Case Study Summary
Vandemoortele is a leading European food group that manufactures and sells high-quality food products. The company was founded in 1899 and is now a family controlled food group with Belgian roots and a European outlook. It occupies a leading position in its two core businesses: ‘Bakery Products’ and ‘Margarines, Culinary Oils & Fats’.
Handling well over a thousand design changes per year in packaging, Vandemoortele needs to be in perfect control of its artwork, data and workflow at all times.
Due to a number of acquisitions of companies and brands throughout the years and with several hundred people involved in the process, artwork approval cycles proved to be a complex environment.
- WebCenter provides a customized and user-friendly system with a uniform, automated and transparent artwork approval cycle.
- Results in shorter production cycles.
