Innovation thrives at Artoos Group with customised training 

Artoos Group sought ways to make their workflow more efficient. Through our customised training, they gained new techniques to automate repetitive tasks. The result? Fewer mistakes, more time for creativity, and a team prepared to take the next step in innovation.

Artoos Group – parent company of Artoos, Hayez and IPM Printing – brings online and offline communication to life with a focus on innovation and sustainability. Although their graphics team works daily with Adobe InDesign and is well-versed in the latest features, they recognised opportunities to further enhance their workflow. To achieve this, they turned to Catena Company for a tailor-made training programme.

Catena Company is no stranger to the Artoos Group, as colleagues had previously attended customised training sessions there. The sessions were very well-received: “During the training, everyone was very enthusiastic about the instructor. So, when we were looking for an Adobe InDesign Advanced training, we immediately reached out to Catena Company again.” 

Immediate practical application 

The graphics team at Artoos Group was eager to expand their skills and asked Catena Company to cover a range of topics during the training. Once again, the feedback was unanimously positive. “The instructor had a perfect mastery of Adobe InDesign and conveyed their knowledge clearly.” Although the pace of the training felt fast at times, the team attributed this to their own ambitious agenda: “We just planned far too many topics. That’s just how eager we are to learn!” For Catena Company, this was no problem. With every customised training programme, we first analyse the client’s needs and ensure that all requested topics are covered effectively. 

Not much later, some colleagues started working on GREP styles and the team appointed a working group that would deal with paragraph styles and next styles. “The intention is to apply those styles to our recurring assignments so that we can work even more efficiently and quickly.” 

The instructors are true experts in their field. This fact hasn’t gone unnoticed at Artoos Group. The team is already eagerly anticipating their next training on the Dynamic Data Publishing Suite (DDPS). This powerful technology automates the processing and publishing of data from various sources, such as PIM and CRM systems, directly into formatted designs. With DDPS, time-consuming tasks like manual data entry are eliminated, enabling faster and more efficient creation of error-free designs. 

With DDPS , Artoos Group can automate repetitive tasks and consistently produce quality publications, such as catalogues, product sheets and technical datasheets, in multiple languages. This enables the graphics team to optimise the workflow and have even more time for creative tasks.
