From lead
to completion.

Dash4.ai is the operating system every LEICHT studio runs on. One project, start to finish — the scan, the estimate, the contract, the factory order, the freight and the service call after — each stage handing the next one everything it needs, so nothing is re-entered and nothing is chased.

Lead

The room, scanned.

It begins in the kitchen itself, and anyone can run it — usually the homeowner. The scan shows a designer the layout and structure of the room before any design work starts.

The room, measuredWalk the kitchen with a scanner and the scan becomes a 3D model, which takes the manual labor out of the first step.
Design

See it before it is built.

A VR walkthrough lets clients move through the finished design before anything is manufactured, and photoreal renders show the same kitchen at high quality.

A live walkthroughClients can open drawers and cabinets, turn the lighting on and off, and move through the room at their own pace.

Estimate

Priced before anything is promised.

Finishes, programs and handles are chosen against the model, and the number moves with them in real time.

Estimate agreementEvery finish, program and handle laid out, priced before and after tax.
Agreement

Retainer, contract, order.

The same record carries the design into a signed agreement. One flow bar tells everyone — studio, client, factory — exactly where the project stands.

ContractRetainer, contract, order: one flow, so everyone sees the next step.
Specification

Appliances, selected and approved.

Gaggenau, Miele and the rest are specified against the room they belong to, then approved by the client before anything is committed.

Dash4 appliance selections: Gaggenau coffee machine, combi-steam oven and warming drawer and a Miele dishwasher, each approved with specs, price and quantity
Appliance selectionsSpecs, installation and care documents on every model; price, quantity and promotions on every line; each item tied to its room and its order.
Factory order

Sent to Waldstetten by EDI.

The approved design becomes a cabinet order and goes to the factory electronically. Nobody re-keys a position number, so nobody mistypes one.

Order line items by position number with unit code, handing, description, dimensions, program and finish
EDI orderEvery unit by position: code, handing, size and finish, sent to the factory by EDI.
Production & transit

Tracked from Germany to the door.

Not a status field someone remembers to update — the real position of the real freight, from the build slot in Gügling to the Atlantic crossing to the delivery date.

After handover

Service, scan by scan.

The record does not close on install day. Replacement parts ship UPS straight from Germany, every scan and customs release lands in Dash4, and the client gets the release email in one click.

Chapter 07 — Global Manufacture
Chapter 07Global Manufacture

You plant an olive tree for the generations that come after you.

A LEICHT kitchen is built on that same premise. Every one is designed and manufactured in Waldstetten, Germany — German quality, precise craftsmanship, refined finishes and expressive combinations of material and color — then delivered through twenty-four independent studios across North America and beyond.

Waldstetten, Germany · The LEICHT factory
Chapter 07·BThree pillars of LEICHT technology
01

Manufacturing

The LEICHT production facility in Germany runs cutting-edge machinery that automates ninety-five per cent of the manufacturing process. That investment is what makes strict quality control possible at every stage — not sampled at the end of the line, but held throughout it.

95% automated
Single factory
02

Products

Advanced tooling makes delicate, high-grade fronts possible in materials that resist mass production — aluminium, concrete, glass and porcelain — and produces them with a consistency and efficiency that hand methods cannot hold across a full kitchen.

Aluminium
Concrete
Glass
Porcelain
03

Design

Smart cooktops with built-in memory systems. Invisible induction burners working through stone countertops. The cabinetry is engineered around the current generation of kitchen technology rather than retrofitted to accept it.

Integrated
By design
