GraFx Publisher offered Fineline the document editing, data-driven workflow and integration tools needed for Finelink 2.0.
Fineline had developed Finelink 1.0, an online document management and print-on- demand technology to help customers handle their printwork in one central location. But as marketing channels – and the ways in which clients collaborate - got customized, technology needed to adapt. Fineline struggled to find a partner that could be easily integrated and would ensure optimization of the marketing options in Finelink 1.0.
Whether it be multiple locations, franchises, or departments, the companies we speak to often are not working from the same marketing or business script. GraFx Publisher has helped us to solve that big challenge for our clients.

In GraFx Publisher, Fineline noticed a three- fold solution to the issues at hand. First off, the professional-level layout tools work for any kind of (non) professional designer. The online editor allows clients to better control their brand and legally required text via controlled access to design elements and their properties. Secondly, GraFx Publisher’s ability to create data-driven document management streamlines the marketing procure- ment process for Fineline clients, improving time and efficiency in their operations. Last but not least, CHILI publish’s API’s connects directly with such systems as asset management, project management, CRM’s like Salesforce, and marketing automation platforms.
The integration of GraFx Publisher completed the transformation to Finelink 2.0.
