Case Study: B&B Italia achieves 30% productivity increase and 3% hide reduction with Lectra’s Versalis offline process

B&B Italia continues pioneering with Lectra’s Versalis offline process

B&B Italia, the Italian contemporary furniture maker renowned for design-driven innovation, needed a leaner leather-cutting process to raise productivity, optimize hide consumption and standardize quality while preserving its production flow and brand standards.

Lectra deployed its Versalis offline process—digitizing hides, separating flaw identification from cutting, running nesting and cutting in parallel, and using multi-hide nesting software—delivering a 30% productivity increase, a 3% reduction in hide use, shorter lead times, more reliable performance data and improved quality control and supplier feedback.
