Why CHILI GraFx?

There are many customer-centric, compelling reasons why SaaS is the right direction for technology platforms of all types. SaaS has good company, of course, with global players like Microsoft®, Apple®, Adobe® and Google® fully adopting it for many of their software solutions. Today, every size of business from enterprise to Mom & Pop shops is now using SaaS at some level or another.

The business benefits of moving to SaaS for graphic production tech are particularly compelling. In 2022, we were privileged to sit down with Jasper De Craeker, Delivery Leader at Positive Thinking Company (PTC) and cloud visionary, to examine why it is the right time to be moving to cloud-based graphic production. Check out our interview with Jasper to get a comprehensive overview of how the cloud is radically improving graphic production for customers and providers alike.

Some of the key benefits that CHILI GraFx brings:

Smart Template Builders

At the heart of CHILI GraFx are Smart Templates (built in GraFx Studio and GraFx Publisher). They simplify and automate designing and producing graphics at scale. And from a single Smart Template, CHILI GraFx can deliver truly versatile output for Print, Digital, and Animated graphics.

Resource Management

CHILI GraFx provides an asset library (GraFx Media) and a fonts repository (GraFx Fonts), as well as brand or project-specific style groups (GraFx Styleskits), and the easy integration of data sources to allow fully automated graphical production (GraFx Data).

Analytics

Centralize, control and manage the cost-benefit relationship of users/groups, Smart Templates and output (GraFx Insights).

AI

Evolving rapidly, AI is already reducing time spent creating new Smart Templates by up to 80% (GraFx Genie) – and more functionality is being added all the time.

And beyond the benefits of these out-of-the-box applications, CHILI GraFx also comes with felxible, industry tailored features. Our comprehensive API, for example, is well documented and fully exposed – we even use it to build all our own applications. And we also provide an SDK for our Smart Template editor, GraFx Studio.

Developers can configure end-to-end creative automation without constraints and work in realtime with feedback within the safety of an ISO-certified environment.
