Case Study: Phototype achieves real-time print quality visibility and secure, customizable customer portals with OpenText Analytics (Actuate BIRT)

BIRT Empowers New Print Quality Management System with Analytics to Deliver “True Colors” and Consistent Consumer Package Graphics

Phototype, a Cincinnati‑based brand‑building company serving consumer packaged goods (CPG) clients, needed a better way to manage print quality and brand consistency than spreadsheets. Clients wanted real‑time visibility into print supply‑chain status, visually rich and actionable analytics, and secure, role‑based access to their data—requirements that outgrew Phototype’s manual processes and prompted a search for a robust analytics platform.

Phototype built BizIQ using Actuate BIRT (powered by BIRT iHub) to deliver interactive dashboards, customizable customer portals and multitenant security while integrating multiple data sources. The solution was rapidly deployed and adopted within months, giving customers real‑time tracking of brand and print quality, improved supplier oversight, strong data security and positive client feedback.
