What Our Customers Think...
The implementation of CAVA at Ford Motor Company started in 2007 and was seamlessly integrated into the global company system of CATIA V5. Today, about 100 CAVA users around the world work with the software for global product management in the US, Brazil, Germany, UK, Turkey, Australia, China and India. It is rolled out in several departments.
In a recent project, we saved close to 1000 design hours versus traditional methodologies in the first year alone thanks to CAVA Vision.
