Case Study: Advance Auto Parts achieves reclaimed time and millions in savings with Lytho

How the Visual Branding Team at Advance Auto Parts won back their personal time while saving the company millions

Advance Auto Parts’ Visual Branding Team — a 17-person group responsible for in-store signage, circulars and catalogs — was crippled by a broken proofing process. An unreliable, costly tool (plus expensive Acrobat licenses), browser incompatibilities and frequent software failures stretched review cycles to 2–3 weeks, created lost or illegible paper proofs, and cost the company an estimated $70–80K in salaried time per month.

They replaced it with inMotion’s cloud-based workflow and online proofing (including Job Launch for briefs), onboarding in 3–4 weeks. The result: projects now run 50–85% faster (some two-week jobs cut to 3 days), collaboration and meeting time improved, and support/training time dropped from ~200 to 21 hours/year — delivering substantial annual savings and faster time-to-market.
