The Challenge
Cummins Inc. is a Fortune 500 company that designs, manufactures and distributes engines, filtration, and power generation products.
For their European branch, Cummins needed a reliable supplier for mass packaging artwork production for their wide range of products in order to optimize their speed to market locally.
The biggest challenge was to deliver an optimized workflow on local level in order to cover the company’s high requirements.
Approach
After carefully reviewing the company guidelines, we focused on several different areas in order to asses the specific needs.
Speed to market was crucial as Cummins has a high product turnover. We proposed a cloud-based file exchange which significantly reduced timing.
Design compliance is extremely important as Cummins is a global company that requires global approach. In order to keep everything in line, we devised an improved internal process to ensure compatibility.
Solution
After carefully reviewing all the requirements, we were able to deliver artwork faster, comply with all the strict requirements and overall improve the local packaging artwork production workflow.
Additionally, we implemented a versioning system that ensured easier artwork tracking and adjustments if the initial requirements were changed.
Result
Cummins Inc. now has an improved packaging artwork production process which aids the company on the European market.
Meanwhile, we are the only approved supplier in Europe for the company.
