Tacchificio Villa Cortese begins its digital transformation journey with NetSuite
Guided by Air Reply, the company embarks on a path of innovation that blends the artisanal excellence of Made in Italy with technological evolution.
NetSuite has proven to be not only a process optimization platform, but also a solid foundation for future growth, prepared to support the company through upcoming market evolutions.
The scenario
Founded in 1961, Tacchificio Villa Cortese is a key partner to some of the most prestigious international fashion houses. Specializing in the production of heels and components for footwear, the company represents the excellence of Made in Italy craftsmanship, where artisanal mastery meets the ability to innovate.
In an increasingly competitive market, characterized by customized requests, short product life cycles, and reduced time-to-market, the company recognized the need to modernize its management system and business processes to better support its growth.
The expansion of collaborations with international brands, together with rising production volumes, made a more integrated and transparent information management essential, enabling faster decision-making based on reliable, real-time data.

The challenge
The company was operating within a fragmented digital ecosystem, based on heterogeneous and unconnected tools. This setup limited operational efficiency, generating redundancies, slowing down information sharing and making planning more complex.
Tacchificio Villa Cortese therefore needed:
a single, scalable management system
standardized and automated processes
real-time visibility into production data, inventory, and costs
tools to improve internal collaboration and responsiveness to market demands

support for a flexible and dynamic supply chain
The results
Thanks to Air Reply's support and expertise, the implementation had an immediate impact on business efficiency, resulting in:
