Case Study: Signature Seating achieves 40% faster time to market with Lectra's DesignConcept

Signature Seating Gains A Competitive Edge In The Fast-Paced Marine Furniture Market

Signature Seating, a U.S. marine furniture manufacturer serving the pontoon-boat market, needed to shorten engineering lead times and lower costs without sacrificing quality or design. Facing faster industry timelines and rising competition, the company sought to move from labor-intensive manual processes to a digital system for design, patterning and prototyping.

Building on a long-standing relationship with Lectra, Signature Seating implemented Lectra’s DesignConcept to digitize 2D/3D design and pattern workflows. The change cut pattern development from three weeks to three days, consolidated suppliers to one, increased overall shop speed by 40%, enabled virtual prototypes and better archives, and delivered faster time to market with improved accuracy and quality.
