The Challenge
Provider of small-scale, linear lighting solutions to illuminate architectural wall and ceiling coves, showcases, cabinets, kitchens, casework, exterior building facades, and signage. Our main focus is low-voltage linear accent and display lighting systems. Roughly 30 percent of sales must come from new products. We needed a faster way to bring new products to market.
The Solution
AutoCAD-based products were more time consuming and less intuitive to use. It was easy to transition from AutoCAD to SolidWorks. We can also use Photoworks images in Catalog Literature, saving on photography costs.
