The Customer
Since 1935 No7 Beauty Company has been creating beauty history by helping women and men look and feel their best every day.
With a rich health and beauty heritage and innovative skincare and make-up backed by science, they have become the trusted brand through the generations.
The Problem
No7 Beauty Company needed a provider and artwork management system that could manage the fast-moving nature of their business.
Enabling speed to market and reduced resource requirements from within the industry while also reducing the overall artwork re-loops they were experiencing.
The Solution
We worked with No7 Beauty Company on a pilot project allowing their team including Packaging Technologists, Formulation Technologists, Product Managers and Regulatory Advisors to use our system first hand. The feedback we received was extremely positive from the fact it was easy to use, less time consuming and inspiring as to what could be possible in the future. After being awarded the business in early 2022 we implemented the following:
• 16 week implementation process
• Recruitment of Brand Sentinel role
• Recruitment of team to drive artwork creation
• Coding of bespoke solutions
• Migration of over 5000 legacy files
• Migration of 1000’s of approved reusable standard statements
And Now…
Following a detailed implementation plan which includes a “Full Service” offering in phase one before moving to our “Concierge” service in Phase 2. No7 Beauty Company are now building a library of brand-maps which will allow their users to access and create artworks whenever they need. The long term plan is to move to phase 3 “Self-Service” which will link our systems to No7 Beauty Company’s internal PLM to fully drive automated artwork creation.
Traditional Model v Concierge Model
One of the first projects we worked on for was to create 40 No7 Cosmetic Shade Labels. This was an excellent test to prove the speed and agility of the system:
Traditional Model
• Template creation = 5 days
• Variant creation x 40 = 5 days
Concierge Model
• Brand-Map creation – 2 days (this also included customer approval)
• Variant creation x 40 = 1 day (including auto generated briefs for each variant)
“We have recently gone through a complex implementation with [T=Ø] – moving over 5000 legacy files, configuring new solutions specific for our needs and training our staff on all features. The team have been excellent, responsive, committed, passionate and 100% engaged.

Case Study
Speedo,
Pentland Brands
The Customer
With offices in over 20 locations globally, Pentland Brands is the name behind some of the world’s best sports, outdoor and lifestyle brands. Speedo, Berghaus, Canterbury of New Zealand, Endura, Ellesse, Mitre to name a few.
Their products are available in over 190 countries and are sold either directly or by licensees and distributors.
The Problem
With their previous supplier the Speedo brand encountered numerous delays with artwork production, especially with regards to the flexibility of creating multiple variants in a short space of time.
Due to the nature of their business a new goggle variant, for example, may be required at very short notice. This could take up to 5 working days from briefing to a PDF submitted for approval for one artwork.
The Solution
We worked with Speedo on a trial project for a regulatory change that impacted all of their goggle artworks, including cartons and labels. This included:
• 120 new artworks created overall
• 6 Brand-Maps produced – 10 days
• 6 Brand-Maps approved – 2 days
• 120 artworks generated from Excel data – 2 days
• 120 artworks checked – 3 days
• Client approval – 5 days – no errors
• Last minute regulatory change request which affected all 120 artworks, managed in 45 minutes (saving weeks)
• Release to printer 1 day
And Now…
Speedo now have a range of approved brand-maps stored within our Image+ platform.
Whenever a new variant is required their Packaging Manager simply creates a brief in Workflow+ and then using our online Editor+ platform creates the new artwork in minutes, generates a PDF and then uploads directly to Workflow+ to route for approval.
Once the artwork is approved they simply download a PDF and send it directly to their printer or product supplier.
“Here at Speedo we are delighted! I’m now able to create my own artworks online and then easily make changes.

Wild Nutrition
The Customer
Wild Nutrition create products with purpose, backed by science, and using natural ingredients of exceptional quality.
Stocked in more than 50 countries around the world, with a UK-based team committed to transforming lives through better nutrition.
The Problem
Wild Nutrition needed a smarter way of creating their packaging artworks to streamline the process and maintain consistency across their product range. The traditional method of managing artwork designs was time-consuming, a more efficient approach was essential to ensure that packaging could be produced faster without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
The Solution
We worked alongside Wild Nutrition to create a range of brand-maps covering their complete artwork portfolio. This has allowed them the freedom to generate new artworks and amend existing artworks whenever they need to. We are always on hand to assist them whenever needed for design modifications, addition of new logos etc but in the main they can just log-on, create and generate a PDF for approval.
And Now…
As a result, Wild Nutrition has been able to meet growing demand, reduce costs, and stay agile in a competitive market. With a range of approved brand-maps stored within our Image+ platform and using our online Editor+ platform creating new artwork in minutes.
“Nothing is too much for them. They do whatever it takes to ensure the process runs smoothly. They really do care…..we recommend them without hesitation.”
