Reduce Costs

• Manpower Costs - Because employees no longer spend hours searching for assets, styling text and organising layouts, use of external agencies or freelancers can be eliminated. Significantly reduces the physical traffic between departments, national and overseas offices, suppliers etc.
• Freeing Information - Instead of having other departments or external bodies asking for assets, they can take text or image assets from the system "self-service".
• Increase Productivity - Create catalogues in days instead of weeks.

Increase Revenue

• Reduce "Time-to-Market" - A faster system of working, re-use of assets and automation mean you can update your catalogue or web-site quicker.
• Increase Marketing - Using the same staff numbers you have today, you can increase the number of catalogues you create, make more targeted catalogues or spend more time on design.
• Faster e-commerce - Quite often, websites are populated from printed pages, meaning product can't be sold online until it's been added to a catalogue. Using the Matrix CMS products can be approved and passed to e-commerce independently of print.
• Competitive Pricing - Prices can be changed automatically, minutes before print, allowing you to react quickly to changing circumstances or markets.
• Increase Sales - Cross-selling, up-selling and comparative tables can be managed from within the CMS.

Improve Flexibility

• Target Markets - With reduced production times and the ability to re-use assets you can create more targeted publications.
• One-Off Publications - Test markets, remove redundant or dormant stock from your warehouse, try regional or customised publications. These are all possible with the speed and flexibility gained from a Matrix CMS.
• Freshen Your Look - By storing all imagery for your products and keeping a history of what has been used when and where you can create fresh new looks by using assets not used before.
• Streamline production - Product information can be collated, updated and checked throughout the year thus eliminating a bottleneck at peak production times. Feed your web presence on or before the catalogue launch date.

Reduce Risk

• Version Control - The system keeps different versions for a user specified length of time. So when things are changed erroneously or someone just changes their mind, you can go back to earlier versions.
• Audit Trails - Track all the production history and changes to data with real time job/page tracking.
• Quality Data - Reduce errors by making the CMS your single repository for your product data. Type once and use anywhere.
• Access Rights - Access to the system is protected by a password, this allows you to control which people or groups can add, delete, view or amend data in any particular part of the system.
• Improve Accuracy - Improved accuracy of information via single entry updating giving brand consistency.
