How Kallik Works

Enterprise labeling and artwork management software

Kallik Veraciti™ is a validated, cloud-native platform that manages the complete lifecycle of every label and artwork, from the first brief to the label on the product. Built for regulated industries, with one set of approved content and one audit trail.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Kallik Veraciti™ system, end to end

Work starts in the systems you already run, such as PLM and ERP. Content is assembled from pre-approved building blocks, artwork is created and approved, and the same approved file goes to your factory printers, pre-press suppliers and digital channels.

STEP 01
Connect

Two-way integration with PLM, PDM, ERP, RIM and MES. Projects start where your product data already lives.

STEP 02
Onboard

AToM uses AI to read your legacy artwork and data, classify the content and propose your phrase library. Your team approves every mapping.

STEP 03
Brief and template

A brief is raised in Veraciti™ or pushed in from PLM. Templates are built in Cloud Designer with smart content containers.

STEP 04
Assemble content

The Rules Engine adds the regulatory phrases and symbols each market needs. Content is signed off before any artwork exists.

STEP 05
Create

Artwork is generated automatically from approved content, or streamed into Adobe InDesign or Illustrator by your designers.

STEP 06
Review and approve

Mark up on the artwork, compare versions automatically, and sign off with a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant e-signature.

STEP 07
Print and publish

Factory printing, print file distribution, pre-press and e-labeling, all from the current approved version.

ONGOING
Change and maintain

'Where Used' finds every artwork a change affects, so updates go through without starting again.

IN DETAIL

The features that make it work

AI label and artwork onboarding with AToM

AToM, Kallik's Assisted Tool of Migration, uses AI to bring your existing labels and artwork into Veraciti™. It reads legacy artwork, documents and data, extracts and classifies the content, identifies duplicate phrases and symbols, and proposes your controlled phrase library.

Migration is the hardest part of any labeling program, so AI does the heavy lifting and your team approves every mapping before it becomes live content.

When Kenvue separated from Johnson & Johnson, AToM helped transform more than 20,000 artworks, and packaging changes became 95% faster by reusing existing content. Read the Kenvue case study →

Where Used

'Where Used' regulatory change management

'Where Used' shows every artwork and label that a phrase, symbol or image appears on, across every brand, market and site. When a regulation changes, you make the change once and push it through every affected artwork under one controlled approval.

In a traditional process, the slow and risky part is working out which artworks are affected, long before anyone opens a design file.

"Kallik's 'Where Used' function enables us to search and locate artwork files, logos and phrases impacted by regulatory changes at the touch of a button."

Cloud Designer: intelligent label templates in the browser

Cloud Designer is the browser-based template designer built into Veraciti™, with no local install and no Java dependency. Designers work from a background trace imported from the Asset Manager and lay out smart containers that pull approved content at generation time, rather than holding their own copy.

Colors are managed centrally and templates are validated for print readiness before release. One template serves around ten labels on average, which is what makes bulk change possible later.

More on Cloud Designer

Automated artwork generation

Automated artwork generation and Adobe integration

Automated Artwork Generation assembles pre-approved content into a pre-approved template, creating labels and artworks in seconds rather than days and removing the manual steps where transcription errors creep in.

For design-led work, Veraciti™ Cascade streams approved content directly into Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. Artworkers keep full control of the design, and the content is always the approved version.

Artwork review, comparison and approval

Veraciti™'s comparison tool shows exactly what changed between two versions of an artwork, so approvers review the differences instead of re-reading the whole label.

Reviewers annotate directly on the artwork, and approval is captured with a 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 compliant electronic signature. The approved version is stored back in the Asset Manager automatically, with full version control and metadata. Teams standardized on Global Vision Verify can use it in place of the Kallik tool.

Worldwide factory label printing

Worldwide factory label printing

The approved label in Veraciti™ is the label that prints. There is no export to a separate print system and no re-creation step where an approved design can drift. It is a true closed-loop system, printing billions of labels for our customers.

Veraciti™ supports thousands of factory printer models, and we configure each one as part of the service. Print from Veraciti™ or trigger jobs from your ERP. Contract manufacturers see only their own labels, and LOT numbers and expiry dates come from ERP at print time.

THE OLD WAY
Content trapped in files

Labeling content lives inside design files, on shared drives and in email threads. Nothing can be reused, the same phrase exists in a dozen places, and every small change means re-opening and re-approving the whole artwork. Errors and rework are routine, and audit trails are thin.

THE KALLIK WAY
Content as managed assets

Every phrase, symbol, translation and template is a controlled, version-managed asset. Approve content once and reuse it everywhere, find every artwork a change affects at the touch of a button, and keep a full 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail of every version, decision and signature.

Cloud Native
Cloud-native on AWS

Containerized microservices on AWS with EKS orchestration, deployed across multiple availability zones with cross-AZ replication, automated backup and disaster recovery.

Validated for regulated use
Validated for regulated use

Every release is IQ and OQ pre-validated, and we provide validation and test scripts, which cuts your own QA effort. Our validation methodology follows GAMP 5.

Certified and compliant
Certified and compliant

ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials certified, with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 compliant electronic signatures and audit trails.

Open by design
Open by design

SOAP, REST and SFTP integration with SAML v2 single sign-on. Proven standard integrations to PLM, PDM, ERP, RIM and MES, including SAP S/4HANA.

Human accountability

AI assists and recommends. Approval, release and submission always stay with named, qualified people.

Explainable and auditable

Every AI-assisted action is recorded in the Part 11 audit trail: what was suggested, by which model version, and what the user did with it.

Your data stays yours

Your content is never used to train foundation models, and that commitment is written into our contracts. AI models run as managed services inside our own AWS estate.

Your controls

AI features are off by default and enabled per tenant. Model versions are pinned. The validated core system runs fully with every AI feature disabled.
