TRIMIT supports Customization and Efficiency with Over 10 Billion Configurations

For nearly three decades going onwards, Montana Furniture, a renowned Danish quality furniture manufacturer, has relied on TRIMIT to support their intricate and highly customizable production processes.

As a company especially known for its modular and colorful shelving systems, Montana Furniture offers over 10 billion different configuration options to its customers across Europe, Asia, and the USA.

This complexity demands a robust and agile IT system, and TRIMIT has proven to be the perfect partner in enabling Montana to streamline their operations and maintain their high standards of quality.

TRIMIT as Montana Furniture’s Central Nervous System

Unlike standard solutions within Microsoft Business Central (BC), which are not equipped to handle such an immense number of variants, TRIMIT's unique capabilities in variant management make it an unparalleled product in the market.

Joakim Lassen, CEO of Montana Furniture, encapsulates the importance of their IT system by comparing it to the company’s central nervous system:

Montana Furniture is a complicated system in the sense that we have over 10 billion different configuration options, so it’s the IT system that generates all the different variants,

Søren Aggerbeck, Finance Business Partner at Montana Furniture, emphasizes the significance of TRIMIT’s variant management, which is crucial for handling their vast product range:

“What’s strong about using TRIMIT for us is that we don’t need so many item numbers, but we can have billions of variants, and at the same time, we can produce them. That’s crucial for us.”

Without a system like TRIMIT in place, managing these countless variations would be an insurmountable task. Therefore, TRIMIT’s ability to manage this level of complexity is a game-changer for Montana Furniture.


Flexibility and Precision are Key

At the core of Montana Furniture’s production lies the need for flexibility and precision, which is where TRIMIT truly shines.

Kim Torgaard Jensen, IT Manager, highlights how TRIMIT’s digital solutions have transformed their production processes:

"Back in the days, everything was delivered physically. Now, we’ve moved to a more streamlined production by saying: Alright, we’ll digitize it...We get all our assembly instructions shown. We’re an order-producing company, so when we get an order, it’s these detailed instructions that really matter. And that’s what TRIMIT delivers to us every single day.”

Beyond digitization, Montana Furniture’s reliance on TRIMIT extends to their integration with external companies. Jensen emphasizes:

“When it comes to integration and interaction with external companies TRIMIT is the least of our concerns. It’s a good and stable system and it’s agile. We can basically throw any challenges at it, and then it’s just a phone call away, and TRIMIT is ready to help us.”

This agility allows Montana Furniture to meet the demands of various markets, seamlessly integrating with other IT systems used by their customers.

Extensive industry knowledge makes a difference

From a financial and operational perspective, TRIMIT's value is equally profound. As Aggerbeck points out, TRIMIT enables Montana Furniture to manage their production without the need for excessive item numbers, despite the billions of possible variants.

People in production are really happy with TRIMIT. The system is tightly integrated with our machine production, and that means we have an efficient and streamlined way to produce daily,

The relationship between Montana Furniture and TRIMIT spans nearly 30 years, and the strength of this collaboration is rooted in TRIMIT’s deep industry knowledge and understanding of Montana’s unique needs.
Søren Aggerbeck reflects: “They understand how we want to work and produce, and that just makes TRIMIT’s solutions work extremely well for us as a furniture brand.
What truly sets the TRIMIT-Montana Furniture partnership apart is the deep understanding that TRIMIT has developed of Montana’s business and the furniture industry as a whole:

“We have good consultants. They understand how to get into the mindset of the furniture industry, and in that way, they can help us reach our goals,” Kim Torgaard Jensen concludes.


In a business where customization is key, Montana Furniture’s partnership with TRIMIT has been nothing short of transformative.

With TRIMIT’s agile and dependable solutions, Montana Furniture continues to lead the way in the furniture industry, delivering tailor-made products to customers around the world with efficiency and precision.
