A fully custom product line was so expensive here with a long lead time that we figured there was an opportunity for us.” Ronbow offers what it calls an “end-to-end” solution that allows customers to connect directly with manufacturers, doing away with the middlemen who used to help pass on design files to factories. This is how it works: The startup’s design platform first helps customers figure out the style and size of cabinets they want. Then it feeds that information into the cutting machines equipped with Ronbow’s software, which drives the whole production process. The benefits of data-driven manufacturing are obvious. According to Chen, Ronbow can reduce completion time by 90% to deliver products in as little as three to six weeks and cut costs by 40% compared to the traditional, manual practice. Ronbow is projecting revenue of more than $10 million this year, and aims to open 10 showrooms. Most of its existing user base of about 1,000 customers are in California, ranging from middle-class homeowners, professionals like real-estate agents and designers, as well as commercial clients like hotels and developers. It aims to operate 30 showrooms by 2024, when it expects to see annual revenue of $50 million to $60 million.
