Artwork Flow Client Onboarding Sprint (5-7 days)
A structured onboarding sprint to configure Artwork Flow for a packaging client, including workflow setup, compliance rules, and team training, enabling faster approvals and audit-ready asset management.
- Client has identified 1-3 packaging SKUs for the pilot workflow.
- Access to Artwork Flow Professional plan or higher (or Free plan for up to 3 users).
- Client brand assets (logos, fonts, color palettes) available for DAM library upload.
- Regulatory framework identified (e.g., FDA, FSSAI) for compliance checklist configuration.
- Client team roster with reviewer roles defined (e.g., brand manager, regulatory lead, production).
- 1.Set up Artwork Flow workspace and invite client team members (up to 10 users on Professional plan).
- 2.Upload client brand assets into the DAM library, organizing by product line and asset type.
- 3.Configure user roles and permissions for reviewers, approvers, and external collaborators.
- 1.Build a pilot approval workflow in the workflow builder, mapping stages from brief to final approval.
- 2.Define compliance checklists based on the client's regulatory framework (e.g., FDA, FSSAI).
- 3.Enable version compare and annotation tools for the pilot project.
- 1.Run a test artwork through the workflow, using AI-powered proofing for font and spell check.
- 2.Configure barcode analysis and color analysis checks for the test file.
- 3.Adjust workflow steps and reviewer assignments based on test results.
- 1.Integrate Artwork Flow with client's existing tools, such as Slack and Google Drive (Professional plan).
- 2.Set up e-signature requirements for final approvals.
- 3.Train client team on using the platform for reviews and approvals.
- 1.Launch the pilot workflow with a live packaging project.
- 2.Monitor approval cycle times and identify bottlenecks.
- 3.Document the workflow configuration and provide a handoff guide.
With a $2,500 setup fee and $30/user/month subscription, an agency can resell this onboarding as a $2,500 service, covering the tool cost for the first year (10 users x $30 x 12 = $3,600) and leaving a margin. For a 20-hour effort, the effective hourly rate is $125, well above typical agency delivery costs.
- Configured Artwork Flow workspace with client DAM library and user roles.
- Pilot approval workflow with compliance checklists and AI proofing rules.
- Integration setup with Slack and Google Drive, plus e-signature configuration.
- Client training session and recorded walkthrough.
- Workflow documentation and handoff guide.
The client's pilot packaging project completes a full approval cycle in Artwork Flow with all compliance checks passed and the team trained to manage subsequent projects independently.
