What are the challenges of managing the graphic chain?
The graphic chain refers to all the actions required to create a communication media, from design to finalization. The management of the graphic chain for food or cosmetic products deals with many technical, organizational and regulatory aspects.
The packaging of the finished product, for example, must include legal data such as the ingredients list, nutritional values or some claims. At the same time, it is necessary to remain consistent with the brand identity and marketing requirements.
In addition to this complexity of content, there is an organizational challenge. Many actors within the company have a role to play in the development of this packaging (Purchasing, NPD, Quality, Marketing, Sales…).
A mismanagement of these issues:
- slows time to market for your products
- increases the risk of errors
- brings conflict into the collaboration of the different departments.
On the other hand, the control of the graphic chain, with an adapted tool, optimizes the life cycle of your products and simplifies the exchanges between collaborators.
What can beCPG offer you to manage graphic chain?

The integrity of your data
In beCPG, you can fill in all the information about your products, from their composition to allergens, including the origins of raw materials. (Do not hesitate to consult our article on GS1 data management).
Our automatic formulation module will then aggregate this data to calculate the labeling data. This avoids unnecessary data entry or import.
To go further, the software can be automated to integrate your business logic in the generation of labels (indication of geographical origins, percentages, aggregation of ingredients…)
As all the necessary data for the design of a artwork is in beCPG, you can save time by generating an agency/designer Brief.
Thanks to these features, you no longer need to design each label text by hand, beCPG does it for you!
