Tamworth, UK, September 5, 2017 – Industry’s leading provider of artwork management solutions, Kallik, today announced that it has surpassed bold growth targets set for its previous fiscal year with the delivery of its AMS360Print solution into three major new clients, each delivering class leading products into heavily regulated markets. Being leaders in pharmaceutical, medical device and chemicals markets, each has selected Kallik to underpin their roll-out of enterprise wide business transformation projects to reduce time to market, eliminate wastage and increase levels of compliance. Commenting on this achievement, Neil Gleghorn, Kallik’s Founder and CEO stated: “Our success is the result of staying focused on our core markets rather than allowing ourselves to be distracted by short term, less strategic opportunities.” “In delivering products into highly competitive markets, each of these organisations is faced with similar challenges” says Gleghorn. “Whether being a supplier of Pharmaceutical, Medical Device or Petrochemical products, demonstrating full compliance against both global and local legislation, ensuring brand consistency and being protected from the threat of counterfeit activities are all equally important. We are delighted to have been chosen as the vendor to enable each organisation to modernize their labelling processes and to standardize global printed label production across both B2B and B2C markets.”
Kallik’s AMS360Print solution enables organisations to store, index and version control all labelling related content both textural including translations and graphical as unique digital assets, resulting in there only ever being one version of the truth. Once approved, these content assets are infinitely re-usable across all types of media and labelling, whether printed or electronic. Being cloud-based, users and print resources can connect to the system from anywhere in the world, removing the traditional constraints imposed by firewalls and restricted VPN access. This vastly simplifies engagement with internal and external design houses and manufacturing facilities. Organisations seeking to increase their presence in emerging markets by engaging with 3rd party manufacturers and distributors can compromise visibility across the supply chain. Having centralised control of each printed label makes it easier to identify any discrepancies between the quantity of products sold and bulk shipment of materials.
By enabling 3rd parties to print labels directly from the Kallik solution, including serialised identifiers if required, vastly reduces the risk of counterfeit products being sold on to end customers. Gleghorn continues; “As organisations operating in highly regulated industries, all were facing very similar challenges to those experienced by our others prior to adopting our solution. Often, we find multiple instances of Excel spreadsheets distributed via email to capture content which can become uncontrolled or worst still, lost. Ultimately, the final approved version of the artwork can be the PDF created by an external studio that can change significantly from the original content and requirements specified by regulatory. This lack of transparency and traceability can result in a lack of accountability and ultimately risk non-compliance.” Also commenting on these recent successes, Ashley Goldie, Kallik’s Sales and Marketing Director adds “We are delighted to have been selected by such high-profile clients within their industry sectors. This demonstrates clear confidence in our ability to deliver an outstanding level of performance into organisations that define themselves by market leading products and global success.”
