Reduce costs
We are able to significantly reduce the number of revision cycles needed to go from a draft to an approved artwork. Every revision cycle removed, results in lower costs and faster turnaround time. Just streamlining artwork approvals may reduce the process by 70% or more. For example, in a 16 day cycle that’s saving over 11 days with all the associated opportunity cost created.

Predictability enables more sales
By tracking each artwork project we are able to ensure any potential delays are highlighted much earlier, allowing project managers to take corrective action to ensure delivery deadlines are met. Print usually supports products or services which depend on a timely, predictable delivery. With packaging for example, no packaging means no product on shelf! Imagine a retailer with 300 stores, 12 packaged items at £6.75 in each store. 1 day’s lost revenue could be as much as £24,300, plus fines passed back to the manufacturer. This is in addition to the cost of the opportunity time needed to make up for this loss!

Greater productivity through better visibility
Today many organisations rely on people 'knowing' what has to be done and by when. For routine processes such as artwork approval, the system proactively informs you of the progress and status of tasks. This provides people with time to focus on their core tasks and letting the system manage the mundane process activities. This changes a reactive process into a proactive managed process with greater predictability. Every lost hour is 2 hours opportunity cost, because it’s the loss of that hour plus what you could have done instead. What’s an hour of your companies time worth?

Environmentally friendly proofing
The print and graphics industry, alongside many other industries is under pressure to reduce waste. By using our virtual proofing technology Viewit, you are reducing the cost of couriers, as well as wasted paper and ink for a great percentage of proofs. Consider that the industry average is around 6 proof revision cycles for content and 2 cycles for contract proofing. Each of these requiring an amount of inkjet print outs and courier delivery. Using virtual proofing can save tonnes of ink, paper and fuel waste.
