In luxury goods, launch dates don’t move

A late movement, short-shipped stones, a case held at inspection — in luxury goods manufacturing, one missing component stops a collection faster than your teams can respond. Pelico surfaces the impact early and coordinates the recovery, so your launches hold.

Pelico runs inside renowned watchmaking and jewelry houses, where every piece ships against a launch date. Names withheld for confidentiality.

Launches on time, fewer missing components, live in 12 weeks

Past Pelico deployments have delivered:

On-time delivery

+15%

Collections delivered on time more consistently, through earlier detection

Part shortages

-37%

Fewer finished pieces waiting on one component

Productivity

+30%

Less time chasing components, faster calls on what goes to the workshop next

We have far fewer missing parts, and where we do have missing parts it is much more relaxed to handle. I didn't expect that my team and I could ever really have time to take care of other topics.

The execution gap

Why luxury launches slip when every team is doing its job

In luxury manufacturing, the collection plan and what the ateliers can actually finish are two different things, and the distance between them is too wide to close with spreadsheets and heroics. That distance is the execution gap: plans are built in systems that assume stability, and executed in conditions that offer none.

Nobody sees which pieces a late component holds

A late movement or a short delivery of stones runs through every reference and finished piece that depends on it. The full exposure only shows once the launch date is close.

Planning, procurement, and quality each see a different collection

Each team spots the same delay in its own system, at a different moment. A piece held at inspection waits while the components around it sit ready.

Priority calls come after boutiques start asking

Which reference to prioritize, which region to serve first, which piece to rework: those calls come once the delay is visible to clients. By then the launch has slipped.

How Pelico orchestrates luxury goods manufacturing

Pelico is the Manufacturing Orchestration Platform that closes the execution gap. It reads what's actually happening across suppliers, ateliers, and quality, traces where a missing component lands, and coordinates the response while the launch can still hold.

Every team sees which pieces a component holds up

Pelico connects ERP, supplier portals, quality records, and workshop data into one picture. When a movement or a stone runs late, it traces the delay to every work order, reference, and client commitment it affects, so material coverage holds for final assembly.

Quality holds cleared before they block a launch

A piece waiting on inspection can hold back an order that is otherwise ready. Pelico flags the hold the moment it appears, and planning, procurement, and quality work it in the same place. Specialized AI agents handle the follow-ups while people make the calls.

Leaders choose which launches to protect

Pelico rolls risk up by collection, region, and supplier, so leaders see which launches and client commitments are exposed, and why. They decide early, and release working capital tied up in high-value WIP.

FAQ

About 12 weeks from kickoff to daily use by planners and workshop teams. Pelico connects to the ERP and existing systems without replacing them, and needs about 20 hours in total from IT.

Inventory piles up behind shortages. Finished pieces and high-value components sit in WIP waiting for the one part that’s missing, while safety stock gets bought against the wrong items. When teams can see which component is holding which piece, they can clear aged work orders and put working capital back where it covers the build.

By seeing early which pieces and collections each late component holds back. Pelico traces the delay to every reference and launch it affects, so teams can move components from a less urgent reference, resequence the workshop, or warn boutiques early, while the date can still hold.

Every reference has its own mix of components, and there’s no volume to absorb a late part. A watch can carry anywhere from 60 to several hundred components across several BOM levels, often from a handful of specialist suppliers, and one missing part holds back the finished piece. Pelico maps those dependencies and shows which pieces each late component holds back, and it runs today in watchmaking and jewelry houses.
