- It is a complete solution: automated & manual data uploads, style guide integrations, metadata use, real-time production status, user-friendly platforms, retouching vendors integration, etc.
- They have an excellent knowledge of the fashion development cycle (a plus) and have a network of high-volume photo studio customers (they understood our requirement on day 1)
- They are structured to process and act on different types of feedback (short- and long-term actions); they release software updates monthly.
- We can now provide assets under several different clients' requirements and over 50 style guides.
- Freelancers can be autonomous quickly since Kelvin module displays the required angles.
To have a centralized platform that optimizes my workflow.
I have a backup of my files and can find and download all the assets in gamma.
I have a better overview of our photo production and can track my own production through a period of time. For instance, I have stats and know exactly how much has been shot every month and how far we are in our production.
I avoid shooting the same product two times, as the program will show me if the sample has been registered in the platform before.
I don’t need to name files manually.
I have access to my colleague’s production, and we can make quality check of each other’s images, in case if one of us is absent.
I don’t need to login in our external editing service site to reject and comment on images, everything is done through the quality check in gamma. Also, I can write instructions and send images to be corrected internally, by myself or my colleague.
We have specific style guides in gamma and Kelvin for each product category, and a feature with color reference so our external editing service will follow standard settings and match model images with packshots.
I can reset the production, if needed and can choose which step to be redone.
Instead of batch upload, we have each style being uploaded immediately to external production, this is indeed a more effective flow: the images will be edited right away and delivered back faster. Before, I could not expect to have images ready on the same day as they have being shot, but now this is actually possible. Thus, instead of having to wait to process all the images at once in the end of the day, I export and upload just a few images at a time and I can put the clothes on the mannequin while the files are being exported from my software, which makes my flow faster.
Creative Force has it 24/7 Helpdesk which is very easy for quick questions. Next to that, the set-up per style guide makes it possible to automatize your workflow.
