Artwork, or indeed 'asset' Management Systems; what are they, and when do you need them? If your business is involved in, or makes use of packaging artwork/assets, then you're well aware of the time overhead involved with even the most rudimentary changes and updates to existing designs, let alone considering brand new designs, or the many various workflows attached, like webs, to the process involving such changes.

It's no surprise at all then, that when a business grows to such a degree, and with such a wealth of SKU's demanding individual designs, along with this additional overhead, that can quickly snowball into an immovable time and financial weight on the business. This is the point at which an AMS solution can become imperative. More than simply being a workflow tool or project management system, the AMS exists to host and maintain artwork specifically, to track it, to digest it down to its basic components and provide ways to keep each of those components and update them, if needed, changing any number of designs in an instant.

Assign jobs, roles, workflows, maintain the ideal order of business -your business- and make sure every person, in-house or external to your company has access to the always-up-to-date assets they need to do their job, and nothing else. Integrate with and supercharge industry standard programs and packages for design and development such as the Adobe suite. Track and audit changes, and create a workflow that actually flows.
