The Verify x Esko WebCenter Integration represents a digital shift in the packaging artwork review process.
Verify x Esko WebCenter – An Integration to Unify Your Artwork Management Processes
The integration brings together Esko’s WebCenter, a web-based platform specifically tailored for CPG and pharmaceutical corporations to manage all aspects of the packaging management workflow from creation to approval and distribution—with GlobalVision’s industry-leading automated proofreading platform, Verify. The result is a unified and user-friendly workflow that streamlines document quality inspections and ensures 100% accuracy, compliance, and print readiness.
This integration harmonizes previously siloed systems that did not communicate with each other, which forced artwork, labeling, and prepress managers to constantly move back and forth between systems throughout disjointed packaging artwork processes. As teams need to meet strict deadlines, these disjointed processes resulted in major delays that ultimately hindered go-to-market timelines, team productivity, and even information security.
With the Verify x Esko WebCenter Integration, users can now perform various checks, including text and graphics comparisons, spell check, braille, and barcode inspections, and then seamlessly integrate these inspection reports including annotations back into their workflow with single-click file transfers.
Guarantees Content Security
The Verify x Esko WebCenter Integration changes the way artwork, labeling, and prepress teams operate by putting data security at the forefront of this automation.
The integration not only automates the proofreading process and removes the need for manual file transfers and reviews, it also ensures that all files and their data is being protected. This is due to the closed-loop integration that ensures that all files leaving Esko WebCenter are securely transferred to Verify, prioritizing data security and protecting sensitive information. Through this integration, teams can now have complete confidence that all files are safe, accurate, and up-to-date.
This secure and seamless interaction between systems allows for a smoother, more efficient process from start to finish, providing the right foundations for producing high-quality products while simultaneously giving teams confidence that their sensitive information remains within the protected confines of the integration.
IT and Technology leaders can be assured that their teams are leveraging the latest innovations in automated proofreading while safeguarding files and data against potential threats.
Ensures File Compliance
By operating within the secure framework provided by this integration, teams can now automatically identify errors in labeling and packaging materials. This capability is critical in minimizing the risk of compliance issues, especially for CPG, pharmaceutical, and other regulated industries, where it helps ensure patient and consumer safety.
Through this integration, teams can position themselves as having the highest quality standards on the market, while keeping compliance at the forefront of their operations. With the ability to consistently produce error-free labeling and packaging assets, artwork, labeling and prepress teams can uphold and maintain compliance with the industry’s most stringent regulations. This focus on quality and compliance translates into greater trust and confidence from consumers and regulatory bodies alike.
The Verify x Esko WebCenter Integration empowers teams to not just meet but exceed regulatory requirements, reinforcing their commitment to excellence and safeguarding their organization’s reputation for producing high-quality, compliant products.
