DDL (Digital Dry Layout) is an industry-specific platform for the natural stone sector, covering the entire workflow from project planning and slab-based inventory management to quoting, CRM, and B2B commerce — in one integrated system. Available in five languages (EN, DE, FR, IT, PT).
Unlike generic ERP or planning tools, DDL treats every stone slab as a unique object with its own photo, veining pattern, surface finish, and dimensions. Quotes reference specific slabs, reservations happen automatically upon acceptance, and partial acceptances — common in stone projects where designs evolve — are built in.
Core modules: Digital project planning with precise slab positioning and vein matching. Slab-based inventory management with DXF/CAD import, QR codes, and barcode scanning across multiple warehouse locations. Quote-to-order workflow with eight defined phases and automatic slab reservation preventing double-selling. CRM with contact and company management. B2B marketplace for selective catalog sharing between suppliers and buyers. Production tracking with quality control.
Customer reference: Lasa Marmo (South Tyrol) reports 15% higher material yield and 20% cost savings since adopting DDL for slab-based inventory management. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), one of the world's leading architecture firms, uses DDL for natural stone project planning.
