Improving Workflow Efficiency

From needlessly laborious to effortless and effective

Challenge

As the design department grew, so did our workload. It became necessary to find efficiencies to streamline production processes.

Solution

  • Audit each step in all standardized processes

  • Identify which steps could be merged through automation

  • Write the necessary scripts in Photoshop, Acrobat and InDesign

  • Edit our SOP documentation and train team on updated workflow

Outcome

We cut workload and future training time significantly. Gaining automation as a skill enabled the team to help other designers streamline their workflows in a similar fashion.
