Based in Indianapolis, IN, Gilchrist & Soames provides cosmetic-grade toiletry collections to world-class hotels, resorts, cruise lines, spas, inns and bed & breakfast establishments.
提供一个广泛的产品,包括城市oo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, dental rinse, bath salts, bar soaps, and necessities, Gilchrist & Soames has a lot to manage, from a design, development, formulation, manufacturing, quality assurance, and distribution standpoint. “It’s thousands of SKUs,”
Moorhead told his audience.
So Gilchrist and Soames started looking for a way to keep track of the most current art revisions, without having to maintain a big book of artwork per project. They turned toWS Packaging Group
(www.wspackaging.com)及其WebFlex™在线订购、打样和草phics asset management system. Gilchrist & Soames has partnered with WS Packaging to develop and print the labels for the majority of its personal care product lines. The impact has been profound. With WebFlex, all art files are stored in a single, centralized electronic profile. It’s a secure site, password protected, with limited access, which provides a great level of security. The art upload and group proofing features of WebFlex offer Gilchrist & Soames convenience and efficiency. Uploading artwork is intuitive and makes sharing information much easier.”
Artwork is uploaded directly to the WebFlex server without having to use a third-party FTP site, where file corruption often occurs. Once loaded, a notice is sent to the appropriate WS Packaging contact(s) in the field. The process happens almost instantaneously. Each version of uploaded artwork is then stored on the server, creating an artwork library that can be easily accessed at any time.
Moorhead concluded his presentation this way: “By eliminating confusion in tracking orders, and by eliminating cushion time that is traditionally built into a supply chain of this nature, lots of time and energy are saved at Gilchrist & Soames.”
