Configure, design, sell, and manufacture custom products faster
DriveWorks is used by manufacturers in countries all over the world. DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ solutions enable manufacturers to automate complex engineering tasks, maintain quality standards, and deliver customized products efficiently. Marelli use DriveWorks to reduce design time and improve customer experience.
Marelli improve efficiency, save time, and improve overall customer experience
The challenge
Marelli, based in Caxias do Sul, Brazil, specialize in the custom furniture market, providing meeting tables, workstations, fixed and swivel chairs, floor-to-ceiling partitions, sofa enclosures, and armchairs.
They needed a way to improve efficiency, save time, and most importantly, improve their overall customer experience.
The solution
Marelli implemented DriveWorks in the design of their floor-to-ceiling partitions. Before using DriveWorks, the assembly process was done manually in SOLIDWORKS®, and each product had to be developed component by component.
DriveWorks has been implemented to streamline the design workflow and ensure a robust product development process. DriveWorks enables the automation of engineering processes such as design and configuration. Accurate, customized designs are created faster and more efficiently.
DriveWorks has reduced the design error rate and the amount of time spent on repetitive design tasks, enabling Marelli to speed up the process between initial customer requests and final design approval.
This not only improves the overall customer experience but also frees up engineering time. Marelli are now able to dedicate more time to developing new products and speed up product launch timelines.
Summary of benefits achieved:
- 63% reduction in time spent on repetitive tasks
- Engineering time freed up to work on new product development
- Faster product launch timelines
- Reduced design error rate
- Improved customer experience

With the implementation of DriveWorks, we decrease the chance of error and repetitive tasks, and gain in quality and robustness in deliveries.

How DriveWorks makes a difference for other industries
Manufacturers producing custom goods often face common challenges. Complex configurations don’t fit easily into traditional manufacturing processes originally set up for off-the-shelf products. This can lead to bottlenecks, delays, and inefficient processes.
DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ solutions enable custom manufacturers to automate complex engineering design tasks, shorten sales cycles, improve accuracy, and optimize pricing.
