How Valia Fashion improved Atelier Julien H's production efficiency in one year

Atelier Julien H has grown from a passion for leather craftsmanship into a thriving workshop of dedicated artisans. In 2018, a new chapter began with the launch of a textile workshop led by Kelly Hanchir, bringing together skilled craftspeople who share a passion for beautiful fabrics such as cotton, linen, and wool. 

Proudly Made in France, Atelier Julien H unites leather and textile craftsmanship to create authentic, high-quality products that celebrate heritage, creativity, and artisanal excellence.
 

For apparel manufacturers, improving productivity while maintaining accuracy is a constant challenge. One year after implementing Valia Fashion, our customer Atelier Julien H shares how the solution has transformed daily operations - from production planning to cutting performance and material consumption.

We would not go back to the previous process. We are sticking to Valia Fashion given the time savings and ease of use."

Kelly Hanchir, Head of Production

Before Valia Fashion, launching production required managing multiple spreadsheets and manual steps. Today, teams benefit from a much more streamlined workflow that simplifies production preparation and reduces complexity. According to Atelier Julien H, this increased fluidity has significantly reduced cutting errors while accelerating the entire process. 

The impact goes far beyond operational simplicity. Atelier Julien H reports substantial improvements in both productivity and material efficiency. Cutting operations are faster, office teams spend less time on administrative tasks, and production tracking is more reliable thanks to better visibility across the workshop.
Among the most significant results:

• Up to four times more products cut per day compared to the previous process
• Approximately 10% material savings achieved through optimized marker making
• Enhanced production monitoring 
• Greater efficiency in spread and cut operations
• Increased output without increasing workload

With integrated dashboards and reporting capabilities, production teams now have access to accurate information on material consumption and cutting efficiency. This visibility helps manufacturers monitor performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and maintain control over production costs. 

After a year of use, the verdict is clear. Once teams have adopted Valia Fashion and experienced the time savings, ease of use, and productivity improvements it delivers, returning to previous processes is simply not considered an option. The combination of automation, visibility, and operational performance has become an essential part of their day-to-day production management.
