STAKEHOLDERS, REGIONS AND BRANDS
Across 32 languages, multiple brands and 90 approvers Avon need to ensure their solution gives them visibility, a seamless approval process, speed and flexibility.
Visual Approval manages 1400 approvals per month, has reduced the approval process and delivery of files to printer by 3 months with a 15% reduction on costs.
Visual approval brings users across Europe together and enables them to simultaneously amend and approve assets from one central location.
VA allows faster turnaround, greater accuracy and global real time visibility.
Ornua needed to replace their existing paper system, to speed up the approval of artwork files and allow the team the ability to view hi resolution production PDF files.
Visual Approval allows multiple stakeholders at Ornua the facility to check and approve files 24/7 in parallel. The user has the ability to view hi resolution print ready files, compare versions, measure the dimensions of key objects, read barcodes and view separations.
Real time reporting across all channels and full project visibility allows for a quicker, seamless approval process.
‘During covid and home working VA has proved invaluable to us as a business. Brexit alterations meant an increase in artwork approvals, a total of 1273 versions reviewed. A central approved cutter library ensures design agency’s access to approved & consistent requirements. In our old paper based approval system we would have consumed 3800 pieces of paper and coloured ink in the last year.‘
