In the paint industry, workloads can often come in waves, driven by seasonal trends, market demands, or new product launches. This variability can strain internal resources, leading to bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Datacolor’s Paint Lab Services are designed to provide flexible support during these peak periods, allowing paint companies to seamlessly manage these fluctuations without overburdening their core staff.
By leveraging Datacolor as a strategic extension of their operations, paint laboratories can effectively scale their production capabilities up or down, depending on current demands. This adaptability ensures that they can respond swiftly to market opportunities without the risk of delays or compromised quality.
Addressing Industry Challenges
The introduction of a new paint product can be resource-intensive, encompassing significant internal efforts and speed challenges for paint laboratories. The “Wet Work” required to integrate a new base paint into existing systems can create significant backlogs, with each new base requiring up to 100 panels for accurate color matching. This intensive labor can severely delay product launches due to limited manpower.
