Background
Imagin' Ltd are an innovative
visual communications business based just outside
Southampton, they have been established for over 7
years. GOWI were introduced to Imagin over 18 months
ago through a mutual client and have become a preferred
partner for all Imagin's web development work for
themselves and on behalf of their own clients.
Problem
Imagin' realised they spent a
great deal of time managing PDF's which were used
to obtain client sign off or alteration, prior to
printing a required item of literature. The team's
Outlook inbox was awash with copies of the same PDF
sent to the Imagin' office by the same client who
had cc'd in the whole team. This was causing not only
a time problem but a server memory problem as well.
Solution
Imagin' approached GOWI to develop
an online proofing application that would house one
copy of a PDF proof and notify the client by email
attaching a link to the PDF. Any client changes were
added by means of comments to the proof record and
an audit history was built up of the proofs life cycle.
Revisions that were necessary were added to the job
record and uploaded to the central proof server requiring
only one item to be in existence at any one time.
Benefits
The clients receive proofs as
soon as Imagin' have finished producing them and any
comments applied are notified to Imagin' as soon as
the client submits them, reminders are also automatically
generated should a client fail to view a proof in
a specified time frame. This has significant benefits
in meeting tight deadlines.
