Integration

For example , if a specific product asset or symbol must be replaced or updated at short notice , users can tap into the ‘ Where Used ’ functionality within a fully integrated management solution to identify every instance of the existing asset actively being used worldwide – and effortlessly make a bulk update in turn . No manual searching of data siloes , no piecemeal updates across multiple teams – this is all easily accessible and actionable in a ‘ single source of truth ’.
The benefits of integration are all encompassing
This unlocks powerful end-to-end audit and version control capabilities – allowing any users with relevant permissions to make changes and flag comments in a clear , actionable format . By integrating a solution with further powerful features , such as automated artwork generation , businesses can significantly reduce the risk of human error in asset creation , updating and positioning .
For artwork and label management solutions , a cloud-based end-to-end platform is an ideal candidate focus for any integrationminded business – providing a standard set of APIs out the box as a tried-and-tested ‘ blueprint ’ to follow during implementation .
From a security perspective , shifting to a single artwork and label management platform also brings fresh benefits – with a single sign-on and corporate login enhancing system security , user management and data protection .
The race to digital transformation is on – keep pace with innovative rivals
The ability of integration to ensure enduser safety in highly regulated industries , and reduce artwork and labelling errors is immense . From distributing new products to exploring new geographies , businesses can be agile , adaptable and resilient with integration providing a robust digital backbone . With supply chain disruption set to continue , there ’ s no time like the present to assess legacy IT stacks and equipment for either heavy integration , or replacement with modern alternatives . ■
