Furniture On Demand by Lectra is the industry’s first end-to-end solution that automates, streamlines and gives full visibility on the entire manufacturing process for unique products and small series. This unique solution is comprised of the Lectra Digital Platform,a cloud-based platform that acts as an interface between the different activities linked to cutting, and Virga, a connected single-ply fabric cutting line.
Make on demand work for your business
Go from order to cutting in minutes
Save time by only having to set up product catalog, fabric handling requirements and production rules once. Then go from order reception to cut without any manual intervention. This makes your process flow smarter and more secured.
Lectra Digital Platform
Lectra Digital Platform is a cloud-based data hub that connects your IT system and the cutting room, ensuring efficient planning, cutting and optimization processes. On the Platform, you will find data (on products, materials and orders), connectors (to ERP systems, MIS, CRM systems) and applications.
Virga single-ply fabric cutting line
Smart and connected to the Lectra Digital Platform, Virga is a complete, high-performance cutting line designed for maximum throughput, data sharing and minimal manual interventions.

“With Furniture on Demand we can nest several different cuts together which enables us to achieve significant annual savings on material. We use around 350,000- 400,000 meters of fabric every year. Reducing fabric waste by even 1% represents enormous savings,”
Today, Zanotta uses the most advanced technology available to ensure the necessary industrialization of the company while preserving the creativity and beauty of its products.
Furniture On Demand has improved all aspects of my work here at the minute in terms of cutting precision and speed. I have greater control now. The actual offloading process is far superior to that of the previous solution. The pattern matching has been very precise and efficient in helping us save fabric.
We wanted to minimize production costs and, at the same time, offer quality products manufactured in fully controlled conditions, with repeatability and full traceability of suppliers and the raw materials used. Lectra made it possible for us.
The native connection between the digital cutting platform and Virga limits the number of markers we need to manage. Operation is very simple, enabling us to improve productivity and minimize errors.

Overcome material constraints and motif management challenges
To produce customized furniture with ease it is important to have the right tools if you seek to gain greater control of your cutting preparation and execution process.
WEBINAR - Rethink furniture production to meet new demand
The Covid-19 crisis and its aftermath have brought into sharp focus the need for a demand-driven, flexible supply chain. Now is the time to rethink your production process.
DesignConcept transforms the way you create, develop, cost and prepare for production. With DesignConcept 3D you can identify the best designs to optimize margins while reacting quickly to demand. DesignConcept 2D then helps you prepare for production with automatically generated technical documentation and pattern fine-tuning.
Formaris lets you quickly develop pattern pieces and production configurations, taking into account specific trim cover and upholstery constraints, whether using fabric or leather. Then, when it comes to marker making, Diamino uses advanced algorithms to generate complicated markers quickly and minimizes fabric waste.
Vector fabric cutting room combines lean-oriented production processes with maximum uptime to deliver high-quality products at a lower cost. Together with Brio and Mosaic, it provides the agility you need —with automated spreading, precise patterned fabric matching, and high-speed cutting—to handle all high-ply cutting jobs with ease.
