Bizongo, India’s largest digital supply chain system for auto-replenishment of packaging, has launched new features to its existing packaging artwork management platform Artwork Flow. These include Adobe Extension, Google Drive Extension, Spanish language website and translation services.
Ankit Tomar, co-founder and CTO of Bizongo, said, “These additions are designed to ease the process of artwork management, custom workflow and approval process. The integrated features allow brands to streamline their packaging artwork requirements, save time and money while providing visibility to every stakeholder through the process. These value additions enhance remote working capabilities of the platform which will be appreciated by existing users while proving attractive to potential users.”
The Adobe extension lets a designer access all the functionalities of Artwork Flow from within the Adobe ecosystem enabling them to access, view and save to the Artwork Flow library without having to leave Adobe. This also permits multiple tasks to be completed with a simple one-click upload process. The extension makes it easy for the brand teams to ascertain the accuracy between approved artworks and their source files, reducing the risk of product recalls because of wrongly uploaded files.
Meanwhile, the Google Drive extension gives the user the ability to push any PDF or AI file into Artwork Flow directly from Google Drive itself. This extension specifically caters to clients who use Google Drive for their artwork management instead of any specific workflow management tool.
Tomar also announced the launch of a fully translated Spanish language website for Artwork Flow. He added, “Spanish is the fourth most spoken language in the world, and we aimed to make it easier for Spanish speakers to use Artwork Flow creating an opportunity for Bizongo to target new markets.”
Apart from this, the Artwork Translation service will enable a user to translate an artwork to any language in the world in real-time. A planned upgrade of this feature will allow the replacement of the text on the artwork directly. This will help reduce the time taken for simultaneous product launches across different markets.
An automated compliance service on the Artwork Flow platform is also in the pipeline. This function lets a user build a set of custom checklists – right from the font size to FSSAI number with a fully automated proofing process. Thus, doing away with the need to manually check the artwork for any errors liable to be penalized for non-compliance of regulations.
