The pressure to get products to market quickly and safely has never been greater, and fortunately, the challenges are easier than ever to overcome with the right tools. Artwork and labeling processes are often seen as one of the biggest bottlenecks, with manual processes stretching timelines from days into weeks, or even months, draining resources and leaving businesses vulnerable to risks.
This is where automated artwork management is transforming the game with automated artwork approval and automated labeling workflows. By moving away from manual, error-prone processes and embracing automation, businesses are not only accelerating time-to-market but also improving compliance and ensuring consistency across global operations.
Why Automation is the Future of Artwork and Labeling
Manual artwork and labeling workflows are often riddled with inefficiencies: duplicated work, inconsistent versions, and errors that only come to light during late-stage approvals. These challenges cause delays, rework, and can even result in recalls.
Thanks to automation, our customers have seen a 75% reduction in production times and achieved 100% compliance for over five consecutive years. Recent research has also found that companies report cost reductions of 20-50% in the first year of implementing business process automation and workflow automation often delivers a ROI of 30-200% within first year(s).
If those stats aren't enough to convince you, consider a designer taking 30 minutes to create a label at $40 an hour. As a result, 1000 labels would cost $20,000 to produce conventionally. Not only can Automated Artwork Generation save thousands of dollars by producing labels quickly and automatically, it will get it right the first time too.
This is a great advantage when it comes to responding to major regulatory changes, making label changes a much more straight-forward, clean process. Furthermore, this method vastly minimises the risk of recalls, which can incur massive costs in high-stakes industries. In fact, we’ve found that in the case of many of our customers, automation has allowed organisations to reach an average label and artwork generation time of well under 60 seconds.
How automation tackles challenges head-on:
Speed: Automated artwork approval reduces review cycles from weeks to hours. Approvals are streamlined, with the right stakeholders automatically notified and the latest version always front and center.
Accuracy: Automated artwork management removes the risk of human error. Automated artwork comparison tools save hours, or even days, by instantly detecting even the smallest differences between versions.
Global consistency: Automated labeling workflows ensure the same master data is used across all products, markets, and languages, removing discrepancies and safeguarding compliance.
The result? Faster, error-free approvals and a smoother route to market.
Building a Competitive Advantage with Automation
Organizations that adopt automated artwork management and labeling workflows don’t just improve efficiency, they future-proof their operations. By reducing approval times, eliminating errors, and guaranteeing global consistency, they gain a clear competitive edge.
In markets where speed, compliance, and brand reputation are critical, automation isn’t optional. It’s becoming the standard for organizations looking to scale, adapt, and thrive in a digital-first world.
