Case Study: Ferndale Furniture achieves 30–35% productivity improvement and reduced errors with Microvellum Software

Ferndale Furniture - Customer Case Study

Ferndale Furniture, a 30‑year New Zealand maker of cabinetry, joinery and custom furniture, was juggling multiple design and manufacturing applications and needed a better software strategy when upgrading its equipment. Seeking a significant productivity gain to match new machinery, Ferndale evaluated options and selected Microvellum Software to streamline design-to-production workflows.

Microvellum Software was implemented across Ferndale’s CNC processes (initially tied to a pod & rail machine, then paired with a slat‑bed router), enabling working 3D models, tighter design checks and fewer production changes. With Microvellum Software’s guidance and an experienced operator on staff, Ferndale cut human error in cutting and boosted assembly‑line productivity by about 30–35% (exceeding the 25% target), delivering measurable bottom‑line improvements.
