Case Study: H.J. Heinz achieves $16M savings and faster artwork approvals with BLUE Software

Blue™ Enables Industry Leader H.J. Heinz To Accelerate Its Artwork Process

The H.J. Heinz Company, a global consumer-packaged-goods leader, sought to improve its packaging artwork process by reducing revisions, increasing speed to market, tracking all artwork changes, and shortening approval cycle times.

Heinz implemented BLUE™ modules—Workflow Management, Online Proofing, and Digital Asset Manager—plus BLUE Business Intelligence to monitor performance. In the first three years Heinz reported more than $16 million in savings, now manages 235 brands, routes 1,300 SKUs and 1,100+ projects annually across a broad network of suppliers, and supports about 1,700 users in the U.S. and Canada, delivering faster approvals and measurable process improvements.
