What is color process workflow integration?

Integrating your color management software with your core systems enables automated, real-time exchange of color standards, recipes, and quality control data.

This eliminates manual data handling, reduces errors, and ensures consistency across departments and production sites.

Examples of connected systems include:

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems)
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)
LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems)
Industrial automation platforms

Key benefits of integrating color data into your core business processes

Streamline workflows by reducing manual data entry and duplicated effort.

Improved Accuracy

Automated data transfer minimizes errors and ensures consistent color results.

Faster Time-to-Market

Enable quicker decision-making with real-time data sharing between teams and systems.

Better Data Utilization

Gain insights through analytics and support data-driven decisions.

Scalable Integration

Designed to fit your existing setup and grow with your business.

What Can Be Integrated?

Our integration approach supports key data types used in color management:

Color Standards & Recipes: Specifications used throughout lab and production.
Quality Control Data: Measurements for incoming goods, in-process checks, and finished products.
Analytics Data: Trend analysis, process optimization, and reporting.

These data types are categorized as:

Master Data: created once, reused across workflows
Transactional Data: tied to specific events or production steps
Analytical Data: generated from aggregated or processed records
