Success Story – Zine Group

Challenge

The Zine Group faced unique challenges in adapting to a remote work environment, requiring a solution that could offer a comprehensive publication overview and efficient workflow management. Before using WoodWing, they lacked an integrated system for managing their publishing process, making it difficult to maintain a streamlined workflow in a remote setting. 

Solution

Michael Belknap and his team chose WoodWing for its ability to centralize the workflow, content server, and routing process. This decision was influenced by their prior experience with WoodWing in a corporate environment and the need for a solution that could adapt to their remote work model. The WoodWing system was implemented to facilitate better management of digital assets and publication overviews. 

As a business, WoodWing is our number one investment. It is our communication tool, our routing tool, and our ability to work within one workspace. It is the most valuable tool in print production, and I don't think there's any other substitute that's as good as WoodWing.
