Review and approval processes are the bane of many packaging leaders’ existences. They’re time consuming, confusing, and error prone. How do you manage feedback and furthermore, how do you make the process more efficient?
It's easy to get lost in the process without a system in place to manage your team's projects, approvals, and artwork. Reduced visibility of the artwork workflow significantly slows productivity and makes it harder for team members to access what they need, when they need it.
Processes that are inefficient, manual-intensive, and time-consuming lead to increased packaging error rates and recalls. There’s no digital solution, so you rely on manual data entry to complete tasks.
The more SKUs you have, the more content you need. Whether you’re creating content for new product sizes, labels, languages, IFUs, leaflets, physical product packaging, or virtual images, there will always be something to update. It’s difficult to keep track of content and ensure its correct.
