Case Study: Reframe Systems Builds Homes 2.5x Faster with Tulip

Reframe Systems Builds Homes 2.5x Faster with Tulip

Reframe Systems, a construction company reinventing homebuilding with advanced prefabrication, needed a digital backbone to connect design, production, and people in real time. Traditional construction workflows created bottlenecks, manual errors, material waste, and slow iteration cycles, so Reframe turned to Tulip’s frontline operations platform to digitize its factory floor and support more agile, data-driven manufacturing.

With Tulip, Reframe built dynamic digital work instructions, integrated CAD data from Onshape, automated cut lists and labeling, and connected operators through real-time Slack communication and QR code scanning. Tulip also extended to mobile devices for on-site assembly, helping Reframe compress homebuilding timelines from 6–18 months to 3–4 months of factory production plus 1 month of on-site assembly, while reducing waste, lowering errors, and enabling faster iteration across teams.
