Case Study: Viecelli Móveis Ltda achieves 50% faster time-to-market and 20% lower development costs with SOLIDWORKS

Accelerating custom business furniture development with SOLIDWORKS

Viecelli Móveis Ltda, Brazil’s leading custom furniture and merchandising-display manufacturer, needed to dramatically speed development of custom furniture and displays while improving quality and reducing costs. To meet faster delivery expectations and move toward a 3D model‑based definition (MBD) workflow, the company selected SolidWorks, standardizing on SolidWorks Professional design software and planning integration with its ERP.

Using SolidWorks Professional along with the open SolidWorks API and SolidWorks eDrawings to integrate 3D design data into its ERP, Viecelli automated BOM extraction, sheet‑metal bending and fabrication, and MBD-driven production. The SolidWorks-based solution cut time‑to‑market by 50%, shortened design cycles by 30%, reduced scrap and rework by 50% and lowered development costs by 20%, enabling full-store projects to be delivered in about 10–15 days and improving mobile access to design data.
