Case Study: Hewe Kitchens achieves streamlined production and faster factory flow with Microvellum Software

Hewe Kitchens - Customer Case Study

Hewe Kitchens, an 18-person custom kitchen and furniture manufacturer on Auckland’s North Shore, faced rising complexity as it moved from panel saw production to CNC machining and needed to streamline production flow and improve communications with external designers. After finding the CNC supplier’s software insufficient, Hewe Kitchens chose the AutoCAD-based Microvellum Software to integrate design, detailing and production planning more directly into their workflow.

By implementing Microvellum Software, Hewe Kitchens created a seamless path from architect/designer drawings to CNC production, building and maintaining its own product library with support from Microvellum’s 24-hour help channels and online community. The result has been “greater efficiencies than expected”: fewer errors, a much quicker factory flow, faster responses from support (users report practical answers within a day), and the ability to shift staff from the shop floor into office roles with a dedicated Microvellum engineer to drive further improvements.
