Who uses it,
and which part it solves

Six detailed projects: three on the label line, three on the printing line.

Each case spells out three things — where the client was stuck, which products we deployed, and which number changed after go-live.

Three projects with major brand owners

Common thread: label content must match filings, and SKUs and versions are too many for manual comparison.

L'Oréal (China)Beauty
Case 01 · L'Oréal (China)

E-label and smart label management upgrade based on the label system

ChallengeE-label regulations are imminent and label content must match filings; approvals, HP and labels are scattered across different systems and design files — one change missed is a compliance risk.
ApproachThe label management system serves as the master data foundation, consolidating approvals, HP and formulas; the E-Label module maps fields to generate compliant display pages that update when filings change.
ResultE-label and label management run on the same dataset, significantly reducing compliance break risks; label changes no longer rely on manual line-by-line comparison.

Smart label design and business collaboration powered by the label system

ChallengeMultiple brands, specs and channels overlap, creating massive label version volume; design, regulatory and business teams confirm via email and files, with progress chased manually.
ApproachLabel design connects to master data: design happens in Smart Designer while fields and versions are managed centrally by the label management system; reviews flow online with every change tracked.
ResultLabel design and management efficiency improved; cross-department collaboration no longer relies on manual follow-ups and version comparison.

Full-chain traceability based on item-level codes and inkjet coding

ChallengeHealth products face strong pressure from diversion and counterfeiting; batch-level labels can't trace to individual items. Import Chinese labels add extra process steps and rework.
ApproachOne-Thing-One-Code creates a digital identity for each product; inkjet coding completes on the production line or in-warehouse, with codes bound to batches, channels and orders at the moment of printing; traceability verifies authenticity and identifies flow on top.
ResultFrom coding to terminal, an item-level traceability chain is formed; channel flow is visible and anomalies can trigger alerts.

Three projects with equipment makers, platforms and publishers

Common thread: high volume, long processes, many manual steps — any error means costly rework.

Case 04 · Ricoh (China)

Smart quoting and document management to boost printing enterprise efficiency

ChallengePrinting material quoting has many parameters and combinations; manual calculation is slow and inconsistent. Document versions are prone to being outdated during circulation.
ApproachDeployed smart quoting and document management: BOM structured modeling enables automatic quoting; document versions and status are centrally controlled by the system.
ResultPrinting material quoting achieves second-level response; document version error rate dropped by approximately 80%.

Large-scale file prepress processing and production supply chain management

ChallengeConsumer-uploaded files come in all sorts of formats, tens of thousands daily; manual preflight can't keep up, resulting in high rework rates and unstable delivery.
ApproachPrePress Center handles automatic preflight, imposition and output standardization; production auto-dispatches by capacity and process; the entire supply chain flows through the system.
ResultTens of thousands of files processed daily with zero manual intervention; file rework rate dropped by approximately 70%.

Prepress automation deployment for publishing print process standardization

ChallengePublishing preflight and review rules are numerous and high-volume; standards rely entirely on senior staff experience — when people change, standards drift.
ApproachPreflight and review rules are codified into system rules; prepress automation executes in batch, with only edge cases escalated to manual review.
ResultPreflight and review team efficiency improved approximately 5×; manual intervention count dropped approximately 90%. Process standards no longer depend on individual experience.

Client Types

Three types of clients, different reasons for choosing us

Brand Owners

Compliance can't go wrong

Beauty, pharma and health brands care that label content always matches filings and that item-level traceability is in place. The entry point is usually the label management system.

Printers & Platforms

High volume, can't rely on manual handoff

Factories, ad agencies and online print platforms care about the automation level from order to delivery. The entry point is usually PrePress Center or the ordering system.

Equipment Makers & Schools

Must fit inside their own products

Equipment makers need DFE and job management delivered with the machine; publishing and printing schools use it for teaching and training. The entry point is usually the equipment-side products.
