Do you find managing your packaging projects a painful and difficult process?

Are you regularly missing deadlines?

Are pack change projects the stuff of nightmares for you and your team?

Do you need some projects quicker than others?

360 Works is our online packaging production automation management system, an end-to-end solution that can take your projects through from brief to delivery, and manage complex and high volume workloads with ease. Developed using the latest software and development techniques, it is the most flexible and customisable system on the market, blending industry standard packaging management software with our own in-house portal and briefing systems. And, as it has been developed and launched through the Covid crisis, it has ‘new normal’ built-in, with extensive troubleshooting testing done to support home working and last minute changes in team access. 

Features of 360 Works include: 

  • A bespoke briefing system that can be tailored to suit your preferences, whilst maintaining industry best practice and compliance. Briefs can be raised by nominated individuals and require review and sign off by all parties, such as brand, packaging, regulatory and legal teams, before artwork can begin, reducing errors and ensuring all information is available before the project gets underway, saving you time and money. Briefs that share common information or assets can be duplicated to save your team time and effort when raising large projects. We have developed this briefing procedure in partnership with a large, heavily regulated brand retailer, who have since adopted the system for all their own work across the UK and Asia.  

  • The DAM - our asset management system - enables all relevant assets, including imagery, icons and cutter guides, to be pooled together for instant access and easy retrieval. After sign off, we can store all completed artworks here for immediate retrieval on future projects, or we can link in to your own storage system if you prefer to store them yourself. 

  • Artwork approval is crucial to keep projects moving. All stakeholders are able to collaborate on artworks as you choose, either simultaneously or in a given order, to save time and unnecessary rounds of corrections, and a sophisticated tracking system keeps tabs and will warn you when projects are stalling, allowing you to bring things back on schedule. Auto critical path creation also aids with this, allowing you to track projects and plan smarter for the future. 

  • Through the Dashboard, you can oversee all elements of the project, including raising reports on correction round causes for internal review and future learning, as well as giving you insight on KPIs that can be personalised to your business. 

  • Finally, proxy settings allow you to administrate which staff are allocated to projects and have sign off approval with the click of a button. Control is in your hands, and you can reorganise, swap and cancel your team’s authority over different aspects in an instant, perfect for dealing with holidays, sick leave or team reshuffles due to remote and flexible working requirements.
