process. The brand was producing approximately 40,000 physical shoe samples annually for internal reviews and sales presentations, a process that was costly, time-consuming, and environmentally damaging. To address this, Salomon partnered with vendor Emersya to implement its Collaborative Design platform, aiming to streamline workflows, break down internal silos, and drastically reduce physical prototyping.

The solution implemented by Emersya provided an online platform for collaborative 3D product design. This allowed Salomon's teams to create, share, and review digital product variants in real-time, eliminating the need for thousands of physical samples. The results were substantial: Emersya helped Salomon cut sample production from 40,000 to a few thousand per year, reducing water usage by over 360,000 liters and CO2 emissions by 660 tons. The platform also automated data generation for production, accelerated time to market, and enabled the creation of digital marketing assets before physical products were even manufactured.
