Keystone Dental Group (KDG), a leading global manufacturer of dental implants with over 4,000 SKUs, partnered with bananaz to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency in a highly competitive market.
With over 4,000 SKUs and a reputation for precision in the dental implant market, Keystone Dental Group (KDG) faced a growing challenge: how to keep up with the relentless pace of product demands without compromising on quality. Every month, the engineering team managed 100+ drawing updates and ECOs, balancing regulatory compliance with aggressive timelines.
The team’s existing processes relied heavily on manual workflows, leading to repeated bottlenecks in approvals and frequent communication breakdowns between global stakeholders. As ECO approvals stretched into weeks and errors slipped through unnoticed, the cost of inefficiencies mounted. A single overlooked mistake in a drawing could disrupt entire production runs, forcing expensive rework and jeopardizing delivery schedules.
“Our engineers were working harder than ever,” said Tal Biton, KDG’s Engineering Lead. “We knew we needed a better way to handle the complexity of our operations.”
When KDG partnered with bananaz, the goal was clear: replace their fragmented workflows with a cohesive, automated system that could handle the demands of a high-stakes industry. bananaz introduced an intuitive platform that transformed the way the engineering team approached their work.
Automated redline markups and error detection tools enabled faster, more accurate reviews, while centralized dashboards provided a single source of truth for all project updates. The platform’s traceability features ensured every change was logged and accounted for, giving the team newfound clarity and confidence in their workflows.
During the initial pilot, bananaz proved its value almost immediately. The platform identified two critical design errors that, if overlooked, would have caused major production issues. These early detections saved KDG an estimated $75,000 and reinforced the importance of a robust validation system.
bananaz improved KDG’s workflows and reshaped their entire approach to engineering challenges by automating tedious tasks and enhancing communication. The platform freed the team to focus on what mattered most: innovation.
Key results included:
Rather than being mired in delays, the team discovered a renewed ability to collaborate effectively and solve problems proactively. bananaz fixed inefficiencies and empowered engineers to approach their work with greater focus and purpose.
“bananaz helped us take control of our processes,” said Tal. “Now, when challenges arise, we’re ready to tackle them head-on.”
Encouraged by the platform’s success, KDG is planning to integrate bananaz more deeply into its operations. Future initiatives include linking the system with their PLM tools to create an end-to-end digital workflow.
Tal sees even greater potential ahead: “We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. bananaz has shown us that the right tools can completely change how we think about engineering and production.”
With bananaz as a partner, KDG is positioned to push the boundaries of efficiency and innovation, delivering high-quality solutions that keep them ahead in a competitive market.
