Challenge	Korsö Båt, a family-run boatbuilding company, wanted to leverage its extensive boatbuilding knowledge and expertise with the proper software tools. The company faced stiff competition and its biggest challenge was to combine utility and good looks as every customer wanted to have the best boat. The company relied on its extensive knowledge and experience gained through years of designing boats. However, it needed a technology solution that could help it meet customer demands and stay ahead of the competition. Read More
About Customer	Korsö Båt Ltd. is a family-run business that designs and builds motor boats as well as boat interiors for both motor and sail boats. The company was founded over 30 years ago by Hjörvald Sundkvist and has gradually transformed into one of Finland’s most proficient design houses. A design subcontractor to some of Finland’s leading motor and sailboat builders, Korsö Båt still faces some stiff competition. The company is known for its extensive knowledge and experience gained through years of designing boats. In Korsö Båt’s woodworking department engineers also produce handmade plugs or prototypes for fiberglass molds. Read More
Solution	Korsö Båt adopted Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE technology for boat design. The company chose CATIA, part of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, for the design of its leisure boats in 2010. The technology allowed the company to increase its design capacity, confirming its reputation as a highly-skilled design house whose boats combine traditional craftsmanship and modern 3D technology. Korsö Båt uses CATIA to design almost all of its boat parts and to make changes rapidly. The technology also allows the company to automatically update an entire design when modifications are made, saving significant design time and boosting the company's design capabilities.
