Artwork Approval Manager
 
AMS Artwork Approval ManagerIn today’s fast moving environment, tracking and managing designs and artwork during customer approval is a difficult, time consuming and complex process.
Using the wrong graphic, or a making a simple mistake based on confusing client comments is at best embarrassing, at worse costly.

The responsibility for errors is always "vague" and it is therefore common to see extensive time being wasted chasing approvals as well as ensuring there is some form of audit trail, just in case something goes wrong.

Complexity increases as more people are included in the project. The initial proof you e-mailed to your customer may well be e-mailed to other approvers involved in the project. They all receive a proof, they all make comments and they all send an e-mail back to you. You then have to make sense of them all!

Going through each PDF to collate and cross check the amendments is a laborious and time-consuming task. Multiply this by 3 or 4 amendment cycles and the workload increases proportionally.

Just think how much productive your team could be if you could remove some of these important but onerous tasks.

  • How can you guarantee that you have captured all of the required amendments?

  • How do you efficiently communicate to your creative team the changes required?

  • How does an approver know what comments other approvers have made?

  • How do you know who is holding the approval process up?

Does the approval process really need to be this complicated?

The simple answer is NO!
